From 90326945a4f4939725d32e62b8b31d0375950958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Feras Daoud Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 14:47:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] IB/ipoib: rtnl_unlock can not come after free_netdev commit 89a3987ab7a923c047c6dec008e60ad6f41fac22 upstream. The ipoib_vlan_add function calls rtnl_unlock after free_netdev, rtnl_unlock not only releases the lock, but also calls netdev_run_todo. The latter function browses the net_todo_list array and completes the unregistration of all its net_device instances. If we call free_netdev before rtnl_unlock, then netdev_run_todo call over the freed device causes panic. To fix, move rtnl_unlock call before free_netdev call.
