Subject: [net v2 3/7] e1000: fix lockdep warning in e1000_reset_task
From: Vladimir Davydov <VDavydov@...allels.com>
The patch fixes the following lockdep warning, which is 100%
reproducible on network restart:

== The issue background ==
The problem occurs, because e1000_down(), which is called under
adapter->mutex by e1000_reset_task(), tries to synchronously cancel
e1000 auxiliary works (reset_task, watchdog_task, phy_info_task,
fifo_stall_task), which take adapter->mutex in their handlers. So the
question is what does adapter->mutex protect there?
The adapter->mutex was introduced by commit 0ef4ee ("e1000: convert to
private mutex from rtnl") as a replacement for rtnl_lock() taken in the
asynchronous handlers. It targeted on fixing a similar lockdep warning
issued when e1000_down() was called under rtnl_lock(), and it fixed it,
but unfortunately it introduced the lockdep warning described above.
Anyway, that said the source of this bug is that the asynchronous works
were made to take rtnl_lock() some time ago, so let's look deeper and
find why it was added there.
The rtnl_lock() was added to asynchronous handlers by commit 338c15
("e1000: fix occasional panic on unload") in order to prevent
asynchronous handlers from execution after the module is unloaded
(e1000_down() is called) as it follows from the comment to the commit:
> Net drivers in general have an issue where timers fired
> by mod_timer or work threads with schedule_work are running
> outside of the rtnl_lock.
>
> With no other lock protection these routines are vulnerable
> to races with driver unload or reset paths.
>
> The longer term solution to this might be a redesign with
> safer locks being taken in the driver to guarantee no
> reentrance, but for now a safe and effective fix is
> to take the rtnl_lock in these routines.
I'm not sure if this locking scheme fixed the problem or just made it
unlikely, although I incline to the latter. Anyway, this was long time
ago when e1000 auxiliary works were implemented as timers scheduling
real work handlers in their routines. The e1000_down() function only
canceled the timers, but left the real handlers running if they were
running, which could result in work execution after module unload.
Today, the e1000 driver uses sane delayed works instead of the pair
timer+work to implement its delayed asynchronous handlers, and the
e1000_down() synchronously cancels all the works so that the problem
that commit 338c15 tried to cope with disappeared, and we don't need any
locks in the handlers any more. Moreover, any locking there can
potentially result in a deadlock.
So, this patch reverts commits 0ef4ee and 338c15.
