macvlan: Fix use after free of struct macvlan_port.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the macvlan driver was extended to call unregisgter_netdevice_queue
in 23289a3, a use after free of struct
macvlan_port was introduced.  The code in dellink relied on unregister_netdevice
actually unregistering the net device so it would be safe to free macvlan_port.

Since unregister_netdevice_queue can just queue up the unregister instead of
performing the unregiser immediately we free the macvlan_port too soon and
then the code in macvlan_stop removes the macaddress for the set of macaddress
to listen for and uses memory that has already been freed.

To fix this add a reference count to track when it is safe to free the macvlan_port
and move the call of macvlan_port_destroy into macvlan_uninit which is guaranteed
to be called after the final macvlan_port_close.
