netfilter: ctnetlink: fix deadlock due to acquire _expect_lock twice
Currently, ctnetlink_change_conntrack is always protected by _expect_lock, but this will cause a deadlock when deleting the helper from a conntrack, as the _expect_lock will be acquired again by nf_ct_remove_expectations: CPU0 ---- lock(nf_conntrack_expect_lock); lock(nf_conntrack_expect_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by lt-conntrack_gr/12853: #0: (&table[i].mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa05e2009>] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x399/0x6a9 [nfnetlink] #1: (nf_conntrack_expect_lock){+.....}, at: [<ffffffffa05f2c1f>] ctnetlink_new_conntrack+0x17f/0x408 [nf_conntrack_netlink] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 __lock_acquire+0x1608/0x1680 ? ctnetlink_parse_tuple_proto+0x10f/0x1c0 [nf_conntrack_netlink] lock_acquire+0x100/0x1f0 ? nf_ct_remove_expectations+0x32/0x90 [nf_conntrack] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x3f/0x50 ? nf_ct_remove_expectations+0x32/0x90 [nf_conntrack] nf_ct_remove_expectations+0x32/0x90 [nf_conntrack] ctnetlink_change_helper+0xc6/0x190 [nf_conntrack_netlink] ctnetlink_new_conntrack+0x1b2/0x408 [nf_conntrack_netlink] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x60a/0x6a9 [nfnetlink] ? nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x1b9/0x6a9 [nfnetlink] ? nfnetlink_bind+0x1a0/0x1a0 [nfnetlink] netlink_rcv_skb+0xa4/0xc0 nfnetlink_rcv+0x87/0x770 [nfnetlink] Since the operations are unrelated to nf_ct_expect, so we can drop the _expect_lock. Also note, after removing the _expect_lock protection, another CPU may invoke nf_conntrack_helper_unregister, so we should use rcu_read_lock to protect __nf_conntrack_helper_find invoked by ctnetlink_change_helper.
