vlan_rwsem was added more than a decade ago to work around a deadlock involving the original mutex being acquired twice, once from the wq. Subsequent changes then tweaked it to partially protect access to ipoib_dev_priv->child_intfs together with the RTNL. Flushing the wq synchronously was also since then refactored to happen separately. This semaphore unfortunately prevents updating ipoib to work with devices that require the netdev lock, because of lock ordering issues between RTNL, vlan_rwsem and the netdev instance locks of parent and child devices. To uncomplicate things, this commit replaces vlan_rwsem with the netdev instance lock of the parent device. Both parent child_intfs list and the children's list membership in it require holding the parent netdev instance lock. All call paths were carefully reviewed and no-longer-needed ASSERT_RTNL calls were dropped. Some non-trivial changes: - ipoib_match_gid_pkey_addr() now only acquires the instance lock and iterates through child_intfs for the first level of recursion (the parent), as it's not possible to have multiple levels of nested subinterfaces. - ipoib_open() and ipoib_stop() schedule tasks on the global workqueue to open/stop child interfaces to avoid potentially acquiring nested netdev instance locks. To avoid the device going away between the task scheduling and execution, netdev_hold/netdev_put are used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
