Subject: [PATCH nf-next 3/4] netfilter: nf_queue: do not release refcouts until nf_reinject is done
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2020 03:24:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200327022449.7411-4-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200327022449.7411-1-fw@strlen.de>

nf_queue is problematic when another NF_QUEUE invocation happens
from nf_reinject().

1. nf_queue is invoked, increments state->sk refcount.
2. skb is queued, waiting for verdict.
3. sk is closed/released.
3. verdict comes back, nf_reinject is called.
4. nf_reinject drops the reference -- refcount can now drop to 0

Instead of get_ref/release_ref pattern, we need to nest the get_ref calls:
    get_ref
       get_ref
       release_ref
     release_ref

So that when we invoke the next processing stage (another netfilter
or the okfn()), we hold at least one reference count on the
devices/socket.

After previous patch, it is now safe to put the entry even after okfn()
has potentially free'd the skb.
