Phil Sutter fb1adb05ea netfilter: nf_tables: Add locking for NFT_MSG_GETOBJ_RESET requests
[ Upstream commit bd662c4218f9648e888bebde9468146965f3f8a0 ]

Objects' dump callbacks are not concurrency-safe per-se with reset bit
set. If two CPUs perform a reset at the same time, at least counter and
quota objects suffer from value underrun.

Prevent this by introducing dedicated locking callbacks for nfnetlink
and the asynchronous dump handling to serialize access.

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.
