Subject: [PATCH net-next 03/11] netfilter: nf_conncount: callers must hold rcu read lock
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 13:45:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614114605.474783-4-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614114605.474783-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

rcu_derefence_raw() should not have been used here, it concealed this bug.
Its used because struct rb_node lacks __rcu annotated pointers, so plain
rcu_derefence causes sparse warnings.

The major tradeoff is that rcu_derefence_raw() doesn't warn when the caller
isn't in a rcu read section.

Extend the rcu read lock scope accordingly and cause sparse warnings,
those warnings are the lesser evil.

Fixes: 11efd5cb04a1 ("openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260603230610.7900-1-fw%40strlen.de
