Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] bonding: fix system hang due to fast igmp timer rescheduling
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:44:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375227846-17761-1-git-send-email-nikolay@redhat.com> (raw)

From: "nikolay@redhat.com" <nikolay@redhat.com>

After commit 4aa5dee4d9 ("net: convert resend IGMP to notifier event")
we try to acquire rtnl in bond_resend_igmp_join_requests but it can be
scheduled with rtnl already held (e.g. when bond_change_active_slave is
called with rtnl) causing a loop of immediate reschedules + calls because
rtnl_trylock fails each time since it's being already held.
For me this issue leads to system hangs very easy:
modprobe bonding; ifconfig bond0 up; ifenslave bond0 eth0; rmmod
bonding;

The fix is to introduce a small (1 jiffy) delay which is enough for the
sections holding rtnl to finish without putting any strain on the system.
Also adjust the timer in bond_change_active_slave to be 1 jiffy, since
most of the time it's called with rtnl already held.

v2: adjust bond_change_active_slave's mcast_work delay to 1 jiffy because
it's called with rtnl held most of the time as Jay suggested
