When there is a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event, bnxt_re driver calls ib_unregister_device() (RTNL lock held). ib_unregister_device attempts to flush a worker queue scheduled by ib_core and that queue might have a pending ib_query_port(). ib_query_port in turn calls bnxt_re_query_port(), which while querying the link speed using ib_get_eth_speed(), tries to acquire the rtnl_lock() which was already held by NETDEV_UNREGISTER. Fixing the issue by removing the link speed query from bnxt_re_query_port() Now the speed is queried post a successful ib_register_device or whenever there is a NETDEV_CHANGE event.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
