[ Upstream commit0b9902c1fc] When qeth_dev_layer2_store() - holding the discipline_mutex - waits inside qeth_l*_remove_device() for a qeth_do_reset() thread to complete, we can hit a deadlock if qeth_do_reset() concurrently calls qeth_set_online() and thus tries to aquire the discipline_mutex. Move the discipline_mutex locking outside of qeth_set_online() and qeth_set_offline(), and turn the discipline into a parameter so that callers understand the dependency. To fix the deadlock, we can now relax the locking: As already established, qeth_l*_remove_device() waits for qeth_do_reset() to complete. So qeth_do_reset() itself is under no risk of having card->discipline ripped out while it's running, and thus doesn't need to take the discipline_mutex.

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 Restructured Text 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.
