Subject: tun: don't zeroize sock->file on detach
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=66d1b9263a371abd15806c53f486f0645ef31a8f;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

tun: don't zeroize sock->file on detach

This is a fix for bug, introduced in 3.4 kernel by commit
1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3d ("tun: don't hold network
namespace by tun sockets"), which, among other things, replaced simple
sock_put() by sk_release_kernel(). Below is sequence, which leads to
oops for non-persistent devices:

tun_chr_close()
tun_detach()				<== tun->socket.file = NULL
tun_free_netdev()
sk_release_sock()
sock_release(sock->file == NULL)
iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))			<== dereference on NULL pointer

This patch just removes zeroing of socket's file from __tun_detach().
sock_release() will do this.
