Looks like a deadlock in the vlan code.  Any chance you can run this 
test with
lockdep enabled?

You could also add a printk in vlan_device_event() to check which event 
it is hanging on, and
the netdevice that is passed in.

Since the vlan code holds RTNL at this point, then most other network 
tasks will eventually
hang as well.

Thanks,
Ben
