4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> commit b3e456fce9f51d6276e576d00271e2813c1b8b67 upstream. There is a race condition between clusterip_config_entry_put() and clusterip_config_init(), after we release the spinlock in clusterip_config_entry_put(), a new proc file with a same IP could be created immediately since it is already removed from the configs list, therefore it triggers this warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ proc_dir_entry 'ipt_CLUSTERIP/172.20.0.170' already registered WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4152 at fs/proc/generic.c:330 proc_register+0x2a4/0x370 fs/proc/generic.c:329 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ... As a quick fix, just move the proc_remove() inside the spinlock.
