The quilt patch titled Subject: lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lib-alloc_tag_module_unload-must-wait-for-pending-kfree_rcu-calls.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Florian Westphal fw@strlen.de Subject: lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2024 22:52:24 +0200
Ben Greear reports following splat: ------------[ cut here ]------------ net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c:1114 module nf_nat func:nf_nat_register_fn has 256 allocated at module unload WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 10421 at lib/alloc_tag.c:168 alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0 Modules linked in: nf_nat(-) btrfs ufs qnx4 hfsplus hfs minix vfat msdos fat ... Hardware name: Default string Default string/SKYBAY, BIOS 5.12 08/04/2020 RIP: 0010:alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0 codetag_unload_module+0x19b/0x2a0 ? codetag_load_module+0x80/0x80
nf_nat module exit calls kfree_rcu on those addresses, but the free operation is likely still pending by the time alloc_tag checks for leaks.
Wait for outstanding kfree_rcu operations to complete before checking resolves this warning.
Reproducer: unshare -n iptables-nft -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp grep nf_nat /proc/allocinfo # will list 4 allocations rmmod nft_chain_nat rmmod nf_nat # will WARN.
