rxrpc_destroy_all_connections() flushes rxrpc_workqueue and then immediately asserts that rxnet->conn_proc_list is empty. However, connection destruction is normally deferred to system_wq: the final-ACK timer is still pending when the last ref is dropped, so rxrpc_put_connection() schedules conn->destructor instead of running it inline. conn->proc_link is only removed by the deferred destructor (rxrpc_clean_up_connection()), which the flush_workqueue(rxrpc_workqueue) call does not cover - so the assertion can fire on a perfectly healthy intermediate state: rxrpc: Assertion failed kernel BUG at net/rxrpc/conn_object.c:488! Workqueue: netns cleanup_net The BUG kills the cleanup_net kworker mid-teardown, leaving the netns half-destroyed and potentially wedging later netns operations. This is easily reachable from an unprivileged userns+netns running loopback AF_RXRPC traffic. The existing wait_var_event() on nr_conns is exactly the right synchronization: nr_conns only reaches zero after every destructor and RCU free has completed, which implies proc_link has been removed from every connection. It is, however, placed *after* the assertion it is meant to make reliable. Move it between the service_conns leak check (whose outcome is already final once the reaper has been flushed) and the conn_proc_list assertion. This also silences the spurious "AF_RXRPC: Leaked peer" messages seen during netns teardown, which share the same root cause: peer references are dropped by the same deferred destructors. Found by the autokbug dynamic kernel fuzzer at Tencent Yunding Lab. Signed-off-by: Henry Martin <redacted> --- net/rxrpc/conn_object.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
