Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: Ensure nf_ct_put is not called with null pointer
Date: Sat,  9 Apr 2022 05:40:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220409094036.20051-1-mark.mielke@gmail.com> (raw)

A recent commit replaced calls to nf_conntrack_put() with calls
to nf_ct_put(). nf_conntrack_put() permitted the caller to pass
null without side effects, while nf_ct_put() performs WARN_ON()
and proceeds to try and de-reference the pointer. ovs-vswitchd
triggers the warning on startup:

[   22.178881] WARNING: CPU: 69 PID: 2157 at include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.h:176 __ovs_ct_lookup+0x4e2/0x6a0 [openvswitch]
...
[   22.213573] Call Trace:
[   22.214318]  <TASK>
[   22.215064]  ovs_ct_execute+0x49c/0x7f0 [openvswitch]
...

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 408bdcfce8df ("net: prefer nf_ct_put instead of nf_conntrack_put")
