From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.16-rc1 commit c052cc1a069c3e575619cf64ec427eb41176ca70 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I9RCV5 CVE: CVE-2021-47479 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- Syzbot reported use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw(). The problem was in race condition between r871xu_dev_remove() ->ndo_open() callback. It's easy to see from crash log, that driver accesses released firmware in ->ndo_open() callback. It may happen, since driver was releasing firmware _before_ unregistering netdev. Fix it by moving unregister_netdev() before cleaning up resources.
