write_wakeup can happen in parallel with close/hangup where tty->disc_data is set to NULL and the netdevice is freed thus also freeing disc_data. write_wakeup accesses disc_data so we must prevent close from freeing the netdev while write_wakeup has a non-NULL view of tty->disc_data. We also need to make sure that accesses to disc_data are atomic. Which can all be done with RCU. This problem was found by Syzkaller on SLCAN, but the same issue is reproducible with the SLIP line discipline using an LTP test based on the Syzkaller reproducer. A fix which didn't use RCU was posted by Hillf Danton. Fixes: |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
