xfrm: cache the offload ifindex for netlink dumps
copy_to_user_state_extra() only holds a reference to the outer xfrm_state.
That does not pin x->xso.dev. NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_UNREGISTER can race
through xfrm_dev_state_flush(), xfrm_state_delete(), and
xfrm_dev_state_free(), which clears xso->dev and drops the netdev
reference before the GETSA dump reaches xso_to_xuo() and reads
xso->dev->ifindex.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
XFRM_MSG_GETSA dump path: NETDEV teardown path:
1. xfrm_get_sa() gets xfrm_state 1. xfrm_dev_state_flush() finds x
2. copy_to_user_state_extra() sees 2. xfrm_state_delete() removes x
x->xso.dev from the SAD
3. copy_user_offload() calls 3. xfrm_dev_state_free() clears
xso_to_xuo() xso->dev
4. xso->dev->ifindex dereferences 4. netdev_put() drops the device
a detached net_device reference
Avoid following the live net_device from the dump paths. Cache the
attached ifindex in xfrm_dev_offload when state or policy offload is bound
to a device, and serialize that snapshot instead. This preserves the
user-visible XFRMA_OFFLOAD_DEV value without depending on the embedded
net_device lifetime.
Validation reproduced this kernel report:
