>From the log, we can see three different call chains between
CPU0 and CPU1:

Time 0 on CPU0:

  kernel_init()->inet_init()->dev_add_pack()

At time 0, the ptype_lock is held by CPU0 in dev_add_pack();

Time 1 on CPU1:

  tipc_enable_bearer()->enable_bearer()->dev_add_pack()

At time 1, tipc_enable_bearer() first holds tipc_net_lock, and then
wants to take ptype_lock to register TIPC protocol handler into the
networking stack.  But the ptype_lock has been taken by dev_add_pack()
on CPU0, so at this time the dev_add_pack() running on CPU1 has to be
busy looping.

Time 2 on CPU0:

  netif_receive_skb()->recv_msg()->tipc_recv_msg()

At time 2, an incoming TIPC packet arrives at CPU0, hence
tipc_recv_msg() will be invoked. In tipc_recv_msg(), it first wants
to hold tipc_net_lock.  At the moment, below scenario happens:

On CPU0, below is our sequence of taking locks:

  lock(ptype_lock)->lock(tipc_net_lock)

On CPU1, our sequence of taking locks looks like:

  lock(tipc_net_lock)->lock(ptype_lock)

Obviously deadlock may happen in this case.

But please note the deadlock possibly doesn't occur at all when the
first TIPC bearer is enabled.  Before enable_bearer() -- running on
CPU1 does not hold ptype_lock, so the TIPC receive handler (i.e.
recv_msg()) is not registered successfully via dev_add_pack(), so
the tipc_recv_msg() cannot be called by recv_msg() even if a TIPC
message comes to CPU0. But when the second TIPC bearer is
registered, the deadlock can perhaps really happen.

To fix it, we will push the work of registering TIPC protocol
handler into workqueue context. After the change, both paths taking
ptype_lock are always in process contexts, thus, the deadlock should
never occur.

In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,

While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend

a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
