This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_nat_masquerade: make async masq_inet6_event handling generic to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netfilter-nf_nat_masquerade-make-async-masq_inet6_ev.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ace8a12c3a341a4ab34cc9bfe6565355558ad1b0 Author: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 15 16:46:38 2021 +0200 netfilter: nf_nat_masquerade: make async masq_inet6_event handling generic [ Upstream commit 30db406923b9285a9bac06a6af5e74bd6d0f1d06 ] masq_inet6_event is called asynchronously from system work queue, because the inet6 notifier is atomic and nf_iterate_cleanup can sleep. The ipv4 and device notifiers call nf_iterate_cleanup directly. This is legal, but these notifiers are called with RTNL mutex held. A large conntrack table with many devices coming and going will have severe impact on the system usability, with 'ip a' blocking for several seconds. This change places the defer code into a helper and makes it more generic so ipv4 and ifdown notifiers can be converted to defer the cleanup walk as well in a follow patch.
