commit 0b9111922b1f399aba6ed1e1b8f2079c3da1aed8 upstream.
There is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below
(USE) | (FREE) dev_queue_xmit | __dev_queue_xmit | __dev_xmit_skb | sch_direct_xmit | ... xmit_one | netdev_start_xmit | tty_ldisc_kill __netdev_start_xmit | 6pack_close sp_xmit | kfree sp_encaps | |
According to the patch "defer ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev", this patch reorder the kfree after the unregister_netdev to avoid the possible UAF as the unregister_netdev() is well synchronized and won't return if there is a running routine.
