From f969eb84ce482331a991079ab7a5c4dc3b7f89bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ziyang Xuan Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2024 14:56:04 +0800 Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_expr_type_get() nft_unregister_expr() can concurrent with __nft_expr_type_get(), and there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_expressions list in __nft_expr_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-race of nf_tables_expressions list entry. Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_expressions list in __nft_expr_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the caller nft_expr_type_get() to protect the entire type query process.
