This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

to the 6.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: lib-alloc_tag_module_unload-must-wait-for-pending-kf.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory.

Thanks Sasha! Could you please double-check that the prerequisite patch https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241021171003.2907935-1-surenb@google.com/ was also picked up? I don't see it in the queue-6.11 directory. Without that patch this one will cause build errors, that's why I sent them as a patchset. Thanks, Suren.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls

[ Upstream commit dc783ba4b9df3fb3e76e968b2cbeb9960069263c ]

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.
