team: don't call netdev_change_features under team->lock
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.
