Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 01/14] rtnetlink: Lock sock_net(skb->sk) in rtnl_newlink().
Date: Fri,  3 Jul 2026 00:09:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703001009.1572444-2-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703001009.1572444-1-kuniyu@google.com>

There are a few cases where rtnl_net_lock() is not properly
held in rtnl_newlink().

When either of IFLA_NET_NS_PID / IFLA_NET_NS_FD / IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID
is specified but IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is not, sock_net(skb->sk) is used
as link_net in rtnl_newlink_link_net().

In addition, the do_setlink() path uses sock_net(skb->sk) and one
from the three netns attributes while rtnl_link_get_net_capable()
returns only one of four.

Let's add sock_net(skb->sk) to rtnl_nets in rtnl_newlink().
