>
> This problem was fixed upstream by commit 9434266f2c64 ("sit: fix use after free
> of fb_tunnel_dev").
> The upstream patch depends on upstream commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of
> x-netns"), which was not backported into 3.10 branch.
>
> First, explain the problem: when the sit module is unloaded, sit_cleanup() is
> called.

> Because we cannot simply remove the second deletion (sit_exit_net() must remove
> the FB device when a netns is deleted), we add an rtnl ops which delete all sit
> device excepting the FB device and thus we can keep the explicit deletion in
> sit_exit_net().

This looks good to me. It is the same as the backport "sit: fix use
after free of fb_tunnel_dev" (9434266f2c64), minus the small code
cleanup at the end of that patch that is not relevant to 3.10.27 (do
not define sit_net *sitn in sit_exit_net if it is not used there. But in
3.10.27 it is used, in unregister_netdevice_queue).
