macvlan: fix passthru mode race between dev removal and rx path
Currently, if macvlan in passthru mode is created and data are rxed and
you remove this device, following panic happens:
NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000198
IP: [<ffffffffa0196058>] macvlan_handle_frame+0x153/0x1f7 [macvlan]
I'm using following script to trigger this:
<script>
while [ 1 ]
do
ip link add link e1 name macvtap0 type macvtap mode passthru
ip link set e1 up
ip link set macvtap0 up
IFINDEX=`ip link |grep macvtap0 | cut -f 1 -d ':'`
cat /dev/tap$IFINDEX >/dev/null &
ip link del dev macvtap0
done
</script>
I run this script while "ping -f" is running on another machine to send
packets to e1 rx.
Reason of the panic is that list_first_entry() is blindly called in
macvlan_handle_frame() even if the list was empty. vlan is set to
incorrect pointer which leads to the crash.
I'm fixing this by protecting port->vlans list by rcu and by preventing
from getting incorrect pointer in case the list is empty.
