From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d5494acb88aa9dd1325079c9b8855008a52c19b3 ] Now dccp_ipv4 works as a kernel module. During loading this module, if one dccp packet is being recieved after inet_add_protocol but before register_pernet_subsys in which v4_ctl_sk is initialized, a null pointer dereference may be triggered because of init_net.dccp.v4_ctl_sk is 0x0. Jianlin found this issue when the following call trace occurred: [ 171.950177] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000110 [ 171.951007] IP: [<ffffffffc0558364>] dccp_v4_ctl_send_reset+0xc4/0x220 [dccp_ipv4] [...] [ 171.984629] Call Trace: [ 171.984859] <IRQ> [ 171.985061] [ 171.985213] [<ffffffffc0559a53>] dccp_v4_rcv+0x383/0x3f9 [dccp_ipv4] [ 171.985711] [<ffffffff815ca054>] ip_local_deliver_finish+0xb4/0x1f0 [ 171.986309] [<ffffffff815ca339>] ip_local_deliver+0x59/0xd0 [ 171.986852] [<ffffffff810cd7a4>] ? update_curr+0x104/0x190 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff815c9cda>] ip_rcv_finish+0x8a/0x350 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff815ca666>] ip_rcv+0x2b6/0x410 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff810c83b4>] ? task_cputime+0x44/0x80 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff81586f22>] __netif_receive_skb_core+0x572/0x7c0 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff810d2c51>] ? trigger_load_balance+0x61/0x1e0 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff81587188>] __netif_receive_skb+0x18/0x60 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff8158841e>] process_backlog+0xae/0x180 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff8158799d>] net_rx_action+0x16d/0x380 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff81090b7f>] __do_softirq+0xef/0x280 [ 171.986956] [<ffffffff816b6a1c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 This patch is to move inet_add_protocol after register_pernet_subsys in dccp_v4_init, so that v4_ctl_sk is initialized before any incoming dccp packets are processed.
