When setting up an new dev_maps in __netif_set_xps_queue, we remove and free maps from unused CPUs/rx-queues near the end of the function; by calling remove_xps_queue. However it's possible those maps are also part of the old not-freed-yet dev_maps, which might be used concurrently. When that happens, a map can be freed while its corresponding entry in the old dev_maps table isn't NULLed, leading to: "BUG: KASAN: use-after-free" in different places. This fixes the map freeing logic for unused CPUs/rx-queues, to also NULL the map entries from the old dev_maps table. Signed-off-by: Antoine Tenart <atenart@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
