LOR in if_detach

[Harti Brandt]

Hi all,

is there any insight on how to avoid an LOR in if_detach? The problem is,
that the locking order of the radix node head and the network driver is
first the radix node head and then the network driver. if_detach, however,
one has to call with the driver lock held. if_detach in order has to
remove routes pointing to the interface and needs to lock the radix node
head for this. And there we have an LOR. The only 'solution' I see at the
moment is to live with the race window and unlock the interface before
calling if_detach. Any other ideas?
