stmmac: potential circular locking dependency

[Emilio López]

Hi everyone,

I was playing with iperf on my Cubietruck today when I hit this lockdep 
report/breakage on stmmac. It seems to be fairly reproducible by

1) Being on a GbE network
2) "iperf -s" on the stmmmac device
3) "iperf -c <IP of above device> -d -P 5" on some other device on the LAN

Here it goes:

======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.18.0-rc3-00003-g7180edf #916 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
iperf/141 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&(&dev->tx_global_lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<c025927c>] 
stmmac_tx_clean+0x350/0x43c

but task is already holding lock:
  (&(&priv->tx_lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<c0258f5c>] 
stmmac_tx_clean+0x30/0x43c

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
   &(&dev->tx_global_lock)->rlock --> _xmit_ETHER#2 --> 
&(&priv->tx_lock)->rlock

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(&(&priv->tx_lock)->rlock);
                                lock(_xmit_ETHER#2);
                                lock(&(&priv->tx_lock)->rlock);
   lock(&(&dev->tx_global_lock)->rlock);
