The seqcount xt_recseq is used to synchronize the replacement of
xt_table::private in xt_replace_table() against all readers such as
ipt_do_table()
To ensure that there is only one writer, the writing side disables
bottom halves. The sequence counter can be acquired recursively. Only the
first invocation modifies the sequence counter (signaling that a writer
is in progress) while the following (recursive) writer does not modify
the counter.
The lack of a proper locking mechanism for the sequence counter can lead
to live lock on PREEMPT_RT if the high prior reader preempts the
writer. Additionally if the per-CPU lock on PREEMPT_RT is removed from
local_bh_disable() then there is no synchronisation for the per-CPU
sequence counter.
The affected code is "just" the legacy netfilter code which is replaced
by "netfilter tables". That code can be disabled without sacrificing
functionality because everything is provided by the newer
implementation. This will only requires the usage of the "-nft" tools
instead of the "-legacy" ones.
The long term plan is to remove the legacy code so lets accelerate the
progress.
Relax dependencies on iptables legacy, replace select with depends on,
this should cause no harm to existing kernel configs and users can still
toggle IP{6}_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY in any case.
Make EBTABLES_LEGACY, IPTABLES_LEGACY and ARPTABLES depend on
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Hide xt_recseq and its users,
xt_register_table() and xt_percpu_counter_alloc() behind
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Let NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY depend on
!PREEMPT_RT.
This will break selftest expecing the legacy options enabled and will be
addressed in a following patch.
