[ Upstream commit 40781bfb836eda57d19c0baa37c7e72590e05fdc ] When IPv6 module initializing in xfrm6_init(), register_pernet_subsys() is possible to fail but its return value is ignored. If IPv6 initialization fails later and xfrm6_fini() is called, removing uninitialized list in xfrm6_net_ops will cause null-ptr-deref: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f] CPU: 1 PID: 330 Comm: insmod RIP: 0010:unregister_pernet_operations+0xc9/0x450 Call Trace: <TASK> unregister_pernet_subsys+0x31/0x3e xfrm6_fini+0x16/0x30 [ipv6] ip6_route_init+0xcd/0x128 [ipv6] inet6_init+0x29c/0x602 [ipv6] ... Fix it by catching the error return value of register_pernet_subsys().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
