ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task() insanely open codes a rtnl_lock() such that the only time flush_workqueue() can be called is if it also clears IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP. Thus the flush inside ipoib_flush_ah() will deadlock if it gets unlucky enough, and lockdep doesn't help us to find it early: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 __ipoib_ib_dev_flush() down_read(vlan_rwsem) ipoib_vlan_add() rtnl_trylock() down_write(vlan_rwsem) ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task() while (!rtnl_trylock()) msleep(20); ipoib_flush_ah() flush_workqueue(priv->wq) Clean up the ah_reaper related functions and lifecycle to make sense: - Start/Stop of the reaper should only be done in open/stop NDOs, not in any other places - cancel and flush of the reaper should only happen in the stop NDO. cancel is only functional when combined with IPOIB_STOP_REAPER. - Non-stop places were flushing the AH's just need to flush out dead AH's synchronously and ignore the background task completely. It is fully locked and harmless to leave running. Which ultimately fixes the ABBA deadlock by removing the unnecessary flush_workqueue() from the problematic place under the vlan_rwsem.
