From: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx> During the initialization of ip_vs_app_net_init(), if file ip_vs_app fails to be created, the initialization is successful by default. Therefore, the ip_vs_app file doesn't be found during the remove in ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(). It will cause WRNING. The following is the stack information: name 'ip_vs_app' WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 9 at fs/proc/generic.c:712 remove_proc_entry+0x389/0x460 Modules linked in: Workqueue: netns cleanup_net RIP: 0010:remove_proc_entry+0x389/0x460 Call Trace: <TASK> ops_exit_list+0x125/0x170 cleanup_net+0x4ea/0xb00 process_one_work+0x9bf/0x1710 worker_thread+0x665/0x1080 kthread+0x2e4/0x3a0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 </TASK> Fixes: 457c4cbc5a3d ("[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace") Signed-off-by: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c index f9b16f2b2219..fdacbc3c15be 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c +++ b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c @@ -599,13 +599,19 @@ static const struct seq_operations ip_vs_app_seq_ops = { int __net_init ip_vs_app_net_init(struct netns_ipvs *ipvs) { INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ipvs->app_list); - proc_create_net("ip_vs_app", 0, ipvs->net->proc_net, &ip_vs_app_seq_ops, - sizeof(struct seq_net_private)); +#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS + if (!proc_create_net("ip_vs_app", 0, ipvs->net->proc_net, + &ip_vs_app_seq_ops, + sizeof(struct seq_net_private))) + return -ENOMEM; +#endif return 0; } void __net_exit ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(struct netns_ipvs *ipvs) { unregister_ip_vs_app(ipvs, NULL /* all */); +#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS remove_proc_entry("ip_vs_app", ipvs->net->proc_net); +#endif } -- 2.30.2
