Subject: [PATCH net v2] pfcp: fix socket lifetime on netdevice registration failure
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:52:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924055252.33488-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

pfcp_newlink() creates the UDP socket before register_netdevice().
If registration fails after pfcp_dev_init() succeeds, the core calls
pfcp_dev_uninit(), which releases the socket and clears pfcp->sk.
The newlink error path then releases it again, causing a NULL pointer
dereference. This was observed with failslab fault injection:

  FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.
  kobject: kobject_add_internal failed for pfcp0 (error: -12 parent: net)
  BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in udp_tunnel_sock_release+0x1c/0x50

Return from pfcp_del_sock() if pfcp->sk is NULL.

Changes:
v2:
  - Use a NULL check in pfcp_del_sock() as the minimal fix for net and
    stable. (Simon Horman.)
