[ Upstream commit dbd40f318cf2f59759bd170c401adc20ba360a3e ]
Since commit 63ed8de4be ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting
per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected
by inet6_dev->mc_lock.
RTNL is unnecessary in terms of protection but still needed for
synchronisation between addrconf_ifdown() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().
Once we removed RTNL, there would be a race below, where we could
add a multicast address to a dead inet6_dev.
CPU1 CPU2
==== ====
addrconf_ifdown() __ipv6_dev_mc_inc()
if (idev->dead) <-- false
dead = true return -ENODEV;
ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down()
mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock)
...
mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock)
mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock)
...
mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock)
The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev->dead
under inet6_dev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown()
will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead.
Let's check inet6_dev->dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().
Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and
we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above
addrconf_join_solict().

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.
