When list->count is 0, the list is deleted by GC. But list->count is never reached 0. because Initial count value is 1 and it is increased when node is inserted. So that initial value of list->count should be 0. Originally GC always finds zero count list through deleting node and decreasing count. it has problem that it couldn't find lists that didn't insert nodes(by allocating problem, etc...). In order to solve this problem, GC routine also finds zero count list without deleting node. v2: - Use spin_lock_bh() in nf_conncount_add() (Pablo Neira Ayuso) - Add Third patch. v1: Initial patch Fixes: cb2b36f5a97d ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Switch to plain list") Signed-off-by: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c | 17 ++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c b/net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c index cb33709138df..b5dc749112a1 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c @@ -144,8 +144,10 @@ static bool conn_free(struct nf_conncount_list *list, list->count--; conn->dead = true; list_del_rcu(&conn->node); - if (list->count == 0) + if (list->count == 0) { + list->dead = true; free_entry = true; + } spin_unlock_bh(&list->list_lock); call_rcu(&conn->rcu_head, __conn_free); @@ -248,7 +250,7 @@ void nf_conncount_list_init(struct nf_conncount_list *list) { spin_lock_init(&list->list_lock); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&list->head); - list->count = 1; + list->count = 0; list->dead = false; } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nf_conncount_list_init); @@ -262,6 +264,7 @@ bool nf_conncount_gc_list(struct net *net, struct nf_conn *found_ct; unsigned int collected = 0; bool free_entry = false; + bool ret = false; list_for_each_entry_safe(conn, conn_n, &list->head, node) { found = find_or_evict(net, list, conn, &free_entry); @@ -291,7 +294,14 @@ bool nf_conncount_gc_list(struct net *net, if (collected > CONNCOUNT_GC_MAX_NODES) return false; } - return false; + + spin_lock_bh(&list->list_lock); + if (!list->count) { + list->dead = true; + ret = true; + } + spin_unlock_bh(&list->list_lock); + return ret; } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nf_conncount_gc_list); @@ -417,6 +427,7 @@ insert_tree(struct net *net, nf_conncount_list_init(&rbconn->list); list_add(&conn->node, &rbconn->list.head); count = 1; + rbconn->list.count = count; rb_link_node(&rbconn->node, parent, rbnode); rb_insert_color(&rbconn->node, root); -- 2.17.1
