Linux kernel source tree
Syzbot reported a use-after-free of the global vlan context on port vlan
destruction. When I added per-port vlan stats I missed the fact that the
global vlan context can be freed before the per-port vlan rcu callback.
There're a few different ways to deal with this, I've chosen to add a
new private flag that is set only when per-port stats are allocated so
we can directly check it on destruction without dereferencing the global
context at all. The new field in net_bridge_vlan uses a hole.
v2: cosmetic change, move the check to br_process_vlan_info where the
other checks are done
v3: add change log in the patch, add private (in-kernel only) flags in a
hole in net_bridge_vlan struct and use that instead of mixing
user-space flags with private flags

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.
