Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The existing attempt to resolve races between control plane and GC work is error prone, as reported by Bien Pham <phamnnb@sea.com>, some places forgot to call nft_set_elem_mark_busy(), leading to double-deactivation of elements. This series contains the following patches: 1) Do not skip expired elements during walk otherwise elements might never decrement the reference counter on data, leading to memleak. 2) Add a GC transaction API to replace the former attempt to deal with races between control plane and GC. GC worker sets on NFT_SET_ELEM_DEAD_BIT on elements and it creates a GC transaction to remove the expired elements, GC transaction could abort in case of interference with control plane and retried later (GC async). Set backends such as rbtree and pipapo also perform GC from control plane (GC sync), in such case, element deactivation and removal is safe because mutex is held then collected elements are released via call_rcu(). 3) Adapt existing set backends to use the GC transaction API. 4) Update rhash set backend to set on _DEAD bit to report deleted elements from datapath for GC. 5) Remove old GC batch API and the NFT_SET_ELEM_BUSY_BIT. * tag 'nf-23-08-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf: netfilter: nf_tables: remove busy mark and gc batch API netfilter: nft_set_hash: mark set element as dead when deleting from packet path netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction API to avoid race with control plane netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip expired elements during walk ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230810070830.24064-1-pablo@netfilter.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
