If there is a encap rule\noffloaded in ECMP mode, when one eswitch does unpair (because of\nunloading the driver, for instance), and the peer rule from the peer\neswitch is going to be deleted, the use-after-free error is triggered\nwhile accessing neigh info, as it is already cleaned up in uplink's\nprofile->disable, which is before its profile->cleanup_tx.\n\nTo fix this issue, move the neigh cleanup to profile's cleanup_tx\ncallback, and after mlx5e_cleanup_uplink_rep_tx is called. The neigh\ninit is moved to init_tx for symmeter.\n\n[ 2453.376299] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mlx5e_rep_neigh_entry_release+0x109/0x3a0 [mlx5_core]\n[ 2453.379125] Read of size 4 at addr ffff888127af9008 by task modprobe/2496\n\n[ 2453.381542] CPU: 7 PID: 2496 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B 6.4.0-rc7+ #15\n[ 2453.383386] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\n[ 2453.384335] Call Trace:\n[ 2453.384625] \n[ 2453.384891] dump_stack_lvl+0x33/0x50\n[ 2453.385285] print_report+0xc2/0x610\n[ 2453.385667] ?
