[ Upstream commit 12c44aba6618b7f6c437076e5722237190f6cd5f ]
Using standard integer type was fine while all operations on it were guarded by the nftnl subsys mutex.
This isn't true anymore: 1. transactions are guarded only by a pernet mutex, so concurrent rule manipulation in different netns is racy 2. the ->destroy hook runs from a work queue after the transaction mutex has been released already.
cpu0 cpu1 (net 1) cpu2 (net 2) kworker nft_compat->destroy nft_compat->init nft_compat->init if (--nft_xt->ref == 0) nft_xt->ref++ nft_xt->ref++
Switch to refcount_t. Doing this however only fixes a minor aspect, nft_compat also performs linked-list operations in an unsafe way.
This is addressed in the next two patches.
