Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip expired elements during walk

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email-masked]>

From: Florian Westphal <[email-masked]>

There is an asymmetry between commit/abort and preparation phase if the
following conditions are met:

1. set is a verdict map ("1.2.3.4 : jump foo")
2. timeouts are enabled

In this case, following sequence is problematic:

1. element E in set S refers to chain C
2. userspace requests removal of set S
3. kernel does a set walk to decrement chain->use count for all elements
   from preparation phase
4. kernel does another set walk to remove elements from the commit phase
   (or another walk to do a chain->use increment for all elements from
    abort phase)

If E has already expired in 1), it will be ignored during list walk, so its use count
won't have been changed.

Then, when set is culled, ->destroy callback will zap the element via
nf_tables_set_elem_destroy(), but this function is only safe for
elements that have been deactivated earlier from the preparation phase:
lack of earlier deactivate removes the element but leaks the chain use
count, which results in a WARN splat when the chain gets removed later,
plus a leak of the nft_chain structure.

Update pipapo_get() not to skip expired elements, otherwise flush
command reports bogus ENOENT errors.

Fixes: 3c4287f62044 ("nf_tables: Add set type for arbitrary concatenation of ranges")
Fixes: 8d8540c4f5e0 ("netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: add timeout support")
Fixes: 9d0982927e79 ("netfilter: nft_hash: add support for timeouts")
