Trying to add an mpls encap route when the MPLS modules are not loaded
hangs. For example:
CONFIG_MPLS=y
CONFIG_NET_MPLS_GSO=m
CONFIG_MPLS_ROUTING=m
CONFIG_MPLS_IPTUNNEL=m
$ ip route add 10.10.10.10/32 encap mpls 100 via inet 10.100.1.2
The ip command hangs:
root 880 826 0 21:25 pts/0 00:00:00 ip route add 10.10.10.10/32 encap mpls 100 via inet 10.100.1.2
$ cat /proc/880/stack
[<ffffffff81065a9b>] call_usermodehelper_exec+0xd6/0x134
[<ffffffff81065efc>] __request_module+0x27b/0x30a
[<ffffffff814542f6>] lwtunnel_build_state+0xe4/0x178

[<ffffffff814ae451>] fib_table_insert+0x90/0x41f
[<ffffffff814a8010>] inet_rtm_newroute+0x4b/0x52
...
modprobe is trying to load rtnl-lwt-MPLS:
root 881 5 0 21:25 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/modprobe -q -- rtnl-lwt-MPLS
and it hangs after loading mpls_router:
$ cat /proc/881/stack
[<ffffffff81441537>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x14
[<ffffffff8142ca2a>] register_netdevice_notifier+0x16/0x179
[<ffffffffa0033025>] mpls_init+0x25/0x1000 [mpls_router]
[<ffffffff81000471>] do_one_initcall+0x8e/0x13f
[<ffffffff81119961>] do_init_module+0x5a/0x1e5
[<ffffffff810bd070>] load_module+0x13bd/0x17d6
...
The problem is that lwtunnel_build_state is called with rtnl lock
held preventing mpls_init from registering.
Given the potential references held by the time lwtunnel_build_state it
can not drop the rtnl lock to the load module. So, extract the module
loading code from lwtunnel_build_state into a new function to validate
the encap type. The new function is called while converting the user
request into a fib_config which is well before any table, device or
fib entries are examined.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
