From b4597d5fd7d2f8cebfffd40dffb5e003cc78964c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 12:07:17 +0200 Subject: netfilter: x_tables: add and use xtables_unregister_table_exit Previous change added xtables_unregister_table_pre_exit to detach the table from the packetpath and to unlink it from the active table list. In case of rmmod, userspace that is doing set/getsockopt for this table will not be able to re-instantiate the table: 1. The larval table has been removed already 2. existing instantiated table is no longer on the xt pernet table list. This adds the second stage helper: unlink the table from the dying list, free the hook ops (if any) and do the audit notification. It replaces xt_unregister_table().
