Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: fix possible bug_on with enable_hooks=1
Date: Thu, 4 May 2023 14:55:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230504125502.22512-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
I received a bug report (no reproducer so far) where we trip over
712 rcu_read_lock();
713 ct_hook = rcu_dereference(nf_ct_hook);
714 BUG_ON(ct_hook == NULL); // here
In nf_conntrack_destroy().
First turn this BUG_ON into a WARN. I think it was triggered
via enable_hooks=1 flag.
When this flag is turned on, the conntrack hooks are registered
before nf_ct_hook pointer gets assigned.
This opens a short window where packets enter the conntrack machinery,
can have skb->_nfct set up and a subsequent kfree_skb might occur
before nf_ct_hook is set.
Call nf_conntrack_init_end() to set nf_ct_hook before we register the
pernet ops.
Fixes: ba3fbe663635 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: provide modparam to always register conntrack hooks")
