6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a45e6889575c2067d3c0212b6bc1022891e65b91 upstream. Unlike early commit path stage which triggers a call to abort, an explicit release of the batch is required on abort, otherwise mutex is released and commit_list remains in place. Add WARN_ON_ONCE to ensure commit_list is empty from the abort path before releasing the mutex. After this patch, commit_list is always assumed to be empty before grabbing the mutex, therefore 03c1f1ef1584 ("netfilter: Cleanup nft_net->module_list from nf_tables_exit_net()") only needs to release the pending modules for registration.
