[ Upstream commit cc8e58f8325cdf14b9516b61c384cdfd02a4f408 ]
The following deadlock scenario is triggered by syzbot:
Thread A: Thread B: tcf_idr_check_alloc() ... populate_metalist() rtnl_unlock() rtnl_lock() ... request_module() tcf_idr_check_alloc() rtnl_lock()
At this point, thread A is waiting for thread B to release RTNL lock, while thread B is waiting for thread A to commit the IDR change with tcf_idr_insert() later.
Break this deadlock situation by preloading ife modules earlier, before tcf_idr_check_alloc(), this is fine because we only need to load modules we need potentially.
