From 4c87158daeeff40e24f5c86a477761e5422867df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 00:45:32 +0300 Subject: netfilter: delete /proc THIS_MODULE references /proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years. Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba ("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where inode->i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for regular files: - if (de->proc_fops) - inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + if (de->proc_fops) { + if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) + inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops; + else + inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + } VFS stopped pinning module at this point. # ipvs Acked-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Acked-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- net/netfilter/x_tables.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'net/netfilter/x_tables.c') diff --git a/net/netfilter/x_tables.c b/net/netfilter/x_tables.c index 3c2548787d78..0b56bf05c169 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/x_tables.c +++ b/net/netfilter/x_tables.c @@ -1362,7 +1362,6 @@ static int xt_table_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) } static const struct file_operations xt_table_ops = { - .owner = THIS_MODULE, .open = xt_table_open, .read = seq_read, .llseek = seq_lseek, @@ -1498,7 +1497,6 @@ static int xt_match_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) } static const struct file_operations xt_match_ops = { - .owner = THIS_MODULE, .open = xt_match_open, .read = seq_read, .llseek = seq_lseek, @@ -1551,7 +1549,6 @@ static int xt_target_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) } static const struct file_operations xt_target_ops = { - .owner = THIS_MODULE, .open = xt_target_open, .read = seq_read, .llseek = seq_lseek, -- cgit v1.2.3
