[PATCH 3.18 52/61] netfilter: nf_tables: fix flush ruleset chain dependencies

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jan 27 2015 - 20:32:51 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a2f18db0c68fec96631c10cad9384c196e9008ac upstream.

Jumping between chains doesn't mix well with flush ruleset. Rules
from a different chain and set elements may still refer to us.

Release objects in this order: rules -> sets -> chains -> tables, to
make sure no references to chains are held anymore.
