Subject: openvswitch: defer tunnel netdev_put to RCU release
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc6~40^2~27
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6931d21f87bc6d657f145798fad0bf077b82486c;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

openvswitch: defer tunnel netdev_put to RCU release

ovs_netdev_tunnel_destroy() may run after NETDEV_UNREGISTER already
detached the device. Dropping the netdev reference in destroy can race
with concurrent readers that still observe vport->dev.

Do not release vport->dev in ovs_netdev_tunnel_destroy(). Instead, let
vport_netdev_free() drop the reference from the RCU callback, matching
the non-tunnel destroy path and avoiding additional synchronization
under RTNL.

Fixes: a9020fde67a6 ("openvswitch: Move tunnel destroy function to oppenvswitch module.")
