Subject: netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: skip sync GC for new elements in this transaction
To: netfilter-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cc: gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, sashal@xxxxxxxxxx, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Message-ID: <20231121121333.294238-18-pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2ee52ae94baabf7ee09cf2a8d854b990dac5d0e4 upstream.
New elements in this transaction might expired before such transaction
ends. Skip sync GC for such elements otherwise commit path might walk
over an already released object. Once transaction is finished, async GC
will collect such expired element.
Fixes: f6c383b8c31a ("netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API")
