Following splat gets triggered when nfnetlink monitor is running while xtables-nft selftests are running: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:1272 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by xtables-nft-mul/27006: #0: 00000000e0f85be9 (&net->nft.commit_mutex){+.+.}, at: nf_tables_valid_genid+0x1a/0x50 Call Trace: nf_tables_fill_chain_info.isra.45+0x6cc/0x6e0 nf_tables_chain_notify+0xf8/0x1a0 nf_tables_commit+0x165c/0x1740 nf_tables_fill_chain_info() can be called both from dumps (rcu read locked) or from the transaction path if a userspace process subscribed to nftables notifications. In the 'table dump' case, rcu_access_pointer() cannot be used: We do not hold transaction mutex so the pointer can be NULLed right after the check. Just unconditionally fetch the value, then have the helper return immediately if its NULL. In the notification case we don't hold the rcu read lock, but updates are prevented due to transaction mutex. Use rcu_dereference_check() to make lockdep aware of this.

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.
