Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/ipoib: Fix warning caused by destroying non-initial netns After the commit 5ce2dced8e95 ("RDMA/ipoib: Set rtnl_link_ops for ipoib interfaces"), if the IPoIB device is moved to non-initial netns, destroying that netns lets the device vanish instead of moving it back to the initial netns, This is happening because default_device_exit() skips the interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set. Steps to reporoduce: ip netns add foo ip link set mlx5_ib0 netns foo ip netns delete foo WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 704 at net/core/dev.c:11435 netdev_exit+0x3f/0x50 Modules linked in: xt_CHECKSUM xt_MASQUERADE xt_conntrack ipt_REJECT nf_reject_ipv4 nft_compat nft_counter nft_chain_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_tables nfnetlink tun d fuse CPU: 1 PID: 704 Comm: kworker/u64:3 Tainted: G S W 5.13.0-rc1+ #1 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
