Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 017/123] netfilter: nf_conncount: use spin_lock_bh instead of spin_lock

From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit fd3e71a9f71e232181a225301a75936373636ccc ]

conn_free() holds lock with spin_lock() and it is called by both
nf_conncount_lookup() and nf_conncount_gc_list(). nf_conncount_lookup()
is called from bottom-half context and nf_conncount_gc_list() from
process context. So that spin_lock() call is not safe. Hence
conn_free() should use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock().

test commands:
   %nft add table ip filter
   %nft add chain ip filter input { type filter hook input priority 0\; }
   %nft add rule filter input meter test { ip saddr ct count over 2 } \
	   counter

splat looks like:
