From 554873e517115c4b7207259f1cadfd77d90b5395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Tkhai Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2018 19:38:37 +0300 Subject: net: Do not take net_rwsem in __rtnl_link_unregister() This function calls call_netdevice_notifier(), which also may take net_rwsem. So, we can't use net_rwsem here. This patch makes callers of this functions take pernet_ops_rwsem, like register_netdevice_notifier() does. This will protect the modifications of net_namespace_list, and allows notifiers to take it (they won't have to care about context). Since __rtnl_link_unregister() is used on module load and unload (which are not frequent operations), this looks for me better, than make all call_netdevice_notifier() always executing in "protected net_namespace_list" context. Also, this fixes the problem we had a deal in 328fbe747ad4 "Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and ...", and guarantees __rtnl_link_unregister() does not skip exitting net.
