[PATCH 0/3] Avoid calling WARN_ON() on allocation failure in cfg802154_switch_netns()
From: Ivan Abramov
Date: Thu Mar 27 2025 - 21:09:10 EST
This series was inspired by Syzkaller report on warning in
cfg802154_switch_netns().

This warning is caused by Syzkaller's fault injection, which causes
kstrdup() in device_rename() to fail, so device_rename() returns -ENOMEM.
Since practically such failure is not possible, avoid it, additionally
fixing similar pointless allocation-related warnings.
Ivan Abramov (3):
ieee802154: Restore initial state on failed device_rename() in
cfg802154_switch_netns()
ieee802154: Avoid calling WARN_ON() on -ENOMEM in
cfg802154_switch_netns()
ieee802154: Remove WARN_ON() in cfg802154_pernet_exit()
