Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: conntrack: fix using __this_cpu_add in preemptible Currently in nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert(), when it fails in nf_ct_ext_valid_pre/post(), NF_CT_STAT_INC() will be called in the preemptible context, a call trace can be triggered: BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: conntrack/1636 caller is nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert+0x45/0x430 [nf_conntrack] Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x33/0x46 check_preemption_disabled+0xc3/0xf0 nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert+0x45/0x430 [nf_conntrack] ctnetlink_create_conntrack+0x3cd/0x4e0 [nf_conntrack_netlink] ctnetlink_new_conntrack+0x1c0/0x450 [nf_conntrack_netlink] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x277/0x2f0 [nfnetlink] netlink_rcv_skb+0x50/0x100 nfnetlink_rcv+0x65/0x144 [nfnetlink] netlink_unicast+0x1ae/0x290 netlink_sendmsg+0x257/0x4f0 sock_sendmsg+0x5f/0x70 This patch is to fix it by changing to use NF_CT_STAT_INC_ATOMIC() for nf_ct_ext_valid_pre/post() check in nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert(), as well as nf_ct_ext_valid_post() in __nf_conntrack_confirm(). Note that nf_ct_ext_valid_pre() check in __nf_conntrack_confirm() is safe to use NF_CT_STAT_INC(), as it's under local_bh_disable().
