Commit 5b48bb8506c5 ("openvswitch: Fix helper reference leak") fixed a
reference leak on helper objects, but inadvertently introduced a leak on
the ct template.

Previously, ct_info.ct-&gt;general.use was initialized to 0 by
nf_ct_tmpl_alloc() and only incremented when ovs_ct_copy_action()
returned successful. If an error occurred while adding the helper or
adding the action to the actions buffer, the __ovs_ct_free_action()
cleanup would use nf_ct_put() to free the entry; However, this relies on
atomic_dec_and_test(ct_info.ct-&gt;general.use). This reference must be
incremented first, or nf_ct_put() will never free it.

Fix the issue by acquiring a reference to the template immediately after
allocation.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains the first batch of Netfilter updates for
the upcoming 4.5 kernel. This batch contains userspace netfilter header
compilation fixes, support for packet mangling in nf_tables, the new
tracing infrastructure for nf_tables and cgroup2 support for iptables.
More specifically, they are:

1) Two patches to include dependencies in our netfilter userspace
   headers to resolve compilation problems, from Mikko Rapeli.

2) Four comestic cleanup patches for the ebtables codebase, from Ian Morris.

3) Remove duplicate include in the netfilter reject infrastructure,
   from Stephen Hemminger.

4) Two patches to simplify the netfilter defragmentation code for IPv6,
   patch from Florian Westphal.

5) Fix root ownership of /proc/net netfilter for unpriviledged net
   namespaces, from Philip Whineray.

6) Get rid of unused fields in struct nft_pktinfo, from Florian Westphal.

7) Add mangling support to our nf_tables payload expression, from
   Patrick McHardy.

8) Introduce a new netlink-based tracing infrastructure for nf_tables,
   from Florian Westphal.

9) Change setter functions in nfnetlink_log to be void, from
    Rami Rosen.

10) Add netns support to the cttimeout infrastructure.

11) Add cgroup2 support to iptables, from Tejun Heo.

12) Introduce nfnl_dereference_protected() in nfnetlink, from Florian.

13) Add support for mangling pkttype in the nf_tables meta expression,
    also from Florian.

BTW, I need that you pull net into net-next, I have another batch that
requires changes that I don't yet see in net.

If userspace executes ct(zone=1), and the connection tracker determines
that the packet is invalid, then the ct_zone flow key field is populated
with the default zone rather than the zone that was specified. Even
though connection tracking failed, this field should be updated with the
value that the action specified. Fix the issue.

The previous patch changed nf_ct_frag6_gather() to morph reassembled skb
with the previous one.

This means that the return value is always NULL or the skb argument.
So change it to an err value.

Instead of invoking NF_HOOK recursively with threshold to skip already-called hooks
we can now just return NF_ACCEPT to move on to the next hook except for
-EINPROGRESS (which means skb has been queued for reassembly), in which case we
return NF_STOLEN.

commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf
("netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs")
changed ipv6 defrag to not use the original skbs anymore.

So rather than keeping the original skbs around just to discard them
afterwards just use the original skbs directly for the fraglist of
the newly assembled skb and remove the extra clone/free operations.

The skb that completes the fragment queue is morphed into a the
reassembled one instead, just like ipv4 defrag.

openvswitch doesn't need any additional skb_morph magic anymore to deal
with this situation so just remove that.

A followup patch can then also remove the NF_HOOK (re)invocation in
the ipv6 netfilter defrag hook.

nf_ct_frag6_gather() makes a clone of each skb passed to it, and if the
reassembly is successful, expects the caller to free all of the original
skbs using nf_ct_frag6_consume_orig(). This call was previously missing,
meaning that the original fragments were never freed (with the exception
of the last fragment to arrive).

Fix this by ensuring that all original fragments except for the last
fragment are freed via nf_ct_frag6_consume_orig(). The last fragment
will be morphed into the head, so it must not be freed yet. Furthermore,
retain the -&gt;next pointer for the head after skb_morph().

If ip_defrag() returns an error other than -EINPROGRESS, then the skb is
freed. When handle_fragments() passes this back up to
do_execute_actions(), it will be freed again. Prevent this double free
by never freeing the skb in do_execute_actions() for errors returned by
ovs_ct_execute. Always free it in ovs_ct_execute() error paths instead.
