Commit 6664498280cf ("packet: call fanout_release, while UNREGISTERING a netdev"), unfortunately, introduced the following issues.
1. calling mutex_lock(&fanout_mutex) (fanout_release()) from inside rcu_read-side critical section. rcu_read_lock disables preemption, most often, which prohibits calling sleeping functions. [ ] include/linux/rcupdate.h:560 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section! [ ] [ ] rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 [ ] 4 locks held by ovs-vswitchd/1969: [ ] #0: (cb_lock){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8158a6c9>] genl_rcv+0x19/0x40 [ ] #1: (ovs_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa04878ca>] ovs_vport_cmd_del+0x4a/0x100 [openvswitch] [ ] #2: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81564157>] rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20 [ ] #3: (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: [<ffffffff81614165>] packet_notifier+0x5/0x3f0 [ ] [ ] Call Trace: [ ] [<ffffffff813770c1>] dump_stack+0x85/0xc4 [ ] [<ffffffff810c9077>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x107/0x110 [ ] [<ffffffff810a2da7>] ___might_sleep+0x57/0x210 [ ] [<ffffffff810a2fd0>] __might_sleep+0x70/0x90 [ ] [<ffffffff8162e80c>] mutex_lock_nested+0x3c/0x3a0 [ ] [<ffffffff810de93f>] ? vprintk_default+0x1f/0x30 [ ] [<ffffffff81186e88>] ? printk+0x4d/0x4f [ ] [<ffffffff816106dd>] fanout_release+0x1d/0xe0 [ ] [<ffffffff81614459>] packet_notifier+0x2f9/0x3f0 2. calling mutex_lock(&fanout_mutex) inside spin_lock(&po->bind_lock).

[ ] BUG: scheduling while atomic: ovs-vswitchd/1969/0x00000002 [ ] INFO: lockdep is turned off.

To fix the above problems, remove the call to fanout_release() under rcu_read_lock(). Instead, call __dev_remove_pack(&fanout->prot_hook) and netdev_run_todo will be happy that &dev->ptype_specific list is empty. In order to achieve this, I moved dev_{add,remove}_pack() out of fanout_{add,release} to __fanout_{link,unlink}. So, call to {,__}unregister_prot_hook() will make sure fanout->prot_hook is removed as well.
