Before commit ad2f99a ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of .ndo_do_ioctl") the bridge ioctl calls were divided in two parts: one was deviceless called by sock_ioctl and didn't expect rtnl to be held, the other was with a device called by dev_ifsioc() and expected rtnl to be held. After the commit above they were united in a single ioctl stub, but it didn't take care of the locking expectations. For sock_ioctl now we acquire (1) br_ioctl_mutex, (2) rtnl and for dev_ifsioc we acquire (1) rtnl, (2) br_ioctl_mutex The fix is to get a refcnt on the netdev for dev_ifsioc calls and drop rtnl then to reacquire it in the bridge ioctl stub after br_ioctl_mutex has been acquired. That will avoid playing locking games and make the rules straight-forward: we always take br_ioctl_mutex first, and then rtnl.
