Message-Id: <20220720230754.209053-18-pablo@netfilter.org> Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2022 01:07:53 +0200 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org> To: netfilter-devel@...r.kernel.org Cc: davem@...emloft.net, netdev@...r.kernel.org, kuba@...nel.org, pabeni@...hat.com, edumazet@...gle.com Subject: [PATCH nf-next 17/18] netfilter: flowtable: prefer refcount_inc From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> With refcount_inc_not_zero, we'd also need a smp_rmb or similar, followed by a test of the CONFIRMED bit. However, the ct pointer is taken from skb->_nfct, its refcount must not be 0 (else, we'd already have a use-after-free bug). Use refcount_inc() instead to clarify the ct refcount is expected to be at least 1.
