net: bridge: br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() should dereference the VLAN group under RCU
When calling the RCU brother of br_vlan_get_pvid(), lockdep warns: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.9.0-rc3-01631-g13c17acb8e38-dirty #814 Not tainted ----------------------------- net/bridge/br_private.h:1054 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage! Call trace: lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xd4/0xf8 __br_vlan_get_pvid+0xc0/0x100 br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu+0x78/0x108 The warning is because br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() calls nbp_vlan_group() which calls rtnl_dereference() instead of rcu_dereference(). In turn, rtnl_dereference() calls rcu_dereference_protected() which assumes operation under an RCU write-side critical section, which obviously is not the case here. So, when the incorrect primitive is used to access the RCU-protected VLAN group pointer, READ_ONCE() is not used, which may cause various unexpected problems. I'm sad to say that br_vlan_get_pvid() and br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() cannot share the same implementation. So fix the bug by splitting the 2 functions, and making br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() retrieve the VLAN groups under proper locking annotations.
