Pablo Neira Ayuso aea1d19594 netfilter: nf_conncount: move all list iterations under spinlock
commit 2f971a8f42 upstream.

Two CPUs may race to remove a connection from the list, the existing
conn->dead will result in a use-after-free. Use the per-list spinlock to
protect list iterations.

As all accesses to the list now happen while holding the per-list lock,
we no longer need to delay free operations with rcu.

Joint work with Florian.

Fixes: 5c789e131c ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Add list lock and gc worker, and RCU for init tree search")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
