Subject: [PATCH v1 net] amt: Don't support cross-netns setup.
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 02:03:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807020326.2519445-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)

When a lower device is unregistered, amt_device_event() tries
to unregister its upper AMT device, but it has two problems.

  1. amt_lookup_upper_dev() looks up an upper device in the
      lower device's netns only

  2. amt_device_event() unregisters a single upper device only

If AMT device is created on a lower device in another netns,
removing the lower device triggers the splat below and gets
stuck until all upper devices are removed. [0]

The cross-netns setup seems unintentional considering 1. and
the following points:

  * amt_link_setup() sets dev->netns_immutable to true
  * skb_scrub_packet() is not called in the fast path
  * iproute2 binary fails to find cross-netns lower device via
    link-netns:
      # ip -n ns1 link add amt0 link-netns ns2 type amt dev veth1
      Cannot find device "veth1"

Instead of supporting it properly and preparing for per-netns
netdev unreg, let's forbid cross-netns setup.

Note that the problem 2. needs a separate fix.
