team: fix possible null pointer dereference in team_handle_frame
[ Upstream commit 57e595631904c827cfa1a0f7bbd7cc9a49da5745 ]
Currently following race is possible in team:
CPU0 CPU1
team_port_del
team_upper_dev_unlink
priv_flags &= ~IFF_TEAM_PORT
team_handle_frame
team_port_get_rcu
team_port_exists
priv_flags & IFF_TEAM_PORT == 0
return NULL (instead of port got
from rx_handler_data)
netdev_rx_handler_unregister
The thing is that the flag is removed before rx_handler is unregistered.
If team_handle_frame is called in between, team_port_exists returns 0
and team_port_get_rcu will return NULL.
So do not check the flag here. It is guaranteed by netdev_rx_handler_unregister
that team_handle_frame will always see valid rx_handler_data pointer.
