In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disable migration in nfhookrun_bpf().
syzbot reported that the netfilter bpf prog can be called without migration disabled in xmit path.
Then the assertion in _bpfprog_run() fails, triggering the splat below. [0]
Let's use bpfprogrunpinoncpu() in nfhookrunbpf().
