net: dsa: avoid call to __dev_set_promiscuity() while rtnl_mutex isn't held
If the DSA master doesn't support IFF_UNICAST_FLT, then the following call path is possible: dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work -> dsa_port_host_fdb_add -> dev_uc_add -> __dev_set_rx_mode -> __dev_set_promiscuity Since the blamed commit, dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work() no longer holds rtnl_lock(), which triggers the ASSERT_RTNL() from __dev_set_promiscuity(). Taking rtnl_lock() around dev_uc_add() is impossible, because all the code paths that call dsa_flush_workqueue() do so from contexts where the rtnl_mutex is already held - so this would lead to an instant deadlock. dev_uc_add() in itself doesn't require the rtnl_mutex for protection. There is this comment in __dev_set_rx_mode() which assumes so: /* Unicast addresses changes may only happen under the rtnl, * therefore calling __dev_set_promiscuity here is safe. */ but it is from commit 4417da66 ("[NET]: dev: secondary unicast address support") dated June 2007, and in the meantime, commit f1f28aa3 ("netdev: Add addr_list_lock to struct net_device."), dated July 2008, has added &dev->addr_list_lock to protect this instead of the global rtnl_mutex. Nonetheless, __dev_set_promiscuity() does assume rtnl_mutex protection, but it is the uncommon path of what we typically expect dev_uc_add() to do. So since only the uncommon path requires rtnl_lock(), just check ahead of time whether dev_uc_add() would result into a call to __dev_set_promiscuity(), and handle that condition separately. DSA already configures the master interface to be promiscuous if the tagger requires this. We can extend this to also cover the case where the master doesn't handle dev_uc_add() (doesn't support IFF_UNICAST_FLT), and on the premise that we'd end up making it promiscuous during operation anyway, either if a DSA slave has a non-inherited MAC address, or if the bridge notifies local FDB entries for its own MAC address, the address of a station learned on a foreign port, etc. Fixes: 0faf890f ("net: dsa: drop rtnl_lock from dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work") Reported-by: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
