[ Upstream commit12c44aba66] Using standard integer type was fine while all operations on it were guarded by the nftnl subsys mutex. This isn't true anymore: 1. transactions are guarded only by a pernet mutex, so concurrent rule manipulation in different netns is racy 2. the ->destroy hook runs from a work queue after the transaction mutex has been released already. cpu0 cpu1 (net 1) cpu2 (net 2) kworker nft_compat->destroy nft_compat->init nft_compat->init if (--nft_xt->ref == 0) nft_xt->ref++ nft_xt->ref++ Switch to refcount_t. Doing this however only fixes a minor aspect, nft_compat also performs linked-list operations in an unsafe way. This is addressed in the next two patches.

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.
