net_sched: fix RTNL deadlock again caused by request_module()
commit d349f99 upstream. tcf_action_init_1() loads tc action modules automatically with request_module() after parsing the tc action names, and it drops RTNL lock and re-holds it before and after request_module(). This causes a lot of troubles, as discovered by syzbot, because we can be in the middle of batch initializations when we create an array of tc actions. One of the problem is deadlock: CPU 0 CPU 1 rtnl_lock(); for (...) { tcf_action_init_1(); -> rtnl_unlock(); -> request_module(); rtnl_lock(); for (...) { tcf_action_init_1(); -> tcf_idr_check_alloc(); // Insert one action into idr, // but it is not committed until // tcf_idr_insert_many(), then drop // the RTNL lock in the _next_ // iteration -> rtnl_unlock(); -> rtnl_lock(); -> a_o->init(); -> tcf_idr_check_alloc(); // Now waiting for the same index // to be committed -> request_module(); -> rtnl_lock() // Now waiting for RTNL lock } rtnl_unlock(); } rtnl_unlock(); This is not easy to solve, we can move the request_module() before this loop and pre-load all the modules we need for this netlink message and then do the rest initializations. So the loop breaks down to two now: for (i = 1; i <= TCA_ACT_MAX_PRIO && tb[i]; i++) { struct tc_action_ops *a_o; a_o = tc_action_load_ops(name, tb[i]...); ops[i - 1] = a_o; } for (i = 1; i <= TCA_ACT_MAX_PRIO && tb[i]; i++) { act = tcf_action_init_1(ops[i - 1]...); } Although this looks serious, it only has been reported by syzbot, so it seems hard to trigger this by humans. And given the size of this patch, I'd suggest to make it to net-next and not to backport to stable. This patch has been tested by syzbot and tested with tdc.py by me.
