netfilter: conntrack: fix infinite loop on rmmod
'rmmod nf_conntrack' can hang forever, because the netns exit gets stuck in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(): i_see_dead_people: busy = 0; list_for_each_entry(net, net_exit_list, exit_list) { nf_ct_iterate_cleanup(kill_all, net, 0, 0); if (atomic_read(&net->ct.count) != 0) busy = 1; } if (busy) { schedule(); goto i_see_dead_people; } When nf_ct_iterate_cleanup iterates the conntrack table, all nf_conn structures can be found twice: once for the original tuple and once for the conntracks reply tuple. get_next_corpse() only calls the iterator when the entry is in original direction -- the idea was to avoid unneeded invocations of the iterator callback. When support for clashing entries was added, the assumption that all nf_conn objects are added twice, once in original, once for reply tuple no longer holds -- NF_CLASH_BIT entries are only added in the non-clashing reply direction. Thus, if at least one NF_CLASH entry is in the list then nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() always skips it completely. During normal netns destruction, this causes a hang of several seconds, until the gc worker removes the entry (NF_CLASH entries always have a 1 second timeout). But in the rmmod case, the gc worker has already been stopped, so ct.count never becomes 0. We can fix this in two ways: 1. Add a second test for CLASH_BIT and call iterator for those entries as well, or: 2. Skip the original tuple direction and use the reply tuple. 2) is simpler, so do that.
