syzbot reported use-after-free of net->ipv4.rules_ops. [0]
It can be reproduced with these commands:
while true; do
ip netns add ns1
ip -n ns1 link set dev lo up
ip -n ns1 address add 192.0.2.1/24 dev lo
ip -n ns1 link add name dummy1 up type dummy
ip -n ns1 address add 198.51.100.1/24 dev dummy1
ip -n ns1 rule add ipproto tcp sport 12345 table 12345
ip -n ns1 fou add port 5555 ipproto 47 local 192.0.2.1 peer 198.51.100.2 peer_port 54321
ip netns del ns1
done
The cited commit moved fib4_rules_exit() earlier to ->exit_rtnl(),
but the kernel socket destroyed in ->exit() could eventually reach
__fib_lookup().
I left fib4_rules_exit() in ->exit_rtnl() because fib4_rule_delete()
calls fib_unmerge(), which requires RTNL.
However, when ->delete() is called, ->configure() has already been
called, thus fib_unmerge() in ->delete() has no effect.
Let's remove fib_unmerge() in fib4_rule_delete() and move
fib4_rules_exit() to ->exit().
Many thanks to Ido Schimmel for providing the nice repro very quickly.
Note that we can make fib_rules_ops.delete() return void once
net-next opens.
