net: openvswitch: Avoid needlessly taking the RTNL on vport destroy

2026-01-19T12:11:53Z

[ Upstream commit 5498227676303e3ffa9a3a46214af96bc3e81314 ] The openvswitch teardown code will immediately call ovs_netdev_detach_dev() in response to a NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification. It will then start the dp_notify_work workqueue, which will later end up calling the vport destroy() callback. This callback takes the RTNL to do another ovs_netdev_detach_port(), which in this case is unnecessary. This causes extra pressure on the RTNL, in some cases leading to "unregister_netdevice: waiting for XX to become free" warnings on teardown. We can straight-forwardly avoid the extra RTNL lock acquisition by checking the device flags before taking the lock, and skip the locking altogether if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag has already been unset.

openvswitch: fix hangup on vxlan/gre/geneve device deletion

2015-12-03T19:29:25Z

Each openvswitch tunnel vport (vxlan,gre,geneve) holds a reference to the underlying tunnel device, but never released it when such device is deleted. Deleting the underlying device via the ip tool cause the kernel to hangup in the netdev_wait_allrefs() loop. This commit ensure that on device unregistration dp_detach_port_notify() is called for all vports that hold the device reference, properly releasing it.
