netfilter: delete /proc THIS_MODULE references
/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years. Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e16 ("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where inode->i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for regular files: - if (de->proc_fops) - inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + if (de->proc_fops) { + if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) + inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops; + else + inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + } VFS stopped pinning module at this point. # ipvs Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms+renesas@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
