[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH net v2] ipv6: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip6mr

[madhuparnabhowmik10]

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@gmail.com>

This patch fixes the following warning:

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.7.0-rc4-next-20200507-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
-----------------------------
net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:124 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

ipmr_new_table() returns an existing table, but there is no table at
init. Therefore the condition: either holding rtnl or the list is empty
is used.

Fixes: d1db275dd3f6e ("ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@gmail.com>
