Subject: [PATCH net] net: dsa: remove redundant netdev_lock_ops() from conduit ethtool ops
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:10:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414231035.1917035-1-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)

DSA replaces the conduit (master) device's ethtool_ops with its own
wrappers that aggregate stats from both the conduit and DSA switch
ports. Taking the lock again inside the DSA wrappers causes a deadlock.

Stumbled upon this when booting qemu with fbnic and CONFIG_NET_DSA_LOOP=y
(which looks like some kind of testing device that auto-populates the ports
of eth0). `ethtool -i` is enough to deadlock. This means we have basically zero
coverage for DSA stuff with real ops locked devs.

Remove the redundant netdev_lock_ops()/netdev_unlock_ops() calls from
the DSA conduit ethtool wrappers.
