[PATCH v2] net: ipmr: fix suspicious RCU warning

From: Anders Roxell
Date: Wed Nov 20 2019 - 10:23:11 EST


When booting an arm64 allmodconfig kernel on linux-next next-20191115
The following "suspicious RCU usage" warning shows up. This bug seems
to have been introduced by commit f0ad0860d01e ("ipv4: ipmr: support
multiple tables") in 2010, but the warning was added only in this past
year by commit 28875945ba98 ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU
reader checking").

This commit therefore holds RTNL mutex around the problematic code path,
which is function ipmr_rules_init() in ipmr_net_init(). This commit
also adds a lockdep_rtnl_is_held() check to the ipmr_for_each_table()
macro.
