From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Imagine such situation, nf_conntrack_htable_size now is 4096, we are doing ctnl_untimeout, and iterate on 3000# bucket. Meanwhile, another user try to reduce hash size to 2048, then all nf_conn are removed to the new hashtable. When this hash resize operation finished, we still try to itreate ct begin from 3000# bucket, find nothing to do and just return. Then we may miss unlinking some timeout objects. And later we will end up with invalid references to timeout object that are already gone. So when we find that hash resize happened, try to unlink timeout objects from the 0# bucket again.
