Subject: [PATCH net v7 3/3] ax25: Fix reference count leak issue of net_device
Date: Thu,  9 May 2024 17:37:02 +0800
Message-Id: <7ce3b23a40d9084657ba1125432f0ecc380cbc80.1715247018.git.duoming@zju.edu.cn>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1715247018.git.duoming@zju.edu.cn>
References: <cover.1715247018.git.duoming@zju.edu.cn>
Precedence: bulk

There is a reference count leak issue of the object "net_device" in
ax25_dev_device_down(). When the ax25 device is shutting down, the
ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count of net_device one
or zero times depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which will
cause memory leak.

In order to solve the above issue, decrease the reference count of
net_device after dev->ax25_ptr is set to null.

Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs")
