From c13a84a830a208fb3443628773c8ca0557773cc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Michal=20Kube=C4=8Dek?= Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:17:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack: use RCU safe kfree for conntrack extensions Commit 68b80f11 (netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races) introduced RCU protection for freeing extension data when reallocation moves them to a new location. We need the same protection when freeing them in nf_ct_ext_free() in order to prevent a use-after-free by other threads referencing a NAT extension data via bysource list.
