[PATCH 4.20 006/171] netfilter: nft_compat: destroy function must not have side effects

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 12 2019 - 13:12:01 EST


4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit b2e3d68d1251a051a620f9086e18f7ffa6833b5b ]

The nft_compat destroy function deletes the nft_xt object from a list.
This isn't allowed anymore. Destroy functions are called asynchronously,
i.e. next batch can find the object that has a pending ->destroy()
invocation:

cpu0 cpu1
worker
->destroy for_each_entry()
if (x == ...
return x->ops;
list_del(x)
kfree_rcu(x)
expr->ops->... // ops was free'd

To resolve this, the list_del needs to occur before the transaction
mutex gets released. nf_tables has a 'deactivate' hook for this
purpose, so use that to unlink the object from the list.

Fixes: 0935d5588400 ("netfilter: nf_tables: asynchronous release")
