This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_nat_masquerade: defer conntrack walk to work queue 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-defer-conntrack-walk-to-.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 e27e176259108c0c9f64de5cf7a05eb9128edfef Author: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 15 16:46:39 2021 +0200 netfilter: nf_nat_masquerade: defer conntrack walk to work queue [ Upstream commit 7970a19b71044bf4dc2c1becc200275bdf1884d4 ] The ipv4 and device notifiers are called with RTNL mutex held. The table walk can take some time, better not block other RTNL users. 'ip a' has been reported to block for up to 20 seconds when conntrack table has many entries and device down events are frequent (e.g., PPP).
