netfilter: ctnetlink: netns exit must wait for callbacks
Curtis Taylor and Jon Maxwell reported and debugged a crash on 3.10
based kernel.
Crash occurs in ctnetlink_conntrack_events because net->nfnl socket is
NULL. The nfnl socket was set to NULL by netns destruction running on
another cpu.
The exiting network namespace calls the relevant destructors in the
following order:
1. ctnetlink_net_exit_batch
This nulls out the event callback pointer in struct netns.
2. nfnetlink_net_exit_batch
This nulls net->nfnl socket and frees it.
3. nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list
This removes all remaining conntrack entries.
This is order is correct. The only explanation for the crash so ar is:
cpu1: conntrack is dying, eviction occurs:
-> nf_ct_delete()
-> nf_conntrack_event_report \
-> nf_conntrack_eventmask_report
-> notify->fcn() (== ctnetlink_conntrack_events).
cpu1: a. fetches rcu protected pointer to obtain ctnetlink event callback.
b. gets interrupted.
cpu2: runs netns exit handlers:
a runs ctnetlink destructor, event cb pointer set to NULL.
b runs nfnetlink destructor, nfnl socket is closed and set to NULL.
cpu1: c. resumes and trips over NULL net->nfnl.
Problem appears to be that ctnetlink_net_exit_batch only prevents future
callers of nf_conntrack_eventmask_report() from obtaining the callback.
It doesn't wait of other cpus that might have already obtained the
callbacks address.
I don't see anything in upstream kernels that would prevent similar
crash: We need to wait for all cpus to have exited the event callback.
