Subject: [PATCH net] lwtunnel: fix autoload of lwt modules
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 21:33:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1484631185-9428-1-git-send-email-dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> (raw)

Trying to add an mpls encap route when the MPLS modules are not loaded
hangs. For example:

    CONFIG_MPLS=y
    CONFIG_NET_MPLS_GSO=m
    CONFIG_MPLS_ROUTING=m
    CONFIG_MPLS_IPTUNNEL=m

    $ ip route add 10.10.10.10/32 encap mpls 100 via inet 10.100.1.2

The ip command hangs:
root       880   826  0 21:25 pts/0    00:00:00 ip route add 10.10.10.10/32 encap mpls 100 via inet 10.100.1.2

    $ cat /proc/880/stack
    [<ffffffff81065a9b>] call_usermodehelper_exec+0xd6/0x134
    [<ffffffff81065efc>] __request_module+0x27b/0x30a
    [<ffffffff814542f6>] lwtunnel_build_state+0xe4/0x178
    [<ffffffff814aa1e4>] fib_create_info+0x47f/0xdd4
    [<ffffffff814ae451>] fib_table_insert+0x90/0x41f
    [<ffffffff814a8010>] inet_rtm_newroute+0x4b/0x52
    ...

modprobe is trying to load rtnl-lwt-MPLS:

root       881     5  0 21:25 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/modprobe -q -- rtnl-lwt-MPLS

and it hangs after loading mpls_router:

    $ cat /proc/881/stack
    [<ffffffff81441537>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x14
    [<ffffffff8142ca2a>] register_netdevice_notifier+0x16/0x179
    [<ffffffffa0033025>] mpls_init+0x25/0x1000 [mpls_router]
    [<ffffffff81000471>] do_one_initcall+0x8e/0x13f
    [<ffffffff81119961>] do_init_module+0x5a/0x1e5
    [<ffffffff810bd070>] load_module+0x13bd/0x17d6
    ...

The problem is that lwtunnel_build_state is called with rtnl lock
held preventing mpls_init from registering. Fix by dropping the
lock before invoking request_module.
