netfilter: flowtable: generalize pending status bit
Rename NF_FLOW_HW_PENDING to NF_FLOW_PENDING and use it to inhibit the flowtable GC worker until pending hw offload work has been completed. Apparently, nf_flow_offload_stats() can schedule work to retrieve stats while the flow is being removed by GC. And this bit can also be used in a follow up patch to disable GC until the flow has been fully added in both directions. Revert the reordering done in commit d644b23afe1e ("netfilter: flowtable: publish HW_DEAD after worker is done") to prevent a race between GC and hw offload handler. Fixes: 2c8897953f3b ("netfilter: flowtable: Add pending bit for offload work") Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
