David reported that doing the following:

    ip li add red type vrf table 10
    ip link set dev eth1 vrf red
    ip addr add 127.0.0.1/8 dev red
    ip link set dev eth1 up
    ip li set red up
    ping -c1 -w1 -I red 127.0.0.1
    ip li del red

results in a hang with this message:

    unregister_netdevice: waiting for red to become free. Usage count = 1

The problem is caused by caching the dst used for sending the packet
out of the specified interface on the route that the lookup returned
from the local table when the rule for the lookup in the local table
is ordered before the rule for lookups using l3mdevs. Thus the dst
could stay around until the route in the local table is deleted which
may be never.

Address the problem by not allocating a cacheable output dst if
FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF is set and the nh device differs from the
device used for the dst.

I think you misunderstood my comment. The above works fine today. There
is no bug with refcnts.

It breaks with your patches wanting to use a VRF device with the main
table (254).

That doesn't seem to match with my experience. I can reproduce this on 
the net tree with the listed commands and the behaviour matches what I 
see in the code.

Our mileage varies:

The above is one of many tests I run and never hit a problem deleting a
VRF device. dst's attached to fnhe_rth_output and fnhe_rth_input appear
to be properly flushed and device references released when the device is
deleted (NETDEV_DOWN and then NETDEV_UNREGISTER).

Can you send me your kernel config and "sysctl -a --pattern 'net.ipv4'"?
Perhaps you have something enabled I don't.

The key thing I think is the ip rules:

$ ip rule
0:	from all lookup local
1000:	from all lookup [l3mdev-table]
32766:	from all lookup main
32767:	from all lookup default

Maybe you have the local rule moved down at startup?

I'll send you the requested information if not.

Thanks,
Rob

yes that would be a problem. With this test the 127.0.0.1 lookup is
matching on the wrong table:

perf probe fib_table_lookup%return ret=%ax
perf record -e fib:*,probe:* -a -- ping -c1 -w1 -I red 127.0.0.1

Table 255 is the wrong table. That is the ultimate problem here.

The table used for the lookup could be retrieved from the oif, but the 
check I introduced would still be required to cope with the unusual, but 
not disallowed, case of two VRF master devices referring to the same table.
