Oliver Hartkopp 20bab8b88b can: isotp: fix use-after-free race with concurrent NETDEV_UNREGISTER
isotp_release() looked up the bound network device via dev_get_by_index()
using the stored ifindex. During device unregistration the device is
unlisted from the ifindex hash before the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier
chain runs, so a concurrent isotp_release() could find no device, skip
can_rx_unregister() entirely, and still proceed to free the socket.
Since isotp_release() had already removed itself from the isotp
notifier list at that point, isotp_notify() would never get a chance to
clean up either, leaving a stale CAN filter that keeps pointing at the
freed socket.

Fix this the same way raw.c already does: hold a tracked reference to
the bound net_device in the socket (so->dev/so->dev_tracker) from
bind() onward instead of re-resolving it from the ifindex, and
serialize bind()/release() with rtnl_lock() so that so->dev is always
consistent with what the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier sees. so->dev
stays valid regardless of ifindex-hash unlisting, and is only ever
cleared by whichever of isotp_release()/isotp_notify() gets there
first, so the filter is always removed exactly once.

isotp_bind() now rejects a (re)bind with -EAGAIN while so->[tx|rx].state
isn't ISOTP_IDLE yet, so a timer left running by a prior
NETDEV_UNREGISTER can't act on a newly bound so->ifindex. Both checks
share the same lock_sock() section, so there is no window in which a
concurrent isotp_notify() clearing so->bound could be missed.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
