[ Upstream commitbab9693a9a] A dead lock was triggered on thunderx driver: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- [01] lock(&(&nic->rx_mode_wq_lock)->rlock); [11] lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock); [12] lock(&(&nic->rx_mode_wq_lock)->rlock); [02] <Interrupt> lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock); The path for each is: [01] worker_thread() -> process_one_work() -> nicvf_set_rx_mode_task() [02] mld_ifc_timer_expire() [11] ipv6_add_dev() -> ipv6_dev_mc_inc() -> igmp6_group_added() -> [12] dev_mc_add() -> __dev_set_rx_mode() -> nicvf_set_rx_mode() To fix it, it needs to disable bh on [1], so that the timer on [2] wouldn't be triggered until rx_mode_wq_lock is released. So change to use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock(). Thanks to Paolo for helping with this. v1->v2: - post to netdev.

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.
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.
