Hi,
While testing linux 5.4 with the l2tp test I discovered two kernel
issues when running this test:
1. About 10+ seconds after completing the test one can observe periodic
kernel log messages from netdev_wait_allrefs (in net/core/dev.c) in the
form:
"unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1"
2. Our regression tests that ran stress-ng after this test picked up
another issue that causes socket() to hang indefinitely. I've managed
to get this down to a simple reproducer as follows:
sudo modprobe l2tp_core
sudo ./linux/tools/testing/selftests/net/l2tp.sh
sleep 5
./close
Where ./close is an executable compiled from:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int fd;
printf("calling socket..\n");
fd = socket(AF_APPLETALK, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
printf("socket returned: %d\n", fd);
}
The code will hang on the socket() call and won't ever get to the final
print statement.
If one runs the reproducer on earlier kernels we get:
4.6.7 crash (see dmesg below)
4.7.10 crash in xfrm6_dst_ifdown
4.8.17 crash in xfrm6_dst_ifdown
4.12.14 crash (see dmesg below)
4.13.16 reports "unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free.
Usage count = 2"
4.14.157 reports "unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free.
Usage count = 2""
4.15.18 .. 5.4 hangs on socket() call
Note: functionality for the l2tp test is not available for pre-4.6 kernels.
The crashes I get for older kernels are:

So all in all, the test is great for finding bugs. I thought I should
flag these issues up.
