Lockdep complains about circular lock in 1 -> 2 -> 3 (see below).
Change the lock ordering to be:
- rtnl_lock
- dev_addr_sem
- netdev_ops (only for lower devices!)
- team_lock (or other per-upper device lock)
1. rtnl_lock -> netdev_ops -> dev_addr_sem
rtnl_setlink
rtnl_lock
do_setlink IFLA_ADDRESS on lower
netdev_ops
dev_addr_sem
2. rtnl_lock -> team_lock -> netdev_ops
rtnl_newlink
rtnl_lock
do_setlink IFLA_MASTER on lower
do_set_master
team_add_slave
team_lock
team_port_add
dev_set_mtu
netdev_ops
3. rtnl_lock -> dev_addr_sem -> team_lock
rtnl_newlink
rtnl_lock
do_setlink IFLA_ADDRESS on upper
dev_addr_sem
netif_set_mac_address
team_set_mac_address
team_lock
4. rtnl_lock -> netdev_ops -> dev_addr_sem
rtnl_lock
dev_ifsioc
dev_set_mac_address_user
__tun_chr_ioctl
rtnl_lock
dev_set_mac_address_user
tap_ioctl
rtnl_lock
dev_set_mac_address_user
dev_set_mac_address_user
netdev_lock_ops
netif_set_mac_address_user
dev_addr_sem
v2:
- move lock reorder to happen after kmalloc (Kuniyuki)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
