[PATCH 5.4 145/159] netfilter: nf_tables: fix GC transaction races with netns and netlink event exit path

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6a33d8b73dfac0a41f3877894b38082bd0c9a5bc upstream.

Netlink event path is missing a synchronization point with GC
transactions. Add GC sequence number update to netns release path and
netlink event path, any GC transaction losing race will be discarded.

Fixes: 5f68718b34a5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction API to avoid race with control plane")
