masquerade modules register notifier and that should not be double-registered. so that these modules manage reference counter. If already notifiers are registered, it just return success. But there is unsafe scenario. test commands: while : do modprobe ip6t_MASQUERADE & modprobe nft_masq_ipv6 & modprobe -rv ip6t_MASQUERADE & modprobe -rv nft_masq_ipv6 & done numbers are reference count. -------------------------------------------------------- CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 [insmod] [insmod] [rmmod] [rmmod] [insmod] -------------------------------------------------------- 0->1 register 1->2 returns 2->1 returns 1->0 0->1 register <-- unregister -------------------------------------------------------- The unregistation of CPU3 should be processed before the registration of CPU4. In order to fix this, mutex can be used. So that this patch uses it. splat looks like: [ 323.869557] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!
