Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 07/11] net: bridge: don't recurse on the port's netdev ops lock
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 18:28:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603012840.2254293-8-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603012840.2254293-1-kuba@kernel.org>
port_cost() calls __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() on the port device,
which will soon take the port's ops lock. br_port_carrier_check()
is reached via the NETDEV_CHANGE notifier from linkwatch, which
already holds the port's ops lock, so the call would deadlock.
Make port_cost() expect the port's ops lock held and switch to
netif_get_link_ksettings(). The only other caller is new_nbp(),
make sure it takes the lock explicitly.
