Thanks a lot. Please see the attachment. However, I think it's hard
for you to reproduce.

On 4.15.0 kernel, if I put those commands in a script file (like what
you did), it will pass.
It hangs only when these commands are generated and run using our
testsuite generated by GNU autotest. [1]
And it's odd that before this rtnl_talk_iov commit, the same test
generated by GNU autotest passes.
So I guess something in GNU autotest plus the new change in this
commit cause the failure.

If you're interested:
