After running the following commands for a while, kmemleak reported that "1879 new suspected memory leaks" happened: # while : ; do ip netns add test ip netns delete test done unreferenced object 0xffff88006342fa38 (size 1024): comm "ip", pid 15477, jiffies 4295982857 (age 957.836s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): b8 b0 4d a0 ff ff ff ff c0 34 c3 59 00 88 ff ff ..M......4.Y.... 04 00 00 00 a4 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff8190510a>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 [<ffffffff81284130>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x150/0x300 [<ffffffff812302d0>] kmemdup+0x20/0x50 [<ffffffffa04d598a>] dccp_init_net+0x8a/0x160 [nf_conntrack] [<ffffffffa04cf9f5>] nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_register_one+0x25/0x90 ... unreferenced object 0xffff88006342da58 (size 1024): comm "ip", pid 15477, jiffies 4295982857 (age 957.836s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 10 b3 4d a0 ff ff ff ff 04 35 c3 59 00 88 ff ff ..M......5.Y.... 04 00 00 00 a4 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff8190510a>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 [<ffffffff81284130>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x150/0x300 [<ffffffff812302d0>] kmemdup+0x20/0x50 [<ffffffffa04d6a9d>] sctp_init_net+0x5d/0x130 [nf_conntrack] [<ffffffffa04cf9f5>] nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_register_one+0x25/0x90 ... This is because we forgot to implement the get_net_proto for sctp and dccp, so we won't invoke the nf_ct_unregister_sysctl to free the ctl_table when do netns cleanup. Also note, we will fail to register the sysctl for dccp/sctp either due to the lack of get_net_proto. Fixes: |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
