+Subject: [PATCH linux] net: fix deadlock while clearing neighbor proxy table
+
+When coming from ndisc_netdev_event() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c,
+neigh_ifdown() is called with &nd_tbl, locking this while
+clearing the proxy neighbor entries when eg. deleting an
+interface. Calling the table's pndisc_destructor() with the
+lock still held, however, can cause a deadlock: When a
+multicast listener is available an IGMP packet of type
+ICMPV6_MGM_REDUCTION may be sent out. When reaching
+ip6_finish_output2(), if no neighbor entry for the target
+address is found, __neigh_create() is called with &nd_tbl,
+which it'll want to lock.
+
+Move the elements into their own list, then unlock the table
+and perform the destruction.
+
+Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199289
+Fixes: 6fd6ce2056de ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2().")
