Subject: [RFC PATCH v3] ipvs: Defer ip_vs_ftp unregister during netns cleanup
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 22:40:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911144020.479-1-slavin452@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250909212113.481-1-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 `module_removing` 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.")
