[ovs-dev] [patch v1 1/2] conntrack: Fix race for NAT cleanup.

Wed Mar 13 08:08:25 UTC 2019


Reference lists are not fully protected during cleanup of
NAT connections where the bucket lock is transiently not held during
list traversal.  This can lead to referencing freed memory during
cleaning from multiple contexts.  Fix this by protecting with
the existing 'cleanup' mutex in the missed cases where 'conn_clean()'
is called.  'conntrack_flush()' is converted to expiry list traversal
to support the proper bucket level protection with the 'cleanup' mutex.

Fixes: 286de2729955 ("dpdk: Userspace Datapath: Introduce NAT Support.")
