A possible ABBA lock can happen with RTNL and vlan_rwsem. For example: Flow A: Device Flush __ipoib_ib_dev_flush down_read(vlan_rwsem) // Lock A ipoib_flush_ah flush_workqueue(priv->wq) // Wait for completion A work on shared WQ (Mcast carrier) ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task while (!rtnl_trylock()) // Wait for lock B Flow B: Sysfs PKEY delete ipoib_vlan_delete lock(RTNL) // Lock B down_write(vlan_rwsem) // Wait for lock A This can happen with PKEY creates as well. The solution is to release the RTNL lock in sysfs functions in case it is not possible to lock VLAN RW semaphore and reset the SYS call.
