Summary
ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find()

The per-netns IP tunnel hash table is protected by the RTNL mutex and ip_tunnel_find() is only called from the control path where the mutex is taken.

Add a lockdep expression to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() in ip_tunnel_find() in order to validate that the mutex is held and to silence the suspicious RCU usage warning [1].

[1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.12.0-rc3-custom-gd95d9a31aceb #139 Not tainted

net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c:221 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by ip/362: #0: ffffffff86fc7cb0 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x377/0xf60
