[PATCH net 0/2] net: Fix oops on state free after lwt module unload

This patchset fixes an oops in lwtstate_free and a memory leak that
would otherwise be exposed by ensuring that references are taken on
modules that need to stay around to clean up lwt state. To faciliate
this all ops that implement destroy_state and that can be configured
to build as a module are changed specify the owner module in the
ops. The intersection of those two sets is just ila at the moment.

When attempting to free lwtunnel state after the module for the encap
has been unloaded an oops occurs:

The problem is that we don't check for NULL ops in
lwtstate_free. Adding the check fixes the immediate problem but will
then won't properly clean up for ops that implement the
->destroy_state function if the implementing module has been unloaded,
resulting in memory leaks or other problems. So in addition, refcount
the module when the ops implements ->destroy_state so it can't be
unloaded while there is still state around.

If routes with lwt state are present when the ila module is unloaded
and then subsequently deleted, the dst cache entry in the state will
be leaked.

Fix this by specifying the owning module in the lwt ops to allow lwt
to take a reference for each route and to keep the module around until
the last ila route is deleted.

Two things:

1) Under no circumstances should we allow a lwtunnel ops implementing
   module to unload while there is a rule using those ops which is
   alive.

   Therefore, we should not special case the destroy op.  We should
   unconditionally grab the module reference.

2) Please add the new 'owner' field and add an appropriate assignment
   for ops->owner to _every_ lwtunnel implementation, and do so in
   your first patch.  Please do not only do this for ILA.

Thanks.

Very clear, makes sense, will do.

An oops is seen in lwtstate_free after an lwt ops module has been
unloaded. This patchset fixes this by preventing modules implementing
lwtunnel ops from being unloaded whilst there's state alive using
those ops. The first patch adds fills in a new owner field in all lwt
ops and the second patch makes use of this to reference count the
modules as state is built and destroyed using them.

Changes in v2:
 - specify module owner for all modules as suggested by DaveM
 - reference count all modules building lwt state, not just those ops
   implementing destroy_state, as also suggested by DaveM.
 - rebased on top of David Ahern's lwtunnel changes

The problem is after the module for the encap is unloaded the
corresponding ops is removed and thus is NULL here.

Modules implementing lwtunnel ops should not be allowed to unload
while there is state alive using those ops, so grab the module
reference for the ops on creating lwtunnel state and of course release
the reference when freeing the state.

If try_module_get() fails, 'ret' will still be -EOPNOTSUPP and we will
module_put() on a module we did not grab a reference to.

I think you need to adjust the logic here.  You only want to 'put' if
try_module_get() succeeds and ->build_state() returns an error.

Changes in v2:
 - specify module owner for all modules as suggested by DaveM
 - reference count all modules building lwt state, not just those ops
   implementing destroy_state, as also suggested by DaveM.
 - rebased on top of David Ahern's lwtunnel changes

2.1.4

From: Robert Shearman <redacted>

An oops is seen in lwtstate_free after an lwt ops module has been
unloaded. This patchset fixes this by preventing modules implementing
lwtunnel ops from being unloaded whilst there's state alive using
those ops. The first patch adds fills in a new owner field in all lwt
ops and the second patch makes use of this to reference count the
modules as state is built and destroyed using them.

Changes in v3:
 - don't put module reference if try_module_get fails on building state

Changes in v2:
 - specify module owner for all modules as suggested by DaveM
 - reference count all modules building lwt state, not just those ops
   implementing destroy_state, as also suggested by DaveM.
 - rebased on top of David Ahern's lwtunnel changes

Applied and queued up for -stable.

Thanks.
