[ Upstream commitdbd40f318c] Since commit63ed8de4be("mld: add mc_lock for protecting per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected by inet6_dev->mc_lock. RTNL is unnecessary in terms of protection but still needed for synchronisation between addrconf_ifdown() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc(). Once we removed RTNL, there would be a race below, where we could add a multicast address to a dead inet6_dev. CPU1 CPU2 ==== ==== addrconf_ifdown() __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() if (idev->dead) <-- false dead = true return -ENODEV; ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down() mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock) ... mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock) mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock) ... mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock) The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev->dead under inet6_dev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown() will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead. Let's check inet6_dev->dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc(). Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above addrconf_join_solict().
