net: core: add nested_level variable in net_device
This patch is to add a new variable 'nested_level' into the net_device structure. This variable will be used as a parameter of spin_lock_nested() of dev->addr_list_lock. netif_addr_lock() can be called recursively so spin_lock_nested() is used instead of spin_lock() and dev->lower_level is used as a parameter of spin_lock_nested(). But, dev->lower_level value can be updated while it is being used. So, lockdep would warn a possible deadlock scenario. When a stacked interface is deleted, netif_{uc | mc}_sync() is called recursively. So, spin_lock_nested() is called recursively too. At this moment, the dev->lower_level variable is used as a parameter of it. dev->lower_level value is updated when interfaces are being unlinked/linked immediately. Thus, After unlinking, dev->lower_level shouldn't be a parameter of spin_lock_nested(). A (macvlan) | B (vlan) | C (bridge) | D (macvlan) | E (vlan) | F (bridge) A->lower_level : 6 B->lower_level : 5 C->lower_level : 4 D->lower_level : 3 E->lower_level : 2 F->lower_level : 1 When an interface 'A' is removed, it releases resources. At this moment, netif_addr_lock() would be called. Then, netdev_upper_dev_unlink() is called recursively. Then dev->lower_level is updated. There is no problem. But, when the bridge module is removed, 'C' and 'F' interfaces are removed at once. If 'F' is removed first, a lower_level value is like below. A->lower_level : 5 B->lower_level : 4 C->lower_level : 3 D->lower_level : 2 E->lower_level : 1 F->lower_level : 1 Then, 'C' is removed. at this moment, netif_addr_lock() is called recursively. The ordering is like this. C(3)->D(2)->E(1)->F(1) At this moment, the lower_level value of 'E' and 'F' are the same. So, lockdep warns a possible deadlock scenario. In order to avoid this problem, a new variable 'nested_level' is added. This value is the same as dev->lower_level - 1. But this value is updated in rtnl_unlock(). So, this variable can be used as a parameter of spin_lock_nested() safely in the rtnl context.
