From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 12c44aba6618b7f6c437076e5722237190f6cd5f ] Using standard integer type was fine while all operations on it were guarded by the nftnl subsys mutex. This isn't true anymore: 1. transactions are guarded only by a pernet mutex, so concurrent rule manipulation in different netns is racy 2. the ->destroy hook runs from a work queue after the transaction mutex has been released already. cpu0 cpu1 (net 1) cpu2 (net 2) kworker nft_compat->destroy nft_compat->init nft_compat->init if (--nft_xt->ref == 0) nft_xt->ref++ nft_xt->ref++ Switch to refcount_t. Doing this however only fixes a minor aspect, nft_compat also performs linked-list operations in an unsafe way. This is addressed in the next two patches. Fixes: f102d66b335a ("netfilter: nf_tables: use dedicated mutex to guard transactions") Fixes: 0935d5588400 ("netfilter: nf_tables: asynchronous release") Reported-by: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nft_compat.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nft_compat.c b/net/netfilter/nft_compat.c index 7334e0b80a5ef..acc85acad31bd 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nft_compat.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nft_compat.c @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ struct nft_xt { struct list_head head; struct nft_expr_ops ops; - unsigned int refcnt; + refcount_t refcnt; /* Unlike other expressions, ops doesn't have static storage duration. * nft core assumes they do.
