In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: Handle error of rpc_proc_register() in nfs_net_init().
syzkaller reported a warning [0] triggered while destroying immature netns.
rpc_proc_register() was called in init_nfs_fs(), but its error has been ignored since at least the initial commit 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2").
Recently, commit d47151b79e32 ("nfs: expose /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs in net namespaces") converted the procfs to per-netns and made the problem more visible.
Even when rpc_proc_register() fails, nfs_net_init() could succeed, and thus nfs_net_exit() will be called while destroying the netns.
Then, remove_proc_entry() will be called for non-existing proc directory and trigger the warning below.
Let's handle the error of rpc_proc_register() properly in nfs_net_init().
