[ Upstream commit 897eefee2eb73ec6c119a0ca357d7b4a3e92c5ef ]

The scratchmap size depends on the number of elements in the set.
For huge sets, each scratch map can easily require very large
allocations, e.g. for 100k entries each scratch map will require
close to 64kbyte of memory.

[ Upstream commit cf5fb87fcdaaaafec55dcc0dc5a9e15ead343973 ]

A chain/flowtable update with duplicated devices in the same batch is
possible. Unfortunately, netdev event path only removes the first
device that is found, leaving unregistered the hook of the duplicated
device.

Check if a duplicated device exists in the transaction batch, bail out
with EEXIST in such case.

WARNING is hit when unregistering the hook:

[ Upstream commit c0a23bbc98e93704a1f4fb5e7e7bb2d7c0fb6eb3 ]

The estimator kthreads' affinity are defined by sysctl overwritten
preferences and applied through a plain call to the scheduler's affinity
API.

However since the introduction of managed kthreads preferred affinity,
such a practice shortcuts the kthreads core code which eventually
overwrites the target to the default unbound affinity.

Fix this with using the appropriate kthread's API.

[ Upstream commit 1492e3dcb2be3aa46d1963da96aa9593e4e4db5a ]

Same pattern as previous patch: do not keep the expectation object
alive via refcount, only store a cookie value and then use that
as the skip hint for dump resumption.

AFAICS this has the same issue as the one resolved in the conntrack
dumper, when we do
  if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&amp;exp-&gt;use))

to increment the refcount, there is a chance that exp == last, which
causes a double-increment of the refcount and subsequent memory leak.

[ Upstream commit de788b2e6227462b6dcd0e07474e72c089008f74 ]

There is a reference count leak in ctnetlink_dump_table():
      if (res &lt; 0) {
                nf_conntrack_get(&amp;ct-&gt;ct_general); // HERE
                cb-&gt;args[1] = (unsigned long)ct;
                ...

While its very unlikely, its possible that ct == last.
If this happens, then the refcount of ct was already incremented.
This 2nd increment is never undone.

This prevents the conntrack object from being released, which in turn
keeps prevents cnet-&gt;count from dropping back to 0.

This will then block the netns dismantle (or conntrack rmmod) as
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() will wait forever.

This can be reproduced by running conntrack_resize.sh selftest in a loop.
It takes ~20 minutes for me on a preemptible kernel on average before
I see a runaway kworker spinning in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list.

One fix would to change this to:
        if (res &lt; 0) {
		if (ct != last)
	                nf_conntrack_get(&amp;ct-&gt;ct_general);

But this reference counting isn't needed in the first place.
We can just store a cookie value instead.

A followup patch will do the same for ctnetlink_exp_dump_table,
it looks to me as if this has the same problem and like
ctnetlink_dump_table, we only need a 'skip hint', not the actual
object so we can apply the same cookie strategy there as well.

[ Upstream commit 9e6448f7b1efb27f8d508b067ecd33ed664a4246 ]

Similarly to the previous patch fixing the flow_dissector ctx accesses,
nf_is_valid_access also doesn't check that ctx accesses are aligned.
Contrary to flow_dissector programs, netfilter programs don't have
context conversion. The unaligned ctx accesses are therefore allowed by
the verifier.

[ Upstream commit 17ce3e5949bc37557305ad46316f41c7875d6366 ]

syzbot reported that the netfilter bpf prog can be called without
migration disabled in xmit path.

Then the assertion in __bpf_prog_run() fails, triggering the splat
below. [0]

Let's use bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() in nf_hook_run_bpf().

[ Upstream commit 17ce3e5949bc37557305ad46316f41c7875d6366 ]

syzbot reported that the netfilter bpf prog can be called without
migration disabled in xmit path.

Then the assertion in __bpf_prog_run() fails, triggering the splat
below. [0]

Let's use bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() in nf_hook_run_bpf().

[ Upstream commit 8df1b40de76979bb8e975201d07b71103d5de820 ]

It's needed to check the return value of lockdep_commit_lock_is_held(),
otherwise there's no point in this assertion as it doesn't print any
debug information on itself.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static
analysis tool.

[ Upstream commit 8080357a8c6cf4905bbd8969412c19d34be3395e ]

This practically reverts commit 28339b21a365 ("netfilter: nf_tables: do
not send complete notification of deletions"): The feature was never
effective, due to prior modification of 'event' variable the conditional
early return never happened.

User space also relies upon the current behaviour, so better reintroduce
the shortened deletion notifications once it is fixed.
