Subject: [patch 02/12] binfmt_misc: fix crash when load/unload module
Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:40:55 -0800	[thread overview]

Subject: binfmt_misc: fix crash when load/unload module

We should unregister the table upon module unload otherwise something
horrible will happen when we load binfmt_misc module again.  Also note
that we should keep value returned by register_sysctl_mount_point() and
release it later, otherwise it will leak.

Also, per Christian's comment, to fully restore the old behavior that
won't break userspace the check(binfmt_misc_header) should be eliminated.

reproduce:
modprobe binfmt_misc
modprobe -r binfmt_misc
modprobe binfmt_misc
modprobe -r binfmt_misc
modprobe binfmt_misc
