batman-adv: Hold rtnl lock during MTU update via netlink
The automatic recalculation of the maximum allowed MTU is usually triggered by code sections which are already rtnl lock protected by callers outside of batman-adv. But when the fragmentation setting is changed via batman-adv's own batadv genl family, then the rtnl lock is not yet taken. But dev_set_mtu requires that the caller holds the rtnl lock because it uses netdevice notifiers. And this code will then fail the check for this lock: RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (1953) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: syzbot+f8812454d9b3ac00d282@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: c6a953cce8d0 ("batman-adv: Trigger events for auto adjusted MTU") Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230821-batadv-missing-mtu-rtnl-lock-v1-1-1c5a7bfe861e@narfation.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
