    team: don't call netdev_change_features under team->lock · f6988cb6
    Ivan Vecera 提交于
    The team_device_event() notifier calls team_compute_features() to fix
    vlan_features under team->lock to protect team->port_list. The problem is
    that subsequent __team_compute_features() calls netdev_change_features()
    to propagate vlan_features to upper vlan devices while team->lock is still
    taken. This can lead to deadlock when NETIF_F_LRO is modified on lower
    devices or team device itself.
    
    Example:
    The team0 as active backup with eth0 and eth1 NICs. Both eth0 & eth1 are
    LRO capable and LRO is enabled. Thus LRO is also enabled on team0.
    
    The command 'ethtool -K team0 lro off' now hangs due to this deadlock:
    
    dev_ethtool()
    -> ethtool_set_features()
     -> __netdev_update_features(team)
      -> netdev_sync_lower_features()
       -> netdev_update_features(lower_1)
        -> __netdev_update_features(lower_1)
        -> netdev_features_change(lower_1)
         -> call_netdevice_notifiers(...)
          -> team_device_event(lower_1)
           -> team_compute_features(team) [TAKES team->lock]
            -> netdev_change_features(team)
             -> __netdev_update_features(team)
              -> netdev_sync_lower_features()
               -> netdev_update_features(lower_2)
                -> __netdev_update_features(lower_2)
                -> netdev_features_change(lower_2)
                 -> call_netdevice_notifiers(...)
                  -> team_device_event(lower_2)
                   -> team_compute_features(team) [DEADLOCK]
    
    The bug is present in team from the beginning but it appeared after the commit
    fd867d51 (net/core: generic support for disabling netdev features down stack)
    that adds synchronization of features with lower devices.
