The registration of a protocol might fail, there were no checks
and all registrations were assumed to be correct. This lead to
NULL ptr dereferences when apps tried registering.

For example:

[ 1293.381182] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

I've removed this above from the patch. I prefer not to add confusing
information (this means you'll have to rebase, sorry).

Understood.

Applied. Thanks.

Thanks.

BTW, did you consider using an array for ipvs->ip_vs_proto_table?

I think a hash table for only 5 protocols is overkill. I know, we'll
consume more memory but lookups will definitely be faster, but it will
consume a bit more memory (the space-time tradeoff again).

That sounds reasonable to me.
