netfilter: nft_hash: no need for rcu in the hash set destroy path
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The sets are released from the rcu callback, after the rule is removed
from the chain list, which implies that nfnetlink cannot update the
hashes (thus, no resizing may occur) and no packets are walking on the
set anymore.

This resolves a lockdep splat in the nft_hash_destroy() path since the
nfnl mutex is not held there.

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.16.0-rc2+ #168 Not tainted
-------------------------------
net/netfilter/nft_hash.c:362 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by ksoftirqd/0/3:
 #0:  (rcu_callback){......}, at: [<ffffffff81096393>] rcu_process_callbacks+0x27e/0x4c7
