From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c026d970102e9af9958edefb4a015702c6aab636 ] The notifier_call() of the slave interface removes rmnet interface with unregister_netdevice_queue(). But, before calling unregister_netdevice_queue(), it acquires rcu readlock. In the RCU critical section, sleeping isn't be allowed. But, unregister_netdevice_queue() internally calls synchronize_net(), which would sleep. So, suspicious RCU usage warning occurs. Test commands: modprobe rmnet ip link add dummy0 type dummy ip link add dummy1 type dummy ip link add rmnet0 link dummy0 type rmnet mux_id 1 ip link set dummy1 master rmnet0 ip link del dummy0 Splat looks like: [ 79.639245][ T1195] ============================= [ 79.640134][ T1195] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage [ 79.640852][ T1195] 5.6.0-rc1+ #447 Not tainted [ 79.641657][ T1195] ----------------------------- [ 79.642472][ T1195] ./include/linux/rcupdate.h:273 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section!
