Subject: netlink: Call cb->done from a worker thread
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 707693c8a498697aa8db240b93eb76ec62e30892 ]
The cb->done interface expects to be called in process context.
This was broken by the netlink RCU conversion. This patch fixes
it by adding a worker struct to make the cb->done call where
necessary.
Fixes: 21e4902aea80 ("netlink: Lockless lookup with RCU grace...")
