binfmt_misc: fix crash when load/unload module
We should unregister the table upon module unload otherwise something horrible will happen when we load binfmt_misc module again. Also note that we should keep value returned by register_sysctl_mount_point() and release it later, otherwise it will leak. Also, per Christian's comment, to fully restore the old behavior that won't break userspace the check(binfmt_misc_header) should be eliminated. To reproduce: modprobe binfmt_misc modprobe -r binfmt_misc modprobe binfmt_misc modprobe -r binfmt_misc modprobe binfmt_misc resulting in modprobe: can't load module binfmt_misc (kernel/fs/binfmt_misc.ko): Cannot allocate memory and an unhappy kernel: binfmt_misc: Failed to create fs/binfmt_misc sysctl mount point binfmt_misc: Failed to create fs/binfmt_misc sysctl mount point BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff8004802 Call Trace: init_misc_binfmt+0x2d/0x1000 [binfmt_misc] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220124181812.1869535-2-ztong0001@gmail.com Fixes: 3ba442d5331f ("fs: move binfmt_misc sysctl to its own file") Signed-off-by: Tong Zhang <ztong0001@gmail.com> Co-developed-by: Christian Brauner<brauner@kernel.org> Acked-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Iurii Zaikin <yzaikin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
