ppp_release() tries to ensure that netdevices are unregistered before
decrementing the unit refcount and running ppp_destroy_interface().
This is all fine as long as the the device is unregistered by
ppp_release(): the unregister_netdevice() call, followed by
rtnl_unlock(), guarantee that the unregistration process completes
before rtnl_unlock() returns.
However, the device may be unregistered by other means (like
ppp_nl_dellink()). If this happens right before ppp_release() calling
rtnl_lock(), then ppp_release() has to wait for the concurrent
unregistration code to release the lock.
But rtnl_unlock() releases the lock before completing the device
unregistration process. This allows ppp_release() to proceed and
eventually call ppp_destroy_interface() before the unregistration
process completes. Calling free_netdev() on this partially unregistered
device will BUG():

We could set the ->needs_free_netdev flag on PPP devices and move the
ppp_destroy_interface() logic in the ->priv_destructor() callback. But
that'd be quite intrusive as we'd first need to unlink from the other
channels and units that depend on the device (the ones that used the
PPPIOCCONNECT and PPPIOCATTACH ioctls).
Instead, we can just let the netdevice hold a reference on its
ppp_file. This reference is dropped in ->priv_destructor(), at the very
end of the unregistration process, so that neither ppp_release() nor
ppp_disconnect_channel() can call ppp_destroy_interface() in the interim.

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.
