Subject: [PATCH net v5 1/2] net: cpsw_new: Execute ndo_set_rx_mode callback in a work queue
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2026 10:18:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203-bbb-v5-1-ea0ea217a85c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203-bbb-v5-0-ea0ea217a85c@gmail.com>

Commit 1767bb2d47b7 ("ipv6: mcast: Don't hold RTNL for
IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and MCAST_JOIN_GROUP.") removed the RTNL lock for
IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and MCAST_JOIN_GROUP operations. However, this
change triggered the following call trace on my BeagleBone Black board:
  WARNING: net/8021q/vlan_core.c:236 at vlan_for_each+0x120/0x124, CPU#0: rpcbind/496
  RTNL: assertion failed at net/8021q/vlan_core.c (236)
  Modules linked in:

   do_sock_setsockopt from __sys_setsockopt+0x84/0xac
   __sys_setsockopt from ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x5

This trace occurs because vlan_for_each() is called within
cpsw_ndo_set_rx_mode(), which expects the RTNL lock to be held.
Since modifying vlan_for_each() to operate without the RTNL lock is not
straightforward, and because ndo_set_rx_mode() is invoked both with and
without the RTNL lock across different code paths, simply adding
rtnl_lock() in cpsw_ndo_set_rx_mode() is not a viable solution.

To resolve this issue, we opt to execute the actual processing within
a work queue, following the approach used by the icssg-prueth driver.

Fixes: 1767bb2d47b7 ("ipv6: mcast: Don't hold RTNL for IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and MCAST_JOIN_GROUP.")
