devlink: Fix netdev notifier chain corruption
Cited commit changed devlink to register its netdev notifier block on the global netdev notifier chain instead of on the per network namespace one. However, when changing the network namespace of the devlink instance, devlink still tries to unregister its notifier block from the chain of the old namespace and register it on the chain of the new namespace. This results in corruption of the notifier chains, as the same notifier block is registered on two different chains: The global one and the per network namespace one. In turn, this causes other problems such as the inability to dismantle namespaces due to netdev reference count issues. Fix by preventing devlink from moving its notifier block between namespaces. Reproducer: # echo "10 1" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device # ip netns add test123 # devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim10 netns test123 # ip netns del test123 [ 71.935619] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 71.938348] leaked reference.
