From 66d1b9263a371abd15806c53f486f0645ef31a8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislav Kinsbursky Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 02:50:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
