When the following snippet is run, lockdep will report a deadlock[1].
/* Acquire all queues dim_locks */
for (i = 0; i < vi->max_queue_pairs; i++)
mutex_lock(&vi->rq[i].dim_lock);
There's no deadlock here because the vq locks are always taken
in the same order, but lockdep can not figure it out. So refactoring
the code to alleviate the problem.

ethtool/962 is trying to acquire lock:

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.
