Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net, specifically fixes for the nf_conncount infrastructure which is causing troubles since 5c789e13 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Add list lock and gc worker, and RCU for init tree search"). Patches aim to simplify this infrastructure while fixing up the problems: 1) Use fixed size CONNCOUNT_SLOTS in nf_conncount, from Shawn Bohrer. 2) Incorrect signedness in age calculation from find_or_evict(), from Florian Westphal. 3) Proper locking for the garbage collector workqueue callback, first make a patch to count how many nodes can be collected without holding locks, then grab lock and release them. Also from Florian. 4) Restart node lookup from the insertion path, after releasing nodes via packet path garbage collection. Shawn Bohrer described a scenario that may result in inserting a connection in an already dead list node. Patch from Florian. 5) Merge lookup and add function to avoid a hold release and re-grab. From Florian. 6) Be safe and iterate over the node lists under the spinlock. 7) Speculative list nodes removal via garbage collection, check if list node got a connection while it was scheduled for deletion via gc. 8) Accidental argument swap in find_next_bit() that leads to more frequent scheduling of the workqueue. From Florian Westphal. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
