From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c62987bbd8a1 ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev") introduced a timer race condition because the gc_timer can get rearmed after it's supposedly stopped and flushed in br_dev_delete() leading to a use of freed memory. So take rtnl to sync with bridge destruction when setting ageing_timer. Here's the trace reproduced with these two commands running in parallel: while :; do echo 10000 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/ageing_timer; done; while :; do brctl addbr br0; ip l set br0 up; ip l set br0 down; brctl delbr br0; done; [ 300.000029] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff811c59d3 [ 300.000263] IP: [<ffffffff810f168e>] __internal_add_timer+0x2e/0xd0 [ 300.000422] PGD 1a0f067 PUD 1a10063 PMD 10001e1 [ 300.000639] Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP [ 300.000793] Modules linked in: bridge stp llc nfsd auth_rpcgss oid_registry nfs_acl nfs lockd grace fscache sunrpc crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel ppdev aesni_intel aes_x86_64 glue_helper lrw gf128mul ablk_helper cryptd snd_hda_codec_generic qxl drm_kms_helper psmouse pcspkr ttm snd_hda_intel 9pnet_virtio evdev serio_raw joydev snd_hda_codec 9pnet virtio_balloon drm snd_hwdep virtio_console snd_hda_core pvpanic snd_pcm i2c_piix4 snd_timer acpi_cpufreq parport_pc snd parport soundcore button processor i2c_core ipv6 autofs4 hid_generic usbhid hid ext4 crc16 mbcache jbd2 sg sr_mod cdrom ata_generic virtio_blk virtio_net e1000 ehci_pci uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore usb_common floppy ata_piix libata virtio_pci virtio_ring virtio scsi_mod [ 300.004008] CPU: 1 PID: 1169 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.3.0-rc3+ #46 [ 300.004008] Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 [ 300.004008] task: ffff880035be2200 ti: ffff88003795c000 task.ti: ffff88003795c000 [ 300.004008] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810f168e>] [<ffffffff810f168e>] __internal_add_timer+0x2e/0xd0 [ 300.004008] RSP: 0018:ffff88003fd03e78 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 300.004008] RAX: ffff88003fd0ef60 RBX: 840fc78949c08548 RCX: 00000001ffffffff [ 300.004008] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff811c59d3 RDI: ffff88003fd0df00 [ 300.004008] RBP: ffff88003fd03e78 R08: 00000000ffffffff R09: 0000000000000000 [ 300.004008] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88003fd0df00 [ 300.004008] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: ffffffff816032e0 [ 300.004008] FS: 00007fcbdd609700(0000) GS:ffff88003fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 300.004008] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 300.004008] CR2: ffffffff811c59d3 CR3: 0000000037879000 CR4: 00000000000406e0 [ 300.004008] Stack: [ 300.004008] ffff88003fd03ea8 ffffffff810f1775 ffff88003c8cb958 ffff88003fd0df00 [ 300.004008] 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffff88003fd03f18 ffffffff810f28c4 [ 300.004008] ffff88003fd0eb68 ffff88003fd0e968 ffff88003fd0e768 ffff88003fd0df68 [ 300.004008] Call Trace: [ 300.004008] <IRQ> [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff810f1775>] cascade+0x45/0x70 [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff810f28c4>] run_timer_softirq+0x2f4/0x340 [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff8107e380>] __do_softirq+0xd0/0x440 [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff8107e8a3>] irq_exit+0xb3/0xc0 [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff815c2032>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x42/0x50 [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff815bfe37>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x87/0x90 [ 300.004008] <EOI> [ 300.004008] [<ffffffff811fb80c>] ?
