[ Upstream commit e72eeab542dbf4f544e389e64fa13b82a1b6d003 ] I received a bug report (no reproducer so far) where we trip over 712 rcu_read_lock(); 713 ct_hook = rcu_dereference(nf_ct_hook); 714 BUG_ON(ct_hook == NULL); // here In nf_conntrack_destroy(). First turn this BUG_ON into a WARN. I think it was triggered via enable_hooks=1 flag. When this flag is turned on, the conntrack hooks are registered before nf_ct_hook pointer gets assigned. This opens a short window where packets enter the conntrack machinery, can have skb->_nfct set up and a subsequent kfree_skb might occur before nf_ct_hook is set. Call nf_conntrack_init_end() to set nf_ct_hook before we register the pernet ops.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
