[PATCH] gtp: disable BH before calling udp_tunnel_xmit_skb()

[David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>]

gtp_genl_send_echo_req() runs as a generic netlink doit handler in
process context with BH not disabled. It calls udp_tunnel_xmit_skb(),
which eventually invokes iptunnel_xmit() — that uses __this_cpu_inc/dec
on softnet_data.xmit.recursion to track the tunnel xmit recursion level.

Without local_bh_disable(), the task may migrate between
dev_xmit_recursion_inc() and dev_xmit_recursion_dec(), breaking the
per-CPU counter pairing. The result is stale or negative recursion
levels that can later produce false-positive
SKB_DROP_REASON_RECURSION_LIMIT drops on either CPU.

The other udp_tunnel_xmit_skb() call sites in gtp.c are unaffected:
the data path runs under ndo_start_xmit and the echo response handlers
run from the UDP encap rx softirq, both with BH already disabled.

Fix it by disabling BH around the udp_tunnel_xmit_skb() call, mirroring
commit 2cd7e6971fc2 ("sctp: disable BH before calling
udp_tunnel_xmit_skb()").

Fixes: 6f1a9140ecda ("net: add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions")
