      netlink: genl: fix circular locking · 6d1a3fb5
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
      families:
      
      - dump start:
      genl_rcv()            : take genl_mutex
      genl_rcv_msg()        : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
      netlink_dump_start(),
      netlink_dump()        : take nlk->cb_mutex
      ctrl_dumpfamily()     : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
                              second time
      
      - dump continuance:
      netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
      netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
      ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex
      
      Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
      widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
      dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
      seperate fix for this.
