From 138437f591dd9a42d53c6fed1a3c85e02678851c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hangbin Liu Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2017 09:44:20 +0800 Subject: xfrm: move xfrm_garbage_collect out of xfrm_policy_flush Now we will force to do garbage collection if any policy removed in xfrm_policy_flush(). But during xfrm_net_exit(). We call flow_cache_fini() first and set set fc->percpu to NULL. Then after we call xfrm_policy_fini() -> frxm_policy_flush() -> flow_cache_flush(), we will get NULL pointer dereference when check percpu_empty. The code path looks like: flow_cache_fini() - fc->percpu = NULL xfrm_policy_fini() - xfrm_policy_flush() - xfrm_garbage_collect() - flow_cache_flush() - flow_cache_percpu_empty() - fcp = per_cpu_ptr(fc->percpu, cpu) To reproduce, just add ipsec in netns and then remove the netns. v2: As Xin Long suggested, since only two other places need to call it. move xfrm_garbage_collect() outside xfrm_policy_flush(). v3: Fix subject mismatch after v2 fix.
