Subject: Oops in nf_nat_core.c:find_appropriate_src(), kernel 2.6.25.4
Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:43:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <484A9E75.8000601@redhat.com> (raw)

Reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315

In find_appropriate_src():

        hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(nat, n, &bysource[h], bysource) {
                ct = nat->ct;
                if (same_src(ct, tuple)) {

Dereference of ct in same_src() causes the oops. This only seems to
happen on heavily loaded firewall machines. Kernel 2.6.24.7 works.

The reporter identifies commit 4d354c5782dc352cec187845d17eedc2c2bfcf67
("[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: use RCU for bysource hash") as a possible cause
of the problem.
