Ridge Kennedy 12d656af4e l2tp: Avoid schedule while atomic in exit_net
While destroying a network namespace that contains a L2TP tunnel a
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" can be observed.

Enabling lockdep shows that this is happening because l2tp_exit_net()
is calling l2tp_tunnel_closeall() (via l2tp_tunnel_delete()) from
within an RCU critical section.

l2tp_exit_net() takes rcu_read_lock_bh()
  << list_for_each_entry_rcu() >>
  l2tp_tunnel_delete()
    l2tp_tunnel_closeall()
      __l2tp_session_unhash()
        synchronize_rcu() << Illegal inside RCU critical section >>

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 86, name: kworker/u16:2

This bug can easily be reproduced with a few steps:

 $ sudo unshare -n bash  # Create a shell in a new namespace
 # ip link set lo up
 # ip addr add 127.0.0.1 dev lo
 # ip l2tp add tunnel remote 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.1 tunnel_id 1 \
    peer_tunnel_id 1 udp_sport 50000 udp_dport 50000
 # ip l2tp add session name foo tunnel_id 1 session_id 1 \
    peer_session_id 1
 # ip link set foo up
 # exit  # Exit the shell, in turn exiting the namespace
 $ dmesg
 ...
 [942121.089216] BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u16:3/13872/0x00000200
 ...

To fix this, move the call to l2tp_tunnel_closeall() out of the RCU
critical section, and instead call it from l2tp_tunnel_del_work(), which
is running from the l2tp_wq workqueue.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
