Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 3/5] ipv4: fib: Free net->ipv4.{fib_table_hash,notifier_ops} without RTNL.
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:32:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612063225.455191-4-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612063225.455191-1-kuniyu@google.com>

We will call ip_fib_net_exit() from ->exit_rtnl().

However, some paths will still access net->ipv4.fib_table_hash
after ->exit_rtnl().

For example, fib_flush() is called from fib_disable_ip() for
NETDEV_UNREGISTER.

Let's move kfree(net->ipv4.fib_table_hash) and fib4_notifier_exit()
from ip_fib_net_exit() to its caller.
