Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan 98ab3ff5e7 netfilter: x_tables: Switch synchronization to RCU
[ Upstream commit cc00bcaa58 ]

When running concurrent iptables rules replacement with data, the per CPU
sequence count is checked after the assignment of the new information.
The sequence count is used to synchronize with the packet path without the
use of any explicit locking. If there are any packets in the packet path using
the table information, the sequence count is incremented to an odd value and
is incremented to an even after the packet process completion.

The new table value assignment is followed by a write memory barrier so every
CPU should see the latest value. If the packet path has started with the old
table information, the sequence counter will be odd and the iptables
replacement will wait till the sequence count is even prior to freeing the
old table info.

However, this assumes that the new table information assignment and the memory
barrier is actually executed prior to the counter check in the replacement
thread. If CPU decides to execute the assignment later as there is no user of
the table information prior to the sequence check, the packet path in another
CPU may use the old table information. The replacement thread would then free
the table information under it leading to a use after free in the packet
processing context-

napi_poll+0x88/0x284
net_rx_action+0xbc/0x23c
__do_softirq+0x20c/0x48c

This could be fixed by forcing instruction order after the new table
information assignment or by switching to RCU for the synchronization.
