From fefa92679dbe0c613e62b6c27235dcfbe9640ad1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liping Zhang Date: Sun, 21 May 2017 07:22:49 +0800 Subject: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix incorrect nf_ct_put during hash resize If nf_conntrack_htable_size was adjusted by the user during the ct dump operation, we may invoke nf_ct_put twice for the same ct, i.e. the "last" ct. This will cause the ct will be freed but still linked in hash buckets. It's very easy to reproduce the problem by the following commands: # while : ; do echo $RANDOM > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_buckets done # while : ; do conntrack -L done # iperf -s 127.0.0.1 & # iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -P 60 -t 36000 After a while, the system will hang like this: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! [bash:20184] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [iperf:20382] ... So at last if we find cb->args[1] is equal to "last", this means hash resize happened, then we can set cb->args[1] to 0 to fix the above issue.
