From b768b16de58d5e0b1d7c3f936825b25327ced20c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarno Rajahalme Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2017 11:25:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: Fix refcount leak on force commit. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The reference count held for skb needs to be released when the skb's nfct pointer is cleared regardless of if nf_ct_delete() is called or not. Failing to release the skb's reference cound led to deferred conntrack cleanup spinning forever within nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() when cleaning up a network namespace:    kworker/u16:0-19025 [004] 45981067.173642: sched_switch: kworker/u16:0:19025 [120] R ==> rcu_preempt:7 [120]    kworker/u16:0-19025 [004] 45981067.173651: kernel_stack: => ___preempt_schedule (ffffffffa001ed36) => _raw_spin_unlock_bh (ffffffffa0713290) => nf_ct_iterate_cleanup (ffffffffc00a4454) => nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list (ffffffffc00a5e1e) => nf_conntrack_pernet_exit (ffffffffc00a63dd) => ops_exit_list.isra.1 (ffffffffa06075f3) => cleanup_net (ffffffffa0607df0) => process_one_work (ffffffffa0084c31) => worker_thread (ffffffffa008592b) => kthread (ffffffffa008bee2) => ret_from_fork (ffffffffa071b67c) Fixes: dd41d33f0b03 ("openvswitch: Add force commit.")
