sit: fix double free of fb_tunnel_dev on exit
[ No relevant upstream commit. ] This problem was fixed upstream by commit 9434266f2c64 ("sit: fix use after free of fb_tunnel_dev"). The upstream patch depends on upstream commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of x-netns"), which was not backported into 3.10 branch. First, explain the problem: when the sit module is unloaded, sit_cleanup() is called. rmmod sit => sit_cleanup() => rtnl_link_unregister() => __rtnl_kill_links() => for_each_netdev(net, dev) { if (dev->rtnl_link_ops == ops) ops->dellink(dev, &list_kill); } At this point, the FB device is deleted (and all sit tunnels). => unregister_pernet_device() => unregister_pernet_operations() => ops_exit_list() => sit_exit_net() => sit_destroy_tunnels() In this function, no tunnel is found. => unregister_netdevice_queue(sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, &list); We delete the FB device a second time here! Because we cannot simply remove the second deletion (sit_exit_net() must remove the FB device when a netns is deleted), we add an rtnl ops which delete all sit device excepting the FB device and thus we can keep the explicit deletion in sit_exit_net().
