They are currently invisible to\nthe nfnl hook dump subsystem though.\n\nBut once that changes the nat ops structures have to be deferred too.\"\n\nUpdate nf_nat_register_fn() to deal with partial exposition of the hooks\nfrom error path which can be also an issue for nfnetlink_hook.\n\nFixes: e2cf17d3774c (\"netfilter: add new hook nfnl subsystem\")\nSigned-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>\n---\n net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.c | 2 +-\n net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6table_nat.c | 2 +-\n net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c | 10 ++++++----\n 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)", "diff": "diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.c\nindex a5db7c67d61b..3b1de7f82bf8 100644\n--- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.c\n+++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.c\n@@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ static void ipt_nat_unregister_lookups(struct net *net)\n \tfor (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(nf_nat_ipv4_ops); i++)\n \t\tnf_nat_ipv4_unregister_fn(net, &ops[i]);\n \n-\tkfree(ops);\n+\tkfree_rcu(ops, rcu);\n }\n \n static int iptable_nat_table_init(struct net *net)\ndiff --git a/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6table_nat.c b/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6table_nat.c\nindex e119d4f090cc..9adfbfeaab0c 100644\n--- a/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6table_nat.c\n+++ b/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6table_nat.c\n@@ -102,7 +102,7 @@ static void ip6t_nat_unregister_lookups(struct net *net)\n \tfor (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(nf_nat_ipv6_ops); i++)\n \t\tnf_nat_ipv6_unregister_fn(net, &ops[i]);\n \n-\tkfree(ops);\n+\tkfree_rcu(ops, rcu);\n }\n \n static int ip6table_nat_table_init(struct net *net)\ndiff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c b/net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c\nindex 3b5434e4ec9c..b30ca94c2bb7 100644\n--- a/net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c\n+++ b/net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c\n@@ -1228,9 +1228,11 @@ int nf_nat_register_fn(struct net *net, u8 pf, const struct nf_hook_ops *ops,\n \t\tret = nf_register_net_hooks(net, nat_ops, ops_count);\n \t\tif (ret < 0) {\n \t\t\tmutex_unlock(&nf_nat_proto_mutex);\n-\t\t\tfor (i = 0; i < ops_count; i++)\n-\t\t\t\tkfree(nat_ops[i].priv);\n-\t\t\tkfree(nat_ops);\n+\t\t\tfor (i = 0; i < ops_count; i++) {\n+\t\t\t\tpriv = nat_ops[i].priv;\n+\t\t\t\tkfree_rcu(priv, rcu_head);\n+\t\t\t}\n+\t\t\tkfree_rcu(nat_ops, rcu);\n \t\t\treturn ret;\n \t\t}\n \n@@ -1294,7 +1296,7 @@ void nf_nat_unregister_fn(struct net *net, u8 pf, const struct nf_hook_ops *ops,\n \t\t}\n \n \t\tnat_proto_net->nat_hook_ops = NULL;\n-\t\tkfree(nat_ops);\n+\t\tkfree_rcu(nat_ops, rcu);\n \t}\n unlock:\n \tmutex_unlock(&nf_nat_proto_mutex);\n", "prefixes": [ "net", "09/14" ] }
