When network namespace is destroyed, both clusterip_tg_destroy() and clusterip_net_exit() are called. and clusterip_net_exit() is called before clusterip_tg_destroy(). Hence cleanup check code in clusterip_net_exit() doesn't make sense. test commands: %ip netns add vm1 %ip netns exec vm1 bash %ip link set lo up %iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i lo -d 192.168.0.5 --dport 80 \ -j CLUSTERIP --new --hashmode sourceip \ --clustermac 01:00:5e:00:00:20 --total-nodes 2 --local-node 1 %exit %ip netns del vm1 splat looks like: [ 341.184508] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 87 at net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c:840 clusterip_net_exit+0x319/0x380 [ipt_CLUSTERIP] [ 341.184850] Modules linked in: ipt_CLUSTERIP nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_tcpudp iptable_filter bpfilter ip_tables x_tables [ 341.184850] CPU: 1 PID: 87 Comm: kworker/u4:2 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc5+ #16 [ 341.227509] Workqueue: netns cleanup_net [ 341.227509] RIP: 0010:clusterip_net_exit+0x319/0x380 [ipt_CLUSTERIP] [ 341.227509] Code: 0f 85 7f fe ff ff 48 c7 c2 80 64 2c c0 be a8 02 00 00 48 c7 c7 a0 63 2c c0 c6 05 18 6e 00 00 01 e8 bc 38 ff f5 e9 5b fe ff ff <0f> 0b e9 33 ff ff ff e8 4b 90 50 f6 e9 2d fe ff ff 48 89 df e8 de [ 341.227509] RSP: 0018:ffff88011086f408 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 341.227509] RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 1ffff1002210de85 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 341.227509] RDX: 1ffff1002210de85 RSI: ffff880110813be8 RDI: ffffed002210de58 [ 341.227509] RBP: ffff88011086f4d0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 341.227509] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 1ffff1002210de81 [ 341.227509] R13: ffff880110625a48 R14: ffff880114cec8c8 R15: 0000000000000014 [ 341.227509] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880116600000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 341.227509] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 341.227509] CR2: 00007f11fd38e000 CR3: 000000013ca16000 CR4: 00000000001006e0 [ 341.227509] Call Trace: [ 341.227509] ? __clusterip_config_find+0x460/0x460 [ipt_CLUSTERIP] [ 341.227509] ? default_device_exit+0x1ca/0x270 [ 341.227509] ? remove_proc_entry+0x1cd/0x390 [ 341.227509] ? dev_change_net_namespace+0xd00/0xd00 [ 341.227509] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x130/0x130 [ 341.227509] ops_exit_list.isra.10+0x94/0x140 [ 341.227509] cleanup_net+0x45b/0x900 [ ... ] v3: add Third patch. v2: - use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock() (Pablo Neira Ayuso) - add missing dev_mc_add() and dev_mc_del(). v1: Initial patch Fixes: 613d0776d3fe ("netfilter: exit_net cleanup check added") Signed-off-by: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c index e6147ecb006b..e734a57cd9f1 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c +++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c @@ -845,7 +845,6 @@ static void clusterip_net_exit(struct net *net) cn->procdir = NULL; #endif nf_unregister_net_hook(net, &cip_arp_ops); - WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&cn->configs)); } static struct pernet_operations clusterip_net_ops = { -- 2.17.1
