In event of failure during register_netdevice, free_netdev is invoked immediately. free_netdev assumes that all the netdevice refcounts have been dropped prior to it being called and as a result frees and clears out the refcount pointer. However, this is not necessarily true as some of the operations in the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier handlers queue RCU callbacks for invocation after a grace period. The IPv4 callback in_dev_rcu_put tries to access the refcount after free_netdev is called which leads to a null de-reference- 44837.761523: <6> Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000004a88287000 44837.761651: <2> pc : in_dev_finish_destroy+0x4c/0xc8 44837.761654: <2> lr : in_dev_finish_destroy+0x2c/0xc8 44837.762393: <2> Call trace: 44837.762398: <2> in_dev_finish_destroy+0x4c/0xc8 44837.762404: <2> in_dev_rcu_put+0x24/0x30 44837.762412: <2> rcu_nocb_kthread+0x43c/0x468 44837.762418: <2> kthread+0x118/0x128 44837.762424: <2> ret_from_fork+0x10/0x1c Fix this by waiting for the completion of the call_rcu() in case of register_netdevice errors.
