Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: flowtable: fix stuck flows on cleanup due to pending work To clear the flow table on flow table free, the following sequence normally happens in order: 1) gc_step work is stopped to disable any further stats/del requests. 2) All flow table entries are set to teardown state. 3) Run gc_step which will queue HW del work for each flow table entry. 4) Waiting for the above del work to finish (flush). 5) Run gc_step again, deleting all entries from the flow table. 6) Flow table is freed. But if a flow table entry already has pending HW stats or HW add work step 3 will not queue HW del work (it will be skipped), step 4 will wait for the pending add/stats to finish, and step 5 will queue HW del work which might execute after freeing of the flow table. To fix the above, this patch flushes the pending work, then it sets the teardown flag to all flows in the flowtable and it forces a garbage collector run to queue work to remove the flows from hardware, then it flushes this new pending work and (finally) it forces another garbage collector run to remove the entry from the software flowtable.

Pero si una entrada de la tabla de flujo ya tiene estad\u00edsticas de HW pendientes o trabajo de adici\u00f3n de HW, el paso 3 no pondr\u00e1 en cola el trabajo de del de HW (se omitir\u00e1), el paso 4 esperar\u00e1 a que finalicen las adiciones/estad\u00edsticas pendientes y el paso 5 pondr\u00e1 en cola el trabajo de del de HW que podr\u00eda ejecutarse despu\u00e9s de liberar la tabla de flujo. Para solucionar lo anterior, este parche limpia el trabajo pendiente, luego establece el indicador de desmontaje en todos los flujos en la tabla de flujo y fuerza la ejecuci\u00f3n de un recolector de basura para poner en cola el trabajo para eliminar los flujos del hardware, luego limpia este nuevo trabajo pendiente y (finalmente) fuerza la ejecuci\u00f3n de otro recolector de basura para eliminar la entrada de la tabla de flujo del software.
