Then, rtnl_unlock() by Thread B will release RTNL\nand wait for netdev_put() by Thread A.\n\nThread A, however, must hold RTNL after the unlock in dev_ifsioc(),\nwhich may take long under RTNL pressure, resulting in the splat by\nThread B.\n\n Thread A (SIOCBRDELIF) Thread B (SIOCBRDELBR)\n ---------------------- ----------------------\n sock_ioctl sock_ioctl\n `- sock_do_ioctl `- br_ioctl_call\n `- dev_ioctl `- br_ioctl_stub\n |- rtnl_lock |\n |- dev_ifsioc '\n ' |- dev = __dev_get_by_name(...)\n |- netdev_hold(dev, ...) .\n / |- rtnl_unlock ------. |\n | |- br_ioctl_call `---> |- rtnl_lock\n Race | | `- br_ioctl_stub |- br_del_bridge\n Window | | | |- dev = __dev_get_by_name(...)\n | | | May take long | `- br_dev_delete(dev, ...)\n | | | under RTNL pressure | `- unregister_netdevice_queue(dev, ...)\n | | | | `- rtnl_unlock\n \\ | |- rtnl_lock <-' `- netdev_run_todo\n | |- ... `- netdev_run_todo\n | `- rtnl_unlock |- __rtnl_unlock\n | |- netdev_wait_allrefs_any\n |- netdev_put(dev, ...) <----------------'\n Wait refcnt decrement\n and log splat below\n\nTo avoid blocking SIOCBRDELBR unnecessarily, let's not call\ndev_ioctl() for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF.\n\nIn the dev_ioctl() path, we do the following:\n\n 1. Copy struct ifreq by get_user_ifreq in sock_do_ioctl()\n 2. Check CAP_NET_ADMIN in dev_ioctl()\n 3. Call dev_load() in dev_ioctl()\n 4. Fetch the master dev from ifr.ifr_name in dev_ifsioc()\n\n3. can be done by request_module() in br_ioctl_call(), so we move\n1., 2., and 4. to br_ioctl_stub().\n\nNote that 2. is also checked later in add_del_if(), but it's better\nperformed before RTNL.\n\nSIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF have been processed in dev_ioctl() since\nthe pre-git era, and there seems to be no specific reason to process\nthem there.\n\n[0]:\nunregister_netdevice: waiting for wpan3 to become free.
