It's a terrible thing to hold dev in iptables target. When the dev is being removed, unregister_netdevice has to wait for the dev to become free. dmesg will keep logging the err: kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth0_in to become free. \ Usage count = 1 until iptables rules with this target are removed manually. The worse thing is when deleting a netns, a virtual nic will be deleted instead of reset to init_net in default_device_ops exit/exit_batch. As it is earlier than to flush the iptables rules in iptable_filter_net_ops exit, unregister_netdevice will block to wait for the nic to become free. As unregister_netdevice is actually waiting for iptables rules flushing while iptables rules have to be flushed after unregister_netdevice. This 'dead lock' will cause unregister_netdevice to block there forever. As the netns is not available to operate at that moment, iptables rules can not even be flushed manually either. The reproducer can be: # ip netns add test # ip link add veth0_in type veth peer name veth0_out # ip link set veth0_in netns test # ip netns exec test ip link set lo up # ip netns exec test ip link set veth0_in up # ip netns exec test iptables -I INPUT -d 1.2.3.4 -i veth0_in -j \ CLUSTERIP --new --clustermac 89:d4:47:eb:9a:fa --total-nodes 3 \ --local-node 1 --hashmode sourceip-sourceport # ip netns del test This issue can be triggered by all virtual nics with ipt_CLUSTERIP. This patch is to fix it by not holding dev in ipt_CLUSTERIP, but saving the dev->ifindex instead of the dev. As Pablo Neira Ayuso's suggestion, it will refresh c->ifindex and dev's mc by registering a netdevice notifier, just as what xt_TEE does. So it removes the old codes updating dev's mc, and also no need to initialize c->ifindex with dev->ifindex. But as one config can be shared by more than one targets, and the netdev notifier is per config, not per target. It couldn't get e->ip.iniface in the notifier handler. So e->ip.iniface has to be saved into config. Note that for backwards compatibility, this patch doesn't remove the codes checking if the dev exists before creating a config. v1->v2: - As Pablo Neira Ayuso's suggestion, register a netdevice notifier to manage c->ifindex and dev's mc.
