Subject: bridge: fix lockdep addr_list_lock false positive splat
commit c6894dec8ea9ae05747124dce98b3b5c2e69b168 upstream.
After promisc mode management was introduced a bridge device could do
dev_set_promiscuity from its ndo_change_rx_flags() callback which in
turn can be called after the bridge's addr_list_lock has been taken
(e.g. by dev_uc_add). This causes a false positive lockdep splat because
the port interfaces' addr_list_lock is taken when br_manage_promisc()
runs after the bridge's addr list lock was already taken.
To remove the false positive introduce a custom bridge addr_list_lock
class and set it on bridge init.
A simple way to reproduce this is with the following:
$ brctl addbr br0
$ ip l add l br0 br0.100 type vlan id 100
$ ip l set br0 up
$ ip l set br0.100 up
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_filtering
$ brctl addif br0 eth0
Splat:
