                           other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
                             &devlink->lock_key#14 --> mlx5_intf_mutex --> rtnl_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(rtnl_mutex);
                               lock(mlx5_intf_mutex);
                               lock(rtnl_mutex);
  lock(&devlink->lock_key#14);

Problem is taking the devlink instance lock of nested instance when RTNL
is already held.

To fix this, don't take the devlink instance lock when putting nested
handle. Instead, rely on devlink reference to access relevant pointers
within devlink structure. Also, make sure that the device does
not disappear by taking a reference in devlink_alloc_ns().

Patch #1 is dependency of patch #2.
Patch #2 converts the peernet2id_alloc() call so it could called without
devlink instance lock and prepares for the lock taking removal done
in patch #3.

Jiri Pirko (3):
  net: treat possible_net_t net pointer as an RCU one and add
    read_pnet_rcu()
  devlink: call peernet2id_alloc() with net pointer under RCU read lock
  devlink: don't take instance lock for nested handle put
