[PATCH 6/7] netfilter: nf_conntrack: decrement global counter after object release

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Date: 2013-11-21 09:05:27
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds 

nf_conntrack_free() decrements our counter (net->ct.count)
before releasing the conntrack object. That counter is used in the
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list path to check if it's time to
kmem_cache_destroy our cache of conntrack objects. I think we have
a race there that should be easier to trigger (although still hard)
with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE as object releases become slowier
according to the following splat:
