qeth: suspicious rcu_dereference_check in recovery
qeth layer3 recovery invokes its set_multicast_list function, which invokes function __vlan_find_dev_deep requiring rcu_read_lock or rtnl lock. This causes kernel messages: kernel: [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] kernel: --------------------------------------------------- kernel: net/8021q/vlan_core.c:70 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! kernel: stack backtrace: kernel: CPU: 0 Not tainted 3.1.0 #9 kernel: Process qeth_recover (pid: 2078, task: 000000007e584680, ksp: 000000007e3e3930) kernel: 000000007e3e3d08 000000007e3e3c88 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 kernel: 000000007e3e3d28 000000007e3e3ca0 000000007e3e3ca0 00000000005e77ce kernel: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000001 kernel: 000000000000000d 000000000000000c 000000007e3e3cf0 0000000000000000 kernel: 0000000000000000 0000000000100a18 000000007e3e3c88 000000007e3e3cc8 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: ([<0000000000100926>] show_trace+0xee/0x144) kernel: [<00000000005d395c>] __vlan_find_dev_deep+0xb0/0x108 kernel: [<00000000004acd3a>] qeth_l3_set_multicast_list+0x976/0xe38 kernel: [<00000000004ae0f4>] __qeth_l3_set_online+0x75c/0x1498 kernel: [<00000000004aefec>] qeth_l3_recover+0xc4/0x1d0 kernel: [<0000000000185372>] kthread+0xa6/0xb0 kernel: [<00000000005ed4c6>] kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc kernel: [<00000000005ed4c0>] kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc The patch makes sure the rtnl lock is held once qeth recovery invokes its set_multicast_list function.
