bridge: fix lockdep addr_list_lock false positive splat
After promisc mode management was introduced a bridge device could do dev_set_promiscuity from its ndo_change_rx_flags() callback which in turn can be called after the bridge's addr_list_lock has been taken (e.g. by dev_uc_add). This causes a false positive lockdep splat because the port interfaces' addr_list_lock is taken when br_manage_promisc() runs after the bridge's addr list lock was already taken. To remove the false positive introduce a custom bridge addr_list_lock class and set it on bridge init. A simple way to reproduce this is with the following: $ brctl addbr br0 $ ip l add l br0 br0.100 type vlan id 100 $ ip l set br0 up $ ip l set br0.100 up $ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_filtering $ brctl addif br0 eth0 Splat: [ 43.684325] ============================================= [ 43.684485] [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] [ 43.684636] 4.4.0-rc8+ #54 Not tainted [ 43.684755] --------------------------------------...
