The dev_tracker is added to ax25_cb in ax25_bind(). When the
ax25 device is detaching, the dev_tracker of ax25_cb should be
deallocated in ax25_kill_by_device() instead of the dev_tracker
of ax25_dev. The log reported by ref_tracker is shown below:

<title>ax25: fix use-after-free bugs caused by ax25_ds_del_timer</title>

<id>fd819ad3ecf6f3c232a06b27423ce9ed8c20da89</id>
<content type='text'>
When the ax25 device is detaching, the ax25_dev_device_down()
calls ax25_ds_del_timer() to cleanup the slave_timer. When
the timer handler is running, the ax25_ds_del_timer() that
calls del_timer() in it will return directly. As a result,
the use-after-free bugs could happen, one of the scenarios
is shown below:

      (Thread 1)          |      (Thread 2)
                          | ax25_ds_timeout()
ax25_dev_device_down()    |
  ax25_ds_del_timer()     |
    del_timer()           |
  ax25_dev_put() //FREE   |
                          |  ax25_dev-&gt; //USE

In order to mitigate bugs, when the device is detaching, use
timer_shutdown_sync() to stop the timer.

<title>ax.25: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz</title>

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz and pass the
ARRAY_SIZE of the ctl_table array that was used to create the table
variable. We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we
change SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro.
Failing to do so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a
pointer. We hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have
migrated all the relevant net sysctl registering functions to
register_net_sysctl_sz in subsequent commits.

variable. We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we
change SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro.
Failing to do so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a
pointer. We hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have
migrated all the relevant net sysctl registering functions to
register_net_sysctl_sz in subsequent commits.

Remove -&gt;sendpage() and -&gt;sendpage_locked().  sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead.  This allows multiple pages and
multipage folios to be passed through.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

<title>net: avoid overflow when rose /proc displays timer information.</title>

rose /proc code does not serialize timer accesses.

Initial report by Bernard F6BVP Pidoux exhibits overflow amounting
to 116 ticks on its HZ=250 system.

Full timer access serialization would imho be overkill as rose /proc
does not enforce consistency between displayed ROSE_STATE_XYZ and
timer values during changes of state.

The patch may also fix similar behavior in ax25 /proc, ax25 ioctl
and netrom /proc as they all exhibit the same timer serialization
policy. This point has not been reported though.

The sole remaining use of ax25_display_timer - ax25 rtt valuation -
may also perform marginally better but I have not analyzed it too
deeply.
