Fix net reference counting in fl_change() and remove redundant call to tcf_exts_get_net() from __fl_delete(). __fl_put() already tries to get net before releasing exts and deallocating a filter, so this code caused flower classifier to obtain net twice per filter that is being deleted. Implementation of __fl_delete() called tcf_exts_get_net() to pass its result as 'async' flag to fl_mask_put(). However, 'async' flag is redundant and only complicates fl_mask_put() implementation. This functionality seems to be copied from filter cleanup code, where it was added by Cong with following explanation: This patchset tries to fix the race between call_rcu() and cleanup_net() again. Without holding the netns refcnt the tc_action_net_exit() in netns workqueue could be called before filter destroy works in tc filter workqueue. This patchset moves the netns refcnt from tc actions to tcf_exts, without breaking per-netns tc actions. This doesn't apply to flower mask, which doesn't call any tc action code during cleanup. Simplify fl_mask_put() by removing the flag parameter and always use tcf_queue_work() to free mask objects. Fixes: |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
