[ Upstream commit 2c9f0293280e258606e54ed2b96fa71498432eae ]
Destroy work waits for the RCU grace period then it releases the objects
with no mutex held. All releases objects follow this path for
transactions, therefore, order is guaranteed and references to top-level
objects in the hierarchy remain valid.
However, netlink notifier might interfer with pending destroy work.
rcu_barrier() is not correct because objects are not release via RCU
callback. Flush destroy work before releasing objects from netlink
notifier path.
Fixes: d4bc8271db21 ("netfilter: nf_tables: netlink notifier might race to release objects")

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.
