Hello!
I believe that the aoecmd_cfg method in aoecmd.c can reference
the net-devices after free. The reason is that it grabs and releases
the interface with dev_hold, dev_put, but after putting everything, it
then does the transmit of the skbs...
Thanks, I'll make a note to look into that. (I'll be out of town soon
for a few days.)
Based on your understanding of the issue, can you trigger any
problematic behavior?
No, it's purely theoretical..and I may be completely wrong. I'm
just auditing the netdevice reference counting code and thought
that part looked a little funny.
Thanks,
Ben
