From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> We need to clear the IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE_BIT to indicate that the ct has been removed from nat_bysource table. But unfortunately, we use the non-atomic bit operation: "ct->status &= ~IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK". So there's a race condition that we may clear the _DYING_BIT set by another CPU unexpectedly. Since we don't care about the IPS_DST_NAT_DONE_BIT, so just using clear_bit to clear the IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE_BIT is enough. Also note, this is the last user which use the non-atomic bit operation to update the confirmed ct->status.
