[PATCH 5.17 054/343] ref_tracker: implement use-after-free detection

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 12 2022 - 04:40:59 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e3ececfe668facd87d920b608349a32607060e66 ]

Whenever ref_tracker_dir_init() is called, mark the struct ref_tracker_dir
as dead.

Test the dead status from ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free()

This should detect buggy dev_put()/dev_hold() happening too late
in netdevice dismantle process.
