[PATCH 4.14 057/143] IB/ipoib: Fix lockdep issue found on ipoib_ib_dev_heavy_flush
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Nov 02 2018 - 14:50:44 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 1f80bd6a6cc8358b81194e1f5fc16449947396ec ]
The locking order of vlan_rwsem (LOCK A) and then rtnl (LOCK B),
contradicts other flows such as ipoib_open possibly causing a deadlock.
To prevent this deadlock heavy flush is called with RTNL locked and
only then tries to acquire vlan_rwsem.
This deadlock is possible only when there are child interfaces.
