From 24cea9677025e0de419989ecb692acd4bb34cac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso pablo@netfilter.org Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2024 18:04:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before exit_net release

Similar to 2c9f0293280e ("netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before netlink notifier") to address a race between exit_net and the destroy workqueue.

The trace below shows an element to be released via destroy workqueue while exit_net path (triggered via module removal) has already released the set that is used in such transaction.
