[ Upstream commit 3f3a390dbd59d236f62cff8e8b20355ef7069e3d ]
Smatch reports:
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:2167 nf_tables_expr_destroy()
error: dereferencing freed memory 'expr->ops'
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c
2162 static void nf_tables_expr_destroy(const struct nft_ctx *ctx,
2163 struct nft_expr *expr)
2164 {
2165 if (expr->ops->destroy)
2166 expr->ops->destroy(ctx, expr);
^^^^
--> 2167 module_put(expr->ops->type->owner);
^^^^^^^^^
2168 }
Smatch says there are three functions which free expr->ops.
Fixes: b8e204006340 ("netfilter: nft_compat: use .release_ops and remove list of extension")
