commit c03d278fdf35e73dd0ec543b9b556876b9d9a8dc upstream.8c873e2199("netfilter: core: free hooks with call_rcu") removed synchronize_net() call when unregistering basechain hook, however, net_device removal event handler for the NFPROTO_NETDEV was not updated to wait for RCU grace period. Note that835b803377("netfilter: nf_tables_netdev: unregister hooks on net_device removal") does not remove basechain rules on device removal, I was hinted to remove rules on net_device removal later, see5ebe0b0eec("netfilter: nf_tables: destroy basechain and rules on netdevice removal"). Although NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is guaranteed to be handled after synchronize_net() call, this path needs to wait for rcu grace period via rcu callback to release basechain hooks if netns is alive because an ongoing netlink dump could be in progress (sockets hold a reference on the netns). Note that nf_tables_pre_exit_net() unregisters and releases basechain hooks but it is possible to see NETDEV_UNREGISTER at a later stage in the netns exit path, eg. veth peer device in another netns: cleanup_net() default_device_exit_batch() unregister_netdevice_many_notify() notifier_call_chain() nf_tables_netdev_event() __nft_release_basechain() In this particular case, same rule of thumb applies: if netns is alive, then wait for rcu grace period because netlink dump in the other netns could be in progress. Otherwise, if the other netns is going away then no netlink dump can be in progress and basechain hooks can be released inmediately. While at it, turn WARN_ON() into WARN_ON_ONCE() for the basechain validation, which should not ever happen.

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.
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.
