This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled phonet: Handle error of rtnl_register_module(). to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: phonet-handle-error-of-rtnl_register_module.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4b1bf8eeeb2d62394fb92d5ba71ddecd79bbc787 Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 8 11:47:37 2024 -0700 phonet: Handle error of rtnl_register_module(). [ Upstream commit b5e837c86041bef60f36cf9f20a641a30764379a ] Before commit addf9b90de22 ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers"), once the first rtnl_register_module() allocated rtnl_msg_handlers[PF_PHONET], the following calls never failed. However, after the commit, rtnl_register_module() could fail silently to allocate rtnl_msg_handlers[PF_PHONET][msgtype] and requires error handling for each call. Handling the error allows users to view a module as an all-or-nothing thing in terms of the rtnetlink functionality. This prevents syzkaller from reporting spurious errors from its tests, where OOM often occurs and module is automatically loaded. Let's use rtnl_register_many() to handle the errors easily.
