"cat /proc/net/dev" uses RCU protection only. Its quite possible we call a driver get_stats() method while device is dismantling and freeing its data structures. So get_stats() methods must be very careful not accessing driver private data without appropriate locking. In ixgbe case, we access rx_ring pointers. These pointers are freed in ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() and set to NULL, this can trigger NULL dereference in ixgbe_get_stats64() A possible fix is to use RCU locking in ixgbe_get_stats64() and defer rx_ring freeing after a grace period in ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Reported-by: NTantilov, Emil S <emil.s.tantilov@intel.com> Tested-by: NRoss Brattain <ross.b.brattain@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NJeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
