Otherwise, a call to nf_log_unregister() will render loggers of other nf protocols unusable: iptables -A INPUT -j LOG modprobe nf_log_arp ; rmmod nf_log_arp iptables -A INPUT -j LOG iptables: No chain/target/match by that name Fixes: 30e0c6a6be ("netfilter: nf_log: prepare net namespace support for loggers") Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_log.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/net/netfilter/nf_log.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_log.c @@ -107,11 +107,15 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(nf_log_register); void nf_log_unregister(struct nf_logger *logger) { + const struct nf_logger *log; int i; mutex_lock(&nf_log_mutex); - for (i = 0; i < NFPROTO_NUMPROTO; i++) - RCU_INIT_POINTER(loggers[i][logger->type], NULL); + for (i = 0; i < NFPROTO_NUMPROTO; i++) { + log = nft_log_dereference(loggers[i][logger->type]); + if (log == logger) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(loggers[i][logger->type], NULL); + } mutex_unlock(&nf_log_mutex); synchronize_rcu(); } Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from fw@xxxxxxxxx are queue-4.2/netfilter-nfnetlink-work-around-wrong-endianess-in-res_id-field.patch queue-4.2/netfilter-nf_log-don-t-zap-all-loggers-on-unregister.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
