[PATCH 5.15 40/98] netfilter: nft_dynset: restore set element counter when failing to update

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 05 2022 - 08:26:56 EST


From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 05907f10e235680cc7fb196810e4ad3215d5e648 upstream.

This patch fixes a race condition.

nft_rhash_update() might fail for two reasons:

- Element already exists in the hashtable.
- Another packet won race to insert an entry in the hashtable.

In both cases, new() has already bumped the counter via atomic_add_unless(),
therefore, decrement the set element counter.

Fixes: 22fe54d5fefc ("netfilter: nf_tables: add support for dynamic set updates")
