Subject: [PATCH -stable,6.6 1/2] netfilter: nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 23:03:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318220305.224701-2-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250318220305.224701-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
commit fa23e0d4b756d25829e124d6b670a4c6bbd4bf7e upstream.
Sven Auhagen reports transaction failures with following error:
./main.nft:13:1-26: Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory
percpu: allocation failed, size=16 align=8 atomic=1, atomic alloc failed, no space left
This points to failing pcpu allocation with GFP_ATOMIC flag.
However, transactions happen from user context and are allowed to sleep.
One case where we can call into percpu allocator with GFP_ATOMIC is
nft_counter expression.
Normally this happens from control plane, so this could use GFP_KERNEL
instead. But one use case, element insertion from packet path,
needs to use GFP_ATOMIC allocations (nft_dynset expression).
At this time, .clone callbacks always use GFP_ATOMIC for this reason.
Add gfp_t argument to the .clone function and pass GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_ATOMIC flag depending on context, this allows all clone memory
allocations to sleep for the normal (transaction) case.
