Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] netfilter: tproxy: fix deadlock due to missing BH disable

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 11:04:23 +0100

From: Florian Westphal <[email-masked]>

The xtables packet traverser performs an unconditional local_bh_disable(),
but the nf_tables evaluation loop does not.

Functions that are called from either xtables or nftables must assume
that they can be called in process context.

inet_twsk_deschedule_put() assumes that no softirq interrupt can occur.
If tproxy is used from nf_tables its possible that we'll deadlock
trying to aquire a lock already held in process context.

Add a small helper that takes care of this and use it.
