[v2] Avoid calling WARN_ON() on allocation failure in cfg802154_switch_netns()

[PATCH net v2 0/3] Avoid calling WARN_ON() on allocation failure in cfg802154_switch_netns()

Posted by Ivan Abramov 1 day, 2 hours ago

This series was inspired by Syzkaller report on warning in
cfg802154_switch_netns().

This warning is caused by Syzkaller's fault injection, which causes
kstrdup() in device_rename() to fail, so device_rename() returns -ENOMEM.

Since practically such failure is not possible, avoid it, additionally
fixing similar pointless allocation-related warnings.

v2: Add tags to patch 2. Also make sure to commit against latest
netdev/net.

Ivan Abramov (3):
  ieee802154: Restore initial state on failed device_rename() in
    cfg802154_switch_netns()
  ieee802154: Avoid calling WARN_ON() on -ENOMEM in
    cfg802154_switch_netns()
  ieee802154: Remove WARN_ON() in cfg802154_pernet_exit()
