Subject[PATCH net V5 2/2] ax25: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in ax25 timers
Date
There are race conditions that may lead to null pointer dereferences in
ax25_heartbeat_expiry(), ax25_t1timer_expiry(), ax25_t2timer_expiry(),
ax25_t3timer_expiry() and ax25_idletimer_expiry(), when we use
ax25_kill_by_device() to detach the ax25 device.

One of the race conditions that cause null pointer dereferences can be
shown as below:

(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
ax25_connect() |
ax25_std_establish_data_link() |
ax25_start_t1timer() |
mod_timer(&ax25->t1timer,..) |
| ax25_kill_by_device()
(wait a time) | ...
| s->ax25_dev = NULL; //(1)
ax25_t1timer_expiry() |
ax25->ax25_dev->values[..] //(2)| ...
... |

We set null to ax25_cb->ax25_dev in position (1) and dereference
the null pointer in position (2).

The corresponding fail log is shown below:
===============================================================
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc6-00794-g45690b7d0
RIP: 0010:ax25_t1timer_expiry+0x12/0x40
...

...

If ax25_disconnect() is called by ax25_kill_by_device() or ax25->ax25_dev
is NULL, the reason in ax25_disconnect() will be equal to ENETUNREACH.
This patch adds check and uses del_timer_sync() to delete timers in
ax25_disconnect(), it will wait all timers to stop before we set null
to ax25_cb->ax25_dev in ax25_kill_by_device().

Changes in V5:
- Add a check and use del_timer_sync() to delete timers in ax25_disconnect().
- Based on [PATCH net V5 1/2] ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by ax25_cb_del().
