nft_compat relies on xt_request_find_match to increment refcount of the module that provides the match/target. The (builtin) icmp matches did't set the module owner so it was possible to rmmod ip(6)tables while icmp extensions were still in use. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2: only touch icmp matches. I'll send a followup patch to reject standard target from nft_compat. net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c | 1 + net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c index ca0dad90803a..e77872c93c20 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c +++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c @@ -1898,6 +1898,7 @@ static struct xt_match ipt_builtin_mt[] __read_mostly = { .checkentry = icmp_checkentry, .proto = IPPROTO_ICMP, .family = NFPROTO_IPV4, + .me = THIS_MODULE, }, }; diff --git a/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c b/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c index 7eab959734bc..daf2e9e9193d 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c +++ b/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c @@ -1909,6 +1909,7 @@ static struct xt_match ip6t_builtin_mt[] __read_mostly = { .checkentry = icmp6_checkentry, .proto = IPPROTO_ICMPV6, .family = NFPROTO_IPV6, + .me = THIS_MODULE, }, }; -- 2.16.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
