Subject: [PATCH] [NETNS 1/4 net-2.6.25] Double free in netlink_release.
Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:53:13 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1200660796-22737-1-git-send-email-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4790A0E3.9080006@sw.ru>
Netlink protocol table is global for all namespaces. Some netlink protocols
have been virtualized, i.e. they have per/namespace netlink socket. This
difference can easily lead to double free if more than 1 namespace is
started. Count the number of kernel netlink sockets to track that this
table is not used any more.
