mainlining shenanigans
Shuang Li reported an QinQ issue by simply doing: # ip link add dummy0 type dummy # ip link add link dummy0 name dummy0.1 type vlan id 1 # ip link add link dummy0.1 name dummy0.1.2 type vlan id 2 # rmmod 8021q unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0.1 to become free. Usage count = 1 When rmmods 8021q, all vlan devs are deleted from their real_dev's vlan grp and added into list_kill by unregister_vlan_dev(). dummy0.1 is unregistered before dummy0.1.2, as it's using for_each_netdev() in __rtnl_kill_links(). When unregisters dummy0.1, dummy0.1.2 is not unregistered in the event of NETDEV_UNREGISTER, as it's been deleted from dummy0.1's vlan grp. However, due to dummy0.1.2 still holding dummy0.1, dummy0.1 will keep waiting in netdev_wait_allrefs(), while dummy0.1.2 will never get unregistered and release dummy0.1, as it delays dev_put until calling dev->priv_destructor, vlan_dev_free().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
