Subject: BUG: selftest/net/tun: Hang in unregister_netdevice

Hi, all!

After running tools/testing/selftests/net/tun, there seems to be some kind of hang
in test "FAIL  tun.reattach_delete_close" or "FAIL  tun.reattach_close_delete".

Two tests exit by timeout, but the processes left are unkillable, even with kill -9 PID:

[root@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]# ps -ef | grep tun

The kernel seems to be stuck in some loop, and filling the log with the
following messages until reboot, where it is also waiting very long on the
situation to timeout, which apparently never happens.

Mar 14 11:54:09 pc-mtodorov kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Mar 14 11:54:19 pc-mtodorov kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Mar 14 11:54:29 pc-mtodorov kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Mar 14 11:54:40 pc-mtodorov kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Mar 14 11:54:50 pc-mtodorov kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3

The platform is kernel 6.3.0-rc2 on AlmaLinux 8.7 and a LENOVO_MT_10TX_BU_Lenovo_FM_V530S-07ICB
(lshw output attached).

The .config is here:

https://domac.alu.hr/~mtodorov/linux/selftests/net-tun/config-6.3.0-rc2-mg-andy-devres-00006-gfc89d7fb499b

Basically, it is a vanilla Torvalds tree kernel with MGLRU, KMEMLEAK, and CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT enabled.
And devres patch.

Please find the strace of the net/tun run attached.

I am available for additional diagnostics.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Mirsad
