Girish Moodalbail dea6e19f4e tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panic
The commit 9a393b5d59 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a
separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports
interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create
create respective tap devices.

However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap
and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are
applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications
cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev
macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap
modules respectively. So,  when the application is later closed the
kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the
unloaded modules.

----------8<------- Example ----------8<----------
$ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap
$ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}'
  14:mv0@enp7s0:
$ cat /dev/tap14 &
$ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan'
macvtap                16384  0
macvlan                24576  1 macvtap
tap                    24576  3 macvtap
$ sudo modprobe -r macvtap
$ fg
cat /dev/tap14
^C

<...system panics...>
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500
IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30
----------8<-----------------8<----------

The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device
(either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in
fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through
cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload
prematurely.

Sainath Grandhi 235a9d89da ipvtap: IP-VLAN based tap driver
This patch adds a tap character device driver that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'type ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.
