The xtables packet traverser performs an unconditional local_bh_disable(),
but the nf_tables evaluation loop does not.

Functions that are called from either xtables or nftables must assume
that they can be called in process context.

inet_twsk_deschedule_put() assumes that no softirq interrupt can occur.
If tproxy is used from nf_tables its possible that we'll deadlock
trying to aquire a lock already held in process context.

Add a small helper that takes care of this and use it.

Here is the stack where we allocate percpu counter block:

  +-&lt; __alloc_percpu
    +-&lt; xt_percpu_counter_alloc
      +-&lt; find_check_entry # {arp,ip,ip6}_tables.c
        +-&lt; translate_table

And it can be leaked on this code path:

  +-&gt; ip6t_register_table
    +-&gt; translate_table # allocates percpu counter block
    +-&gt; xt_register_table # fails

there is no freeing of the counter block on xt_register_table fail.
Note: xt_percpu_counter_free should be called to free it like we do in
do_replace through cleanup_entry helper (or in __ip6t_unregister_table).

Probability of hitting this error path is low AFAICS (xt_register_table
can only return ENOMEM here, as it is not replacing anything, as we are
creating new netns, and it is hard to imagine that all previous
allocations succeeded and after that one in xt_register_table failed).
But it's worth fixing even the rare leak.

We are not allowed to return an error at this point.
Looking at the code it looks like ret is always 0 at this
point, but its not.

t = find_table_lock(net, repl-&gt;name, &amp;ret, &amp;ebt_mutex);

... this can return a valid table, with ret != 0.

This bug causes update of table-&gt;private with the new
blob, but then frees the blob right away in the caller.

Syzbot report:

BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __ebt_unregister_table+0xc00/0xcd0 net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:1168

this more obvious.

<title>netfilter: let reset rules clean out conntrack entries</title>

iptables/nftables support responding to tcp packets with tcp resets.

The generated tcp reset packet passes through both output and postrouting
netfilter hooks, but conntrack will never see them because the generated
skb has its -&gt;nfct pointer copied over from the packet that triggered the
reset rule.

If the reset rule is used for established connections, this
may result in the conntrack entry to be around for a very long
time (default timeout is 5 days).

One way to avoid this would be to not copy the nf_conn pointer
so that the rest packet passes through conntrack too.

Problem is that output rules might not have the same conntrack
zone setup as the prerouting ones, so its possible that the
reset skb won't find the correct entry.  Generating a template
entry for the skb seems error prone as well.

Add an explicit "closing" function that switches a confirmed
conntrack entry to closed state and wire this up for tcp.

If the entry isn't confirmed, no action is needed because
the conntrack entry will never be committed to the table.

<title>netfilter: rpfilter/fib: Set -&gt;flowic_uid correctly for user namespaces.</title>

Currently netfilter's rpfilter and fib modules implicitely initialise
-&gt;flowic_uid with 0. This is normally the root UID. However, this isn't
the case in user namespaces, where user ID 0 is mapped to a different
kernel UID. By initialising -&gt;flowic_uid with sock_net_uid(), we get
the root UID of the user namespace, thus keeping the same behaviour
whether or not we're running in a user namepspace.

Note, this is similar to commit 8bcfd0925ef1 ("ipv4: add missing
initialization for flowi4_uid"), which fixed the rp_filter sysctl.
