Subject: lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2024 22:52:24 +0200

Ben Greear reports following splat:
 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c:1114 module nf_nat func:nf_nat_register_fn has 256 allocated at module unload
 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 10421 at lib/alloc_tag.c:168 alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0
 Modules linked in: nf_nat(-) btrfs ufs qnx4 hfsplus hfs minix vfat msdos fat
...
 Hardware name: Default string Default string/SKYBAY, BIOS 5.12 08/04/2020
 RIP: 0010:alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0
  codetag_unload_module+0x19b/0x2a0
  ? codetag_load_module+0x80/0x80

nf_nat module exit calls kfree_rcu on those addresses, but the free
operation is likely still pending by the time alloc_tag checks for leaks.

Wait for outstanding kfree_rcu operations to complete before checking
resolves this warning.

Reproducer:
unshare -n iptables-nft -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp
grep nf_nat /proc/allocinfo # will list 4 allocations
rmmod nft_chain_nat
rmmod nf_nat                # will WARN.
