[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 48/56] netfilter: nf_tables: store transaction list locally while requesting module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ec7470b834fe7b5d7eff11b6677f5d7fdf5e9a91 ]

This patch fixes a WARN_ON in nft_set_destroy() due to missing
set reference count drop from the preparation phase. This is triggered
by the module autoload path. Do not exercise the abort path from
nft_request_module() while preparation phase cleaning up is still
pending.
