If a netdev has already been assigned, ib_device_set_netdev needs to release
the reference on the older but it is mistakenly being called for the new
netdev. Fix it and in the process use netdev_put to be symmetrical with
the netdev_hold.

It should stay netdev_tracker_free() and not netdev_put(). We are
calling to __dev_put(old_ndev) later in the function.

Thanks

missed that and KASAN and refcount debugging did not complain ...

Anyways, why have the 2 split apart? ie., why not remove the __dev_put
and just do netdev_put here? old_ndev is not needed in between calls.
Asymmetric calls like this are always confusing.

You probably can combine them, but to do so instead of __dev_put() and
not netdev_tracker_free().

Thanks

Maybe it is Ok like this:

@@ -2166,15 +2166,14 @@ int ib_device_set_netdev(struct ib_device *ib_dev, struct net_device *ndev,
                return 0;
        }

        if (old_ndev)
-               netdev_tracker_free(ndev, &pdata->netdev_tracker);
+               netdev_put(old_ndev, &pdata->netdev_tracker);
        if (ndev)
                netdev_hold(ndev, &pdata->netdev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC);
-       rcu_assign_pointer(pdata->netdev, ndev);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&pdata->netdev_lock, flags);
 
        add_ndev_hash(pdata);
-       __dev_put(old_ndev);
 
        return 0;
 }


Don't like that we drop the ref and leave the pdata->netdev assigned
to something with no ref, even though it is OK for RCU reasons..
