Subject: [PATCH] aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places

From: Chun-Yi Lee <[email protected]>

For fixing CVE-2023-6270, f98364e92662 patch moved dev_put() from
aoecmd_cfg_pkts() to tx() to avoid that the tx() runs into use-after-free.

But Nicolai Stange found more places in aoe have potential use-after-free
problem with tx(). e.g. revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe()
and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Those functions also use aoenet_xmit() to push
packet to tx queue. So they should also use dev_hold() to increase the
refcnt of skb->dev.

This patch adds dev_hold() to those functions and also uses dev_put()
when the skb_clone() returns NULL.

Do you have any suggestion for this patch? or I missed anything?

Thanks a lot!

Should curly brackets be used for both if branches in these function implementations?
