From 7b3fd6323dfc9d66d4506d4363ce7f2ed1d8cf81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2023 18:26:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix lock assert after fragmentation change The automatic recalculation of the maximum allowed MTU is usually triggered by code sections which are already rtnl lock protected by callers outside of batman-adv. But when the fragmentation setting is changed via batman-adv's own batadv genl family, then the rtnl lock is not yet taken. But dev_set_mtu requires that the caller holds the rtnl lock because it uses netdevice notifiers. And this code will then fail the check for this lock: RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (1953) Fixes: 12577be7ed67 ("batman-adv: Merge bugfixes from 2023.2") Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann --- ...x-batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send-memory-leak.patch | 35 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+) create mode 100644 batman-adv/patches/0020-batman-adv-Fix-batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send-memory-leak.patch diff --git a/batman-adv/patches/0020-batman-adv-Fix-batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send-memory-leak.patch b/batman-adv/patches/0020-batman-adv-Fix-batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send-memory-leak.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000..295a203 --- /dev/null +++ b/batman-adv/patches/0020-batman-adv-Fix-batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send-memory-leak.patch @@ -0,0 +1,35 @@ +From: Sven Eckelmann +Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2023 21:48:48 +0200 +Subject: batman-adv: Hold rtnl lock during MTU update via netlink + +The automatic recalculation of the maximum allowed MTU is usually triggered +by code sections which are already rtnl lock protected by callers outside +of batman-adv.
