netfilter: nf_conntrack: decrement global counter after object release
nf_conntrack_free() decrements our counter (net->ct.count) before releasing the conntrack object. That counter is used in the nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list path to check if it's time to kmem_cache_destroy our cache of conntrack objects. I think we have a race there that should be easier to trigger (although still hard) with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE as object releases become slowier according to the following splat: [ 1136.321305] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2483 at lib/debugobjects.c:260 debug_print_object+0x83/0xa0() [ 1136.321311] ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x20 ...
