+Subject: netfilter: nf_ct_ext: fix possible panic after nf_ct_extend_unregister
+
+From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com>
+
+commit 9c3f3794926a997b1cab6c42480ff300efa2d162 upstream.
+
+If one cpu is doing nf_ct_extend_unregister while another cpu is doing
+__nf_ct_ext_add_length, then we may hit BUG_ON(t == NULL). Moreover,
+there's no synchronize_rcu invocation after set nf_ct_ext_types[id] to
+NULL, so it's possible that we may access invalid pointer.
+
+But actually, most of the ct extends are built-in, so the problem listed
+above will not happen. However, there are two exceptions: NF_CT_EXT_NAT
+and NF_CT_EXT_SYNPROXY.
+
+For _EXT_NAT, the panic will not happen, since adding the nat extend and
+unregistering the nat extend are located in the same file(nf_nat_core.c),
+this means that after the nat module is removed, we cannot add the nat
+extend too.
+
+For _EXT_SYNPROXY, synproxy extend may be added by init_conntrack, while
+synproxy extend unregister will be done by synproxy_core_exit. So after
+nf_synproxy_core.ko is removed, we may still try to add the synproxy
+extend, then kernel panic may happen.
+
+I know it's very hard to reproduce this issue, but I can play a tricky
+game to make it happen very easily :)
+
+Step 1. Enable SYNPROXY for tcp dport 1234 at FORWARD hook:
+ # iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --dport 1234 -j SYNPROXY
+Step 2. Queue the syn packet to the userspace at raw table OUTPUT hook.
+ Also note, in the userspace we only add a 20s' delay, then
+ reinject the syn packet to the kernel:
+ # iptables -t raw -I OUTPUT -p tcp --syn -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 1
+Step 3. Using "nc 2.2.2.2 1234" to connect the server.
+Step 4. Now remove the nf_synproxy_core.ko quickly:
+ # iptables -F FORWARD
+ # rmmod ipt_SYNPROXY
+ # rmmod nf_synproxy_core
+Step 5. After 20s' delay, the syn packet is reinjected to the kernel.
+
+Now you will see the panic like this:
+ kernel BUG at net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c:91!
+ Call Trace:
+ ? __nf_ct_ext_add_length+0x53/0x3c0 [nf_conntrack]
+ init_conntrack+0x12b/0x600 [nf_conntrack]
+ nf_conntrack_in+0x4cc/0x580 [nf_conntrack]
+ ipv4_conntrack_local+0x48/0x50 [nf_conntrack_ipv4]
+ nf_reinject+0x104/0x270
+ nfqnl_recv_verdict+0x3e1/0x5f9 [nfnetlink_queue]
+ ? nfqnl_recv_verdict+0x5/0x5f9 [nfnetlink_queue]
+ ? nla_parse+0xa0/0x100
+ nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x175/0x6a9 [nfnetlink]
+ [...]
+
+One possible solution is to make NF_CT_EXT_SYNPROXY extend built-in, i.e.
+introduce nf_conntrack_synproxy.c and only do ct extend register and
+unregister in it, similar to nf_conntrack_timeout.c.
+
+But having such a obscure restriction of nf_ct_extend_unregister is not a
+good idea, so we should invoke synchronize_rcu after set nf_ct_ext_types
+to NULL, and check the NULL pointer when do __nf_ct_ext_add_length. Then
+it will be easier if we add new ct extend in the future.
+
+Last, we use kfree_rcu to free nf_ct_ext, so rcu_barrier() is unnecessary
+anymore, remove it too.
