include/linux/netfilter_netdev.h:97 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
2 locks held by sd-resolve/1100:
  0: ..(rcu_read_lock_bh){1:3}, at: ip_finish_output2
  1: ..(rcu_read_lock_bh){1:3}, at: __dev_queue_xmit
  __dev_queue_xmit+0 ..

The helper has two callers, one uses rcu_read_lock, the other
rcu_read_lock_bh().  Annotate the dereference to reflect this.

It seems other rcu_dereference() uses will also trigger lockdep splat.


nft_do_chain()

...

if (genbit)

     blob = rcu_dereference(chain->blob_gen_1);

else

    blob = rcu_dereference(chain->blob_gen_0);

I wonder how many other places will need a fix ?
