From 70e9942f17a6193e9172a804e6569a8806633d6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:16:51 +0100 Subject: netfilter: nf_conntrack: make event callback registration per-netns This patch fixes an oops that can be triggered following this recipe: 0) make sure nf_conntrack_netlink and nf_conntrack_ipv4 are loaded. 1) container is started. 2) connect to it via lxc-console. 3) generate some traffic with the container to create some conntrack entries in its table. 4) stop the container: you hit one oops because the conntrack table cleanup tries to report the destroy event to user-space but the per-netns nfnetlink socket has already gone (as the nfnetlink socket is per-netns but event callback registration is global). To fix this situation, we make the ctnl_notifier per-netns so the callback is registered/unregistered if the container is created/destroyed. Alex Bligh and Alexey Dobriyan originally proposed one small patch to check if the nfnetlink socket is gone in nfnetlink_has_listeners, but this is a very visited path for events, thus, it may reduce performance and it looks a bit hackish to check for the nfnetlink socket only to workaround this situation. As a result, I decided to follow the bigger path choice, which seems to look nicer to me.
