This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: add NFT_TRANS_PREPARE_ERROR to deal with bound set/chain to the 5.4-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_tables-add-nft_trans_prepare_error-to-deal-with-bound-set-chain.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From stable-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wed Jul 5 18:55:01 2023 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2023 18:54:20 +0200 Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: add NFT_TRANS_PREPARE_ERROR to deal with bound set/chain To: netfilter-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: sashal@xxxxxxxxxx, gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <20230705165423.50054-8-pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ 26b5a5712eb85e253724e56a54c17f8519bd8e4e ] Add a new state to deal with rule expressions deactivation from the newrule error path, otherwise the anonymous set remains in the list in inactive state for the next generation. Mark the set/chain transaction as unbound so the abort path releases this object, set it as inactive in the next generation so it is not reachable anymore from this transaction and reference counter is dropped.
