net: fix dev_ifsioc_locked() race condition
commit 3b23a32a63219f51a5298bc55a65ecee866e79d0 upstream.
dev_ifsioc_locked() is called with only RCU read lock, so when
there is a parallel writer changing the mac address, it could
get a partially updated mac address, as shown below:
Thread 1 Thread 2
// eth_commit_mac_addr_change()
memcpy(dev->dev_addr, addr->sa_data, ETH_ALEN);
// dev_ifsioc_locked()
memcpy(ifr->ifr_hwaddr.sa_data,
dev->dev_addr,...);
Close this race condition by guarding them with a RW semaphore,
like netdev_get_name(). We can not use seqlock here as it does not
allow blocking. The writers already take RTNL anyway, so this does
not affect the slow path. To avoid bothering existing
dev_set_mac_address() callers in drivers, introduce a new wrapper
just for user-facing callers on ioctl and rtnetlink paths.
Note, bonding also changes slave mac addresses but that requires
a separate patch due to the complexity of bonding code.
Fixes: 3710becf8a58 ("net: RCU locking for simple ioctl()")
