Subject: [PATCH] mpls: unregister sysctls before network device teardown
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 20:12:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007201237.171863-2-Jeremy.Jean@oss.cyber.gouv.fr> (raw)

On network namespace exit, loopback is freed before MPLS unregisters its
sysctls. A task can keep platform_labels open and write to it during exit.
The handler can then use the freed loopback device.

Unregister the sysctls in pre_exit.

Fixes: 7720c01f3f59 ("mpls: Add a sysctl to control the size of the mpls label table")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
