Subject: [PATCH] fcoe: Don't hold rtnl_mutex in fcoe_update_src_mac
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:52:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120313225254.5473.92174.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bug-42918-11613@https.bugzilla.kernel.org>

The rtnl_mutex was held to protect calls to dev_uc_add
and dev_uc_del. Holding rtnl is not required as those
functions make use of the netif_addr_lock* API to
protect the MAC changing.

This change fixes the following regression by removing
the rtnl usage when fcoe_update_src_mac is called.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42918

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&fip->ctlr_mutex);
                               lock(rtnl_mutex);
                               lock(&fip->ctlr_mutex);
  lock(rtnl_mutex);
