Two patches listed below removed ctnetlink_dump_helpinfo call from under rcu_read_lock. Now its rcu_dereference generates following warning: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.13.0+ #5 Not tainted ----------------------------- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:221 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 2251 Comm: conntrack Not tainted 5.13.0+ #5 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xa1 ctnetlink_dump_helpinfo+0x134/0x150 [nf_conntrack_netlink] ctnetlink_fill_info+0x2c2/0x390 [nf_conntrack_netlink] ctnetlink_dump_table+0x13f/0x370 [nf_conntrack_netlink] netlink_dump+0x10c/0x370 __netlink_dump_start+0x1a7/0x260 ctnetlink_get_conntrack+0x1e5/0x250 [nf_conntrack_netlink] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x613/0x993 [nfnetlink] netlink_rcv_skb+0x50/0x100 nfnetlink_rcv+0x55/0x120 [nfnetlink] netlink_unicast+0x181/0x260 netlink_sendmsg+0x23f/0x460 sock_sendmsg+0x5b/0x60 __sys_sendto+0xf1/0x160 __x64_sys_sendto+0x24/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x36/0x70 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Fixes: 49ca022 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: don't dump ct extensions of unconfirmed conntracks") Fixes: 0b35f60 ("netfilter: Remove duplicated rcu_read_lock.")
