[PATCH net RESEND] vlan: don't allow to add VLAN on VLAN device

From: Ding Tianhong
Date: Thu Feb 27 2014 - 21:43:45 EST


I run these steps:

modprobe 8021q
vconfig add eth2 20
vconfig add eth2.20 20
ifconfig eth2 xx.xx.xx.xx

then the Call Trace happened:

========================================================================

The reason is that if add vlan on vlan dev, the vlan dev will create vlan_info,
then the notification will let the real dev to run dev_set_rx_mode() and hold
netif_addr_lock, and then the real dev will call ndo_set_rx_mode(), if the real
dev is vlan dev, the ndo_set_rx_mode() will hold netif_addr_lock again, so deadlock
happened.

Don't allow to add vlan on vlan dev to fix this problem.
