Lockdep found the following dependency:
&dev_instance_lock_key#3 -->
&rdev->wiphy.mtx -->
&net->xdp.lock -->
&xs->mutex -->
&dev_instance_lock_key#3
The first dependency is the problem. wiphy mutex should be outside
the instance locks. The problem happens in notifiers (as always)
for CLOSE. We only hold the instance lock for ops locked devices
during CLOSE, and WiFi netdevs are not ops locked. Unfortunately,
when we dev_close_many() during netns dismantle we may be holding
the instance lock of _another_ netdev when issuing a CLOSE for
a WiFi device.
Lockdep's "Possible unsafe locking scenario" only prints 3 locks
and we have 4, plus I think we'd need 3 CPUs, like this:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
lock(&xs->mutex);
lock(&dev_instance_lock_key#3);
lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
lock(&net->xdp.lock);
lock(&xs->mutex);
lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
lock(&dev_instance_lock_key#3);
Tho, I don't think that's possible as CPU1 and CPU2 would
be under rtnl_lock. Even if we have per-netns rtnl_lock and
wiphy can span network namespaces - CPU0 and CPU1 must be
in the same netns to see dev_instance_lock, so CPU0 can't
be installing a socket as CPU1 is tearing the netns down.
Regardless, our expected lock ordering is that wiphy lock
is taken before instance locks, so let's fix this.
Go over the ops locked and non-locked devices separately.
Note that calling dev_close_many() on an empty list is perfectly
fine. All processing (including RCU syncs) are conditional
on the list not being empty, already.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
