netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.
