5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 720344340fb9be2765bbaab7b292ece0a4570eae upstream.
Abort path is missing a synchronization point with GC transactions. Add
GC sequence number hence any GC transaction losing race will be
discarded.
Fixes: 5f68718b34a5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction API to avoid race with control plane")
