Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pfcp: Destroy device along with udp socket's netns dismantle.
pfcp_newlink() links the device to a list in dev_net(dev) instead
of net, where a udp tunnel socket is created.
Even when net is removed, the device stays alive on dev_net(dev).
Then, removing net triggers the splat below. [0]
In this example, pfcp0 is created in ns2, but the udp socket is
created in ns1.
ip netns add ns1
ip netns add ns2
ip -n ns1 link add netns ns2 name pfcp0 type pfcp
ip netns del ns1
Let's link the device to the socket's netns instead.
Now, pfcp_net_exit() needs another netdev iteration to remove
all pfcp devices in the netns.
pfcp_dev_list is not used under RCU, so the list API is converted
to the non-RCU variant.
pfcp_net_exit() can be converted to .exit_batch_rtnl() in net-next.
