Florian Westphal 43a3c2e4a6 netfilter: nf_conncount: restart search when nodes have been erased 
commit e8cfb372b3 upstream.

Shawn Bohrer reported a following crash:
 |RIP: 0010:rb_erase+0xae/0x360
 [..]
 Call Trace:
  nf_conncount_destroy+0x59/0xc0 [nf_conncount]
  cleanup_match+0x45/0x70 [ip_tables]
  ...

Shawn tracked this down to bogus 'parent' pointer:
Problem is that when we insert a new node, then there is a chance that
the 'parent' that we found was also passed to tree_nodes_free() (because
that node was empty) for erase+free.

Instead of trying to be clever and detect when this happens, restart
the search if we have evicted one or more nodes.  To prevent frequent
restarts, do not perform gc on the second round.

Also, unconditionally schedule the gc worker.
The condition

  gc_count > ARRAY_SIZE(gc_nodes))

cannot be true unless tree grows very large, as the height of the tree
will be low even with hundreds of nodes present.

Fixes: 5c789e131c ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Add list lock and gc worker, and RCU for init tree search")

README 

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.
