Subject: tun: Fix device unregister race
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d23e43658aed286b885d398ff0810f04f6aae97f;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

tun: Fix device unregister race

It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister
to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice.  This
is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether
__tun_get(tfile) != NULL.  This however has nothing to do with
whether the device has already been unregistered.  All it tells
you is whether __tun_detach has been called.

This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test
whether the device has been unregistered.

It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing
that it does requires that lock.
