With CONFIG_NET_NS enabled, it crashes for me in read_pnet() because sk is NULL. > if (!sk) > sk = nf_sk_lookup_slow_v4(xt_net(par), skb, xt_in(par)); The old code seems to suggest that sk == NULL was possible. I see the problem with the Chrome OS kernel rebased to v4.19-rc5, so I can not guarantee that this really an upstream problem. The change seems odd, though. Are you sure that it is not (or, rather, no longer) necessary to check if sk == NULL before dereferencing it in sock_net() ? > + > if (sk) { > bool wildcard; > bool transparent = true; > @@ -113,8 +117,12 @@ socket_mt6_v1_v2_v3(const struct sk_buff *skb, struct xt_action_param *par) > struct sk_buff *pskb = (struct sk_buff *)skb; > struct sock *sk = skb->sk; > > + if (!net_eq(xt_net(par), sock_net(sk))) > + sk = NULL; > + Same here. > if (!sk) > sk = nf_sk_lookup_slow_v6(xt_net(par), skb, xt_in(par)); > + > if (sk) { > bool wildcard; > bool transparent = true; Thanks, Guenter
