From 3b7dabf029478bb80507a6c4500ca94132a2bc0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liping Zhang Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2017 08:53:12 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: invoke synchronize_rcu after set the _hook_ to NULL Otherwise, another CPU may access the invalid pointer. For example: CPU0 CPU1 - rcu_read_lock(); - pfunc = _hook_; _hook_ = NULL; - mod unload - - pfunc(); // invalid, panic - rcu_read_unlock(); So we must call synchronize_rcu() to wait the rcu reader to finish. Also note, in nf_nat_snmp_basic_fini, synchronize_rcu() will be invoked by later nf_conntrack_helper_unregister, but I'm inclined to add a explicit synchronize_rcu after set the nf_nat_snmp_hook to NULL. Depend on such obscure assumptions is not a good idea. Last, in nfnetlink_cttimeout, we use kfree_rcu to free the time object, so in cttimeout_exit, invoking rcu_barrier() is not necessary at all, remove it too.
