    l2tp: Avoid schedule while atomic in exit_net · 12d656af
    Ridge Kennedy authored
    While destroying a network namespace that contains a L2TP tunnel a
    "BUG: scheduling while atomic" can be observed.
    
    Enabling lockdep shows that this is happening because l2tp_exit_net()
    is calling l2tp_tunnel_closeall() (via l2tp_tunnel_delete()) from
    within an RCU critical section.
    
    l2tp_exit_net() takes rcu_read_lock_bh()
      << list_for_each_entry_rcu() >>
      l2tp_tunnel_delete()
        l2tp_tunnel_closeall()
          __l2tp_session_unhash()
            synchronize_rcu() << Illegal inside RCU critical section >>
    
    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

    This bug can easily be reproduced with a few steps:
    
     $ sudo unshare -n bash  # Create a shell in a new namespace
     # ip link set lo up
     # ip addr add 127.0.0.1 dev lo
     # ip l2tp add tunnel remote 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.1 tunnel_id 1 \
        peer_tunnel_id 1 udp_sport 50000 udp_dport 50000
     # ip l2tp add session name foo tunnel_id 1 session_id 1 \
        peer_session_id 1
     # ip link set foo up
     # exit  # Exit the shell, in turn exiting the namespace
     $ dmesg
     ...
     [942121.089216] BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u16:3/13872/0x00000200
     ...
    
    To fix this, move the call to l2tp_tunnel_closeall() out of the RCU
    critical section, and instead call it from l2tp_tunnel_del_work(), which
    is running from the l2tp_wq workqueue.
