In our project it is possible that config files for activator connections may change so activator connections may disappear or appear again. > > @@ -255,6 +255,8 @@ void kdbus_name_remove_by_conn(struct > > kdbus_name_registry *reg, > > kdbus_name_queue_item_free(q); > > list_for_each_entry_safe(e, e_tmp, &names_list, conn_entry) > > kdbus_name_entry_release(e, ¬ify_list); > > + if (conn->flags & KDBUS_HELLO_ACTIVATOR) > > + conn->activator_of->activator = kdbus_conn_unref(conn); > > mutex_unlock(®->entries_lock); > > mutex_unlock(&conn->bus->lock); > > Hmm, we have the information if the connection that is disconnecting is > the activator of a name entry.

If regular connection takes over the name than kdbus_name_replace_owner calls kdbus_name_entry_remove_owner which removes e->conn_entry from the names list of the activator connection, which you wanted to use. If activator connection has closed than, there is stil e->activator pointer to this non existing connection which is bug by itself and new activator connection cannot acquire that name. Without our patch there is no link between the activator connection and name_entry.
