Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sysctl-test: Unregister sysctl table after test completion
Date: Wed, 21 May 2025 18:32:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522013211.3341273-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)

One of the sysctl tests registers a valid sysctl table. This operation
is expected to succeed. However, it does not unregister the table after
executing the test. If the code is built as module and the module is
unloaded after the test, the next operation trying to access the table
(such as 'sysctl -a') will trigger a crash.

Unregister the registered table after test completiion to solve the
problem.

Fixes: b5ffbd139688 ("sysctl: move the extra1/2 boundary check of u8 to sysctl_check_table_array")
