Subject: [BUG][PATCH] Fix race condition about network device name
allocation
Hi,
I encountered the following error when I was hot-plugging network card
using pci hotplug driver.
kobject_add failed for eth8 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
Call Trace:

This error is caused by the race condition between dev_alloc_name()
and unregistering net device. The dev_alloc_name() function checks
dev_base list to find a suitable id. The net device is removed from
the dev_base list when net device is unregistered. Those are done with
rtnl lock held, so there is no problem. However, removing sysfs entry
is delayed until netdev_run_todo() which is outside rtnl lock. Because
of this, dev_alloc_name() can create a device name which is duplicated
with the existing sysfs entry.
The following patch fixes this by changing dev_alloc_name() function
to check not only dev_base list but also todo list and snapshot list
to find a suitable id. If some devices exists on the todo list or
snapshot list, sysfs entries corresponding to them are not deleted
yet.
Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige

Fix the race condition between dev_alloc_name() and net device
unregistration.
dev_alloc_name checks `dev_base' list to find a suitable ID. On the
other hand, net devices are removed from that list on net device
unregistration. Both of them are done with holding rtnl lock. However,
removing sysfs entry is delayed until netdev_run_todo(), which doesn't
acquire rtnl lock. Therefore, on dev_alloc_name(), device name could
conflict with the device, which is unregistered, but its sysfs entry
still exist.
To fix this bug, change dev_alloc_name to check not only `dev_base'
list but also todo list and snapshot list.
