We encountered a crash: in the packet receiving process, we got an
illegal VLAN device address, but the VLAN device address saved in vmcore
is correct. After checking the code, we found a possible data
competition:
CPU 0: CPU 1:
(RCU read lock) (RTNL lock)
vlan_do_receive() register_vlan_dev()
vlan_find_dev()
->__vlan_group_get_device() ->vlan_group_prealloc_vid()
In vlan_group_prealloc_vid(), We need to make sure that memset()
in kzalloc() is executed before assigning value to vlan devices array:
=================================
kzalloc()
->memset(object, 0, size)
smp_wmb()
vg->vlan_devices_arrays[pidx][vidx] = array;
==================================
Because __vlan_group_get_device() function depends on this order.
otherwise we may get a wrong address from the hardware cache on
another cpu.
So fix it by adding memory barrier instruction to ensure the order
of memory operations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
