Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 020/123] netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip inactive chains during update

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

[ Upstream commit 0fb39bbe43d4481fcf300d2b5822de60942fd189 ]

There is no synchronization between packet path and the configuration plane.

The packet path uses two arrays with rules, one contains the current (active)
generation.  The other either contains the last (obsolete) generation or
the future one.

Consider:
cpu1               cpu2
                   nft_do_chain(c);
delete c
net->gen++;
                   genbit = !!net->gen;
                   rules = c->rg[genbit];

cpu1 ignores c when updating if c is not active anymore in the new
generation.

On cpu2, we now use rules from wrong generation, as c->rg[old]
contains the rules matching 'c' whereas c->rg[new] was not updated and
can even point to rules that have been free'd already, causing a crash.

To fix this, make sure that 'current' to the 'next' generation are
identical for chains that are going away so that c->rg[new] will just
use the matching rules even if genbit was incremented already.
