Lin Ma df8f79bcc2 ax25: NPD bug when detaching AX25 device
commit 1ade48d0c27d5da1ccf4b583d8c5fc8b534a3ac8 upstream.

The existing cleanup routine implementation is not well synchronized
with the syscall routine. When a device is detaching, below race could
occur.

static int ax25_sendmsg(...) {
  ...
  lock_sock()
  ax25 = sk_to_ax25(sk);
  if (ax25->ax25_dev == NULL) // CHECK
  ...
  ax25_queue_xmit(skb, ax25->ax25_dev->dev); // USE
  ...
}

static void ax25_kill_by_device(...) {
  ...
  if (s->ax25_dev == ax25_dev) {
    s->ax25_dev = NULL;
    ...
}

Other syscall functions like ax25_getsockopt, ax25_getname,
ax25_info_show also suffer from similar races. To fix them, this patch
introduce lock_sock() into ax25_kill_by_device in order to guarantee
that the nullify action in cleanup routine cannot proceed when another
socket request is pending.

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.
