The pre_exit will un-register the underlying hook and .exit will do the
table freeing. The netns core does an unconditional synchronize_rcu after
the pre_exit hooks insuring no packets are in flight that have picked up
the pointer before completing the un-register.

<title>treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'</title>

<id>a7f7f6248d9740d710fd6bd190293fe5e16410ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

<title>netfilter: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>6daf14140129d30207ed6a0a69851fa6a3636bda</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Lastly, fix checkpatch.pl warning
WARNING: __aligned(size) is preferred over __attribute__((aligned(size)))
in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Convert the various uses of fallthrough comments to fallthrough;

Done via script

And by hand:

net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c has a fallthrough comment outside of an #ifdef block
that causes gcc to emit a warning if converted in-place.

So move the new fallthrough; inside the containing #ifdef/#endif too.

"netfilter: arp_tables: init netns pointer in xt_tgchk_param struct")
fixed missing net initialization for arptables, but turns out it was
incomplete.  We can get a very similar struct net NULL deref during
error unwinding:

We get crash when the targets checkentry function tries to make
use of the network namespace pointer for arptables.

When the net pointer got added back in 2010, only ip/ip6/ebtables were
changed to initialize it, so arptables has this set to NULL.

This isn't a problem for normal arptables because no existing
arptables target has a checkentry function that makes use of par-&gt;net.

However, direct users of the setsockopt interface can provide any
target they want as long as its registered for ARP or UNPSEC protocols.

syzkaller managed to send a semi-valid arptables rule for RATEEST target
which is enough to trigger NULL deref:

This isn't a problem for normal arptables because no existing
arptables target has a checkentry function that makes use of par-&gt;net.

However, direct users of the setsockopt interface can provide any
target they want as long as its registered for ARP or UNPSEC protocols.

syzkaller managed to send a semi-valid arptables rule for RATEEST target
which is enough to trigger NULL deref:

kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
