Commit6d0bfe2261("net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.") contains an error in the cleanup path of inet6_init(): when proto_register(&pingv6_prot, 1) fails, we try to unregister &pingv6_prot. When rawv6_init() fails, we skip unregistering &pingv6_prot. Example of panic (triggered by faking a failure of proto_register(&pingv6_prot, 1)): general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [...] RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x79/0x160 [...] Call Trace: proto_unregister+0xbb/0x550 ? trace_preempt_on+0x6f0/0x6f0 ? sock_no_shutdown+0x10/0x10 inet6_init+0x153/0x1b8 Fixes:6d0bfe2261("net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
