From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> syzbot reported following crash: list_del corruption, ffff88808c9bb000->prev is LIST_POISON2 (dead000000000122) [..] Call Trace: __list_del_entry include/linux/list.h:131 [inline] list_del_rcu include/linux/rculist.h:148 [inline] nf_tables_commit+0x1068/0x3b30 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:7183 [..] The commit transaction list has: NFT_MSG_NEWTABLE NFT_MSG_NEWFLOWTABLE NFT_MSG_DELFLOWTABLE NFT_MSG_DELTABLE A missing generation check during DELTABLE processing causes it to queue the DELFLOWTABLE operation a second time, so we corrupt the list here: case NFT_MSG_DELFLOWTABLE: list_del_rcu(&nft_trans_flowtable(trans)->list); nf_tables_flowtable_notify(&trans->ctx, because we have two different DELFLOWTABLE transactions for the same flowtable. We then call list_del_rcu() twice for the same flowtable->list. The object handling seems to suffer from the same bug so add a generation check too and only queue delete transactions for flowtables/objects that are still active in the next generation.
