sctp: sysctl: plpmtud_probe_interval: avoid using current->nsproxy
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-84590 Tested: compile only commit 6259d24 Author: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe@kernel.org> Date: Wed Jan 8 16:34:36 2025 +0100 sctp: sysctl: plpmtud_probe_interval: avoid using current->nsproxy As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net' structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons: - Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only from the opener's netns. - current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by syzbot [1] using acct(2). The 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of(). Note that table->data could also be used directly, as this is the only member needed from the 'net' structure, but that would increase the size of this fix, to use '*data' everywhere 'net->sctp.probe_interval' is used. Fixes: d1e462a ("sctp: add probe_interval in sysctl and sock/asoc/transport") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/67769ecb.050a0220.3a8527.003f.GAE@google.com [1] Suggested-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250108-net-sysctl-current-nsproxy-v1-8-5df34b2083e8@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lxin@redhat.com>
