Subject: [patch v2 01/11] netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_start

I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the
same time.

it's because netlink_dump use inet_diag_dump witch function
belongs to module inet_diag.

I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem.
We need add reference of the module witch the cb->dump belongs
to.

Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric and Steffen.

I should do return netlink_dump_done here.
I will reset this patchset.

I think you can call netlink_dump_done from af_netlink.c:

static int netlink_dump(struct sock *sk)
...
if (cb->done) {
cb->done(cb);
netlink_dump_done(...);
}

Thus, you don't need to change netlink_dump_control in every netlink
subsystem.

You can do something similar to:

9f00d97 netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create

by definiting netlink_dump_start as static inline and using
THIS_MODULE from there.

If I'm not missing anything, with those two changes, you will not need
to modify any caller and it will result one single patch.

because cb->done is called by netlink_sock_destruct too,it's very usefully
when userspace program only send dump request to kernel without reading
data from kernel.

You can see the patch [11/11], THIS_MODULE in infiniband/core/cma.c
means module rdma_cm,but we call netlink_dump_start in infiniband/core/netlink.c

we should make sure the cb.moudle point to the module which cb.dump belongs to.
we can call netlink_dump_start to set cb->dump everywhere, so I think we still
need to pass struct module to the netlink_callback.

thanks for your comments!

Then add that to netlink_sock_destruct as well. If possible, I prefer
if this remains in the netlink core to avoid leaking module refcount
if you forget to call netlink_dump_done.

You can still use __netlink_dump_start for that case, which allows you
to specify a custom struct module * parameter. But for most cases,
netlink_dump_start (which hides THIS_MODULE) should be fine.

I don't know how to deal with module_put in this way.
and I think my way is simple enough.

Great. Remove also netlink_dump_done and just use module_put instead
after cb->done. That new function you added is so small that there is
no way to justify its addition.

Not sure what problem with module_put you're refering to.

I think you can make this patchset way smaller with the change I'm
proposing.

I know,but I choose simple and directviewing, not smaller.
I think these two function will make people confuse.

Thanks!
