[PATCH] net: Fix hang while unregistering device bound to xdp socket

From: Ilya Maximets
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 08:44:30 EST


Device that bound to XDP socket will not have zero refcount until the
userspace application will not close it. This leads to hang inside
'netdev_wait_allrefs()' if device unregistering requested:

# ip link del p1
< hang on recvmsg on netlink socket >

# ps -x | grep ip
5126 pts/0 D+ 0:00 ip link del p1

# journalctl -b

Jun 05 07:19:16 kernel:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for p1 to become free. Usage count = 1

Jun 05 07:19:27 kernel:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for p1 to become free. Usage count = 1
...

Fix that by counting XDP references for the device and failing
RTM_DELLINK with EBUSY if device is still in use by any XDP socket.

With this change:

# ip link del p1
RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy

Fixes: 965a99098443 ("xsk: add support for bind for Rx")

Another option could be to force closing all the corresponding AF_XDP
sockets, but I didn't figure out how to do this properly yet.
