Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls

Ben Greear reports following splat:
------------[ cut here ]------------
net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c:1114 module nf_nat func:nf_nat_register_fn has 256 allocated at module unload
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 10421 at lib/alloc_tag.c:168 alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0
Modules linked in: nf_nat(-) btrfs ufs qnx4 hfsplus hfs minix vfat msdos fat
...
Hardware name: Default string Default string/SKYBAY, BIOS 5.12 08/04/2020
RIP: 0010:alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0
codetag_unload_module+0x19b/0x2a0
? codetag_load_module+0x80/0x80

nf_nat module exit calls kfree_rcu on those addresses, but the free
operation is likely still pending by the time alloc_tag checks for leaks.

Wait for outstanding kfree_rcu operations to complete before checking
resolves this warning.

Reproducer:
unshare -n iptables-nft -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp
grep nf_nat /proc/allocinfo # will list 4 allocations
rmmod nft_chain_nat
rmmod nf_nat # will WARN.
