At Red Hat we base our real-time kernel off of 3.10.27 and do lots of
stress testing on that kernel. This has discovered some bugs that we
can hit with the vanilla 3.10.27 kernel (no -rt patches applied).
I sent out a bug fix that can cause a crash with the current 3.10.27
when you add and then remove the sit module. That patch is obsoleted by
these patches, as that patch was not enough.
Can you explain a bit more which problem remains after that patch?
I wonder if a problem remains also with ip6_tunnel.ko (net/ipv6/ip6_tunnel.c),
the same problem was spotted into this module.
A previous patch that was backported:
Upstream commit 205983c43700ac3a81e7625273a3fa83cd2759b5
sit: allow to use rtnl ops on fb tunnel
Had a depenency on commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of x-netns")
which was not backported. The dependency was only on part of that
commit which is what I backported.
I cannot comment directly the patch, it was an attachement, hence I put my
comments here.
In patch 0001-sit-Unregister-sit-devices-with-rtnl_link_ops.patch, I wonder how
'if (dev_net(t->dev) != net)' can be wrong. If commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add
support of x-netns") has not been backported, this test is always true.
The other upstream commit 9434266f2c645d4fcf62a03a8e36ad8075e37943
sit: fix use after free of fb_tunnel_dev
fixes another bug we encountered, it also fixes the 3.10.27 bug
where removing the sit module cause the crash. This is the patch
that obsoletes my previous patch.
