      net: dev: fix the incorrect hold of net namespace's lo device · 6549dd43
      Gao feng authored
      When moving a net device from one net namespace to another
      net namespace,dev_change_net_namespace calls NETDEV_DOWN
      event,so the original net namespace's dst entries which
      beloned to this net device will be put into dst_garbage
      list.
      
      then dev_change_net_namespace will set this net device's
      net to the new net namespace.
      
      If we unregister this net device's driver, this will trigger
      the NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event, dst_ifdown will be called,
      and get this net device's dst entries from dst_garbage list,
      put these entries' dev to the new net namespace's lo device.
      
      It's not what we want,actually we need these dst entries hold
      the original net namespace's lo device,this incorrect device
      holding will trigger emg message like below.
      unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
      
      so we should call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event in
      dev_change_net_namespace too,in order to make sure dst entries
      already in the dst_garbage list, we need rcu_barrier before we
      call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event.
      
      With help form Eric Dumazet.
