The problem occurs between dev_get_by_index() and dev_xdp_attach_link().
At this point, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called. Then xdp link will not be
detached automatically when dev is released. But link->dev already
points to dev, when xdp link is released, dev will still be accessed,
but dev has been released.

dev_get_by_index()        |
link->dev = dev           |
                          |      rtnl_lock()
                          |      unregister_netdevice_many()
                          |          dev_xdp_uninstall()
                          |      rtnl_unlock()
rtnl_lock();              |
dev_xdp_attach_link()     |
rtnl_unlock();            |
                          |      netdev_run_todo() // dev released
bpf_xdp_link_release()    |
    /* access dev.        |
       use-after-free */  |

This patch adds a check of dev->reg_state in dev_xdp_attach_link(). If
dev has been called release, it will return -EINVAL.

It depends on the caller, right? Not all callers even take the rtnl
lock. AFAIU dev_get_by_index() gives the caller a ref'ed netdev object.
If all the caller cares about is the netdev state itself that's
perfectly fine. 

If caller has ordering requirements or needs to talk to the driver
chances are the lookup and all checks should be done under rtnl.
Or there must be some lock dependency on rtnl (take a lock which 
unregister netdev of the device of interest would also take).

In case of XDP we impose extra requirements on ourselves because we
want the driver code to be as simple as possible.

It'd be moot, dev_get_by_index() is under RCU and unregister path syncs
RCU, but that doesn't guarantee anything if caller holds no locks.

Entire rtnetlink is under rtnl_lock, and so is unregistering a netdev
so those paths can't race.

Yep. As Xuan also mentioned, if dev_get_by_index and attach happens
under the same lock then we can't really get dev that's unregistered.

Ok, all makes sense, thanks for explaining.
