KMSAN reports use of uninitialized memory in the case when |alen| is
smaller than sizeof(struct sockaddr_nl), and therefore |nladdr| isn't
fully copied from the userspace.

nlmsg_multicast() consumes always the skb, thus the original skb must be
freed only when this function is called with a clone.

<title>netlink: put module reference if dump start fails</title>

Before, if cb-&gt;start() failed, the module reference would never be put,
because cb-&gt;cb_running is intentionally false at this point. Users are
generally annoyed by this because they can no longer unload modules that
leak references. Also, it may be possible to tediously wrap a reference
counter back to zero, especially since module.c still uses atomic_inc
instead of refcount_inc.

This patch expands the error path to simply call module_put if
cb-&gt;start() fails.

Nowadays, nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH but this was not the
case when commit 134e63756d5f was pushed.
However, there was no reason to stop the loop if a netns does not have
listeners.
Returns -ESRCH only if there was no listeners in all netns.

To avoid having the same problem in the future, I didn't take the
assumption that nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH.

The BPF verifier conflict was some minor contextual issue.

The TUN conflict was less trivial.  Cong Wang fixed a memory leak of
tfile-&gt;tx_array in 'net'.  This is an skb_array.  But meanwhile in
net-next tun changed tfile-&gt;tx_arry into tfile-&gt;tx_ring which is a
ptr_ring.

Move up the extack reset/initialization in netlink_rcv_skb, so that
those 'goto ack' will not skip it. Otherwise, later on netlink_ack
may use the uninitialized extack and cause kernel crash.

The mini-qdisc bits were a little bit tricky, however.

/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
inode-&gt;i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
regular files:

	-               if (de-&gt;proc_fops)
	-                       inode-&gt;i_fop = de-&gt;proc_fops;
	+               if (de-&gt;proc_fops) {
	+                       if (S_ISREG(inode-&gt;i_mode))
	+                               inode-&gt;i_fop = &amp;proc_reg_file_ops;
	+                       else

	+               }

VFS stopped pinning module at this point.

syzbot triggered the WARN_ON in netlink_ack testing the bad_attr value.
The problem is that netlink_rcv_skb loops over the skb repeatedly invoking
the callback and without resetting the extack leaving potentially stale
data. Initializing each time through avoids the WARN_ON.
