IB/IPoIB: Fix race between ipoib_remove_one to sysfs functions
In ipoib_remove_one the driver holds the rtnl_lock and tries to do some operation like dev_change_flags or unregister_netdev, while sysfs callback like ipoib_vlan_delete holds sysfs mutex and tries to hold the rtnl_lock via rtnl_trylock() and restart_syscall() if the lock is not free, meanwhile ipoib_remove_one tries to get the sysfs lock in order to free its sysfs directory, and we will get a->b, b->a deadlock. Trace like the following: schedule+0x37/0x80 schedule_preempt_disabled+0xe/0x10 __mutex_lock_slowpath+0xb5/0x120 mutex_lock+0x23/0x40 rtnl_lock+0x15/0x20 netdev_run_todo+0x17c/0x320 rtnl_unlock+0xe/0x10 ipoib_vlan_delete+0x11b/0x1b0 [ib_ipoib] delete_child+0x54/0x80 [ib_ipoib] dev_attr_store+0x18/0x30 sysfs_kf_write+0x37/0x40 mutex_lock+0x16/0x40 SyS_write+0x55/0xc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x16/0x75 And schedule+0x37/0x80 __kernfs_remove+0x1a8/0x260 ? wake_atomic_t_function+0x60/0x60 kernfs_remove+0x25/0x40 sysfs_remove_dir+0x50/0x80 kobject_del+0x18/0x50 device_del+0x19f/0x260 netdev_unregister_kobject+0x6a/0x80 rollback_registered_many+0x1fd/0x340 rollback_registered+0x3c/0x70 unregister_netdevice_queue+0x55/0xc0 unregister_netdev+0x20/0x30 ipoib_remove_one+0x114/0x1b0 [ib_ipoib] ib_unregister_client+0x4a/0x170 [ib_core] ? find_module_all+0x71/0xa0 ipoib_cleanup_module+0x10/0x94 [ib_ipoib] SyS_delete_module+0x1b5/0x210 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x16/0x75 The fix is by checking the flag IPOIB_FLAG_INTF_ON_DESTROY in order to get out from the sysfs function.
