Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 6/6] ip6_gre: Support per-netns device unregistration.
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 23:02:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916230353.367014-7-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916230353.367014-1-kuniyu@google.com>
ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net() iterates ip6gre devices and variants whose
link_net is dying and queues them for destruction.
The devices may reside in different netns.
Let's use unregister_netdevice_queue_net() to support per-netns
device unregistration.
Even after ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net() queues a cross-netns ip6gre
device, ip6gre_changelink_common(), ip6gre_dellink(), and
ip6gre_tunnel_siocdevprivate() could be called concurrently for
it (once RTNL is removed). In such a case, __rtnl_net_unlock()
will perform the unregistration.
Also, ip6gre_tunnel_siocdevprivate() needs to check check_net(t->net),
otherwise it could create a new dev in dying netns after
ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net().
In the example below, we can see the fallback tunnel device
(ip6gre0) and the cross-netns device (ip6gre1) are unregistered
by different processes:
# bpftrace -e '#include <linux/netdevice.h>
kprobe:ip6gre_tunnel_uninit {
$dev = (struct net_device *)arg0;
printf("PID: %d | DEV: %s%s\n", pid, $dev->name, kstack());
}
kprobe:ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net {
printf("PID: %d%s\n", pid, kstack());
}' &
# ip netns add ns1
# ip netns add ns2
# ip -n ns1 link add name ip6gre1 link-netns ns2 \
type ip6gre local 2001:9292::1 remote 2001:9292::2
# ip netns del ns2
