netfilter: ctnetlink: fix missing refcount increment during dumps
In 13ee6ac netfilter: fix race in conntrack between dump_table and destroy, we recovered spinlocks to protect the dump of the conntrack table according to reports from Stephen and acknowledgments on the issue from Eric. In that patch, the refcount bump that allows to keep a reference to the current ct object was removed. However, we still decrement the refcount for that object in the output path of ctnetlink_dump_table(): if (last) nf_ct_put(last) Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen.hemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
