[ Upstream commitcf52572ebb] There are two problems with nft_compat since the netlink config plane uses a per-netns mutex: 1. Concurrent add/del accesses to the same list 2. accesses to a list element after it has been free'd already. This patch fixes the first problem. Freeing occurs from a work queue, after transaction mutexes have been released, i.e., it still possible for a new transaction (even from same net ns) to find the to-be-deleted expression in the list. The ->destroy functions are not allowed to have any such side effects, i.e. the list_del() in the destroy function is not allowed. This part of the problem is solved in the next patch. I tried to make this work by serializing list access via mutex and by moving list_del() to a deactivate callback, but Taehee spotted following race on this approach: NET #0 NET #1 >select_ops() ->init() ->select_ops() ->deactivate() ->destroy() nft_xt_put() kfree_rcu(xt, rcu_head); ->init() <-- use-after-free occurred. Unfortunately, we can't increment reference count in select_ops(), because we can't undo the refcount increase in case a different expression fails in the same batch. (The destroy hook will only be called in case the expression was initialized successfully).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
