[ Upstream commit 993107fea5eefdfdfde1ca38d3f01f0bebf76e77 ] When deleting a VLAN device using an ioctl the netdev is unregistered before the VLAN filter is updated via ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid(). It can lead to a use-after-free in mlxsw in case the VLAN device is deleted while being enslaved to a bridge. The reason for the above is that when mlxsw receives the CHANGEUPPER event, it wrongly assumes that the VLAN device is no longer its upper and thus destroys the internal representation of the bridge port despite the reference count being non-zero. Fix this by checking if the VLAN device is our upper using its real device. In net-next I'm going to remove this trick and instead make mlxsw completely agnostic to the order of the events.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
