After this point the process to remove module can not be stopped and try_module_get() will fail in atomic_inc_not_zero. - step 2: there is very small gap this step to occur: commands are still registered and they should abort if try_module_get() fails. This is what we see with WARN and oopses: ip_vs_use_count_inc can not increment refcnt and we later fail in following ip_vs_use_count_dec. Commands that add resources still do not need _inc + _dec but those that increment module refcnt need the _inc check. - step 3: ip_vs_unregister_nl_ioctl unregisters command handlers. After this step commands are not running. - step 4: release all module resources added up to step 2. On module removal we do not expect to see stop_sync_thread() stopping any running threads. The module can not be removed while sync is running. > using the reproducer below, I still see the splat in module_put(), but > it's preceded by a failure in ip_vs_use_count_inc(), which accidentally

Yes, every place that increments refcnt would need early ip_vs_use_count_inc() call with result check. Then check in do_ip_vs_set_ctl() would not be needed, any resources we modify would be released after the ip_vs_unregister_nl_ioctl call. For the other files, check is needed in register_ip_vs_pe() and register_ip_vs_scheduler(), register_ip_vs_app() should _inc+check and _dec on failure. Regards -- Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>
