From e7ddd6af17e452467e17f15ad70a6f211593f2fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Falcon Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 10:59:08 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] net/ibmvnic: Fix RTNL deadlock during device reset [ Upstream commit 986103e7920cabc0b910749e77ae5589d3934d52 ] Commit a5681e20b541 ("net/ibmnvic: Fix deadlock problem in reset") made the change to hold the RTNL lock during driver reset but still calls netdev_notify_peers, which results in a deadlock. Instead, use call_netdevice_notifiers, which is functionally the same except that it does not take the RTNL lock again.
