bridge: use _bh spinlock variant for br_fdb_update to avoid lockup
br_fdb_update() can be called in process context in the following way: br_fdb_add() -> __br_fdb_add() -> br_fdb_update() (if NTF_USE flag is set) so we need to use spin_lock_bh because there are softirq users of the hash_lock. One easy way to reproduce this is to modify the bridge utility to set NTF_USE, enable stp and then set maxageing to a low value so br_fdb_cleanup() is called frequently and then just add new entries in a loop. This happens because br_fdb_cleanup() is called from timer/softirq context. These locks were _bh before commit f8ae737deea1 ("[BRIDGE]: forwarding remove unneeded preempt and bh diasables") and at the time that commit was correct because br_fdb_update() couldn't be called from process context, but that changed after commit: 292d1398983f ("bridge: add NTF_USE support") Signed-off-by: Wilson Kok <wkok@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Fixes: 292d1398983f ("bridge: add NTF_USE support") Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
