Subject: [PATCH v4] ipvs: Defer ip_vs_ftp unregister during netns cleanup
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 01:57:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911175759.474-1-slavin452@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911144020.479-1-slavin452@gmail.com>
On the netns cleanup path, __ip_vs_ftp_exit() may unregister ip_vs_ftp
before connections with valid cp->app pointers are flushed, leading to a
use-after-free.
Fix this by introducing a global `exiting_module` flag, set to true in
ip_vs_ftp_exit() before unregistering the pernet subsystem. In
__ip_vs_ftp_exit(), skip ip_vs_ftp unregister if called during netns
cleanup (when module_removing is false) and defer it to
__ip_vs_cleanup_batch(), which unregisters all apps after all connections
are flushed. If called during module exit, unregister ip_vs_ftp
immediately.
Fixes: 61b1ab4583e2 ("IPVS: netns, add basic init per netns.")
