When team mode is changed or set, the team_mode_get() is called to check whether the mode module is inserted or not. If the mode module is not inserted, it calls the request_module(). In the request_module(), it creates a child process, which is the "modprobe" process and waits for the done of the child process. At this point, the following locks were used. down_read(&cb_lock()); by genl_rcv() genl_lock(); by genl_rcv_msc() rtnl_lock(); by team_nl_cmd_options_set() mutex_lock(&team->lock); by team_nl_team_get() Concurrently, the team module could be removed by rmmod or "modprobe -r" The __exit function of team module is team_module_exit(), which calls team_nl_fini() and it tries to acquire following locks. down_write(&cb_lock); genl_lock(); Because of the genl_lock() and cb_lock, this process can't be finished earlier than request_module() routine. The problem secenario. CPU0 CPU1 team_mode_get request_module() modprobe -r team_mode_roundrobin team <--(B) modprobe team <--(A) team_mode_roundrobin By request_module(), the "modprobe team_mode_roundrobin" command will be executed. At this point, the modprobe process will decide that the team module should be inserted before team_mode_roundrobin. Because the team module is being removed. By the module infrastructure, the same module insert/remove operations can't be executed concurrently. So, (A) waits for (B) but (B) also waits for (A) because of locks. So that the hang occurs at this point. Test commands: while : do teamd -d & killall teamd & modprobe -rv team_mode_roundrobin & done The approach of this patch is to hold the reference count of the team module if the team module is compiled as a module. If the reference count of the team module is not zero while request_module() is being called, the team module will not be removed at that moment. So that the above scenario could not occur.
