[Marc Kleine-Budde]

Hello David,

this is a pull request of one patch for the upcoming linux-4.8 release.

The patch by Sergei Miroshnichenko fixes a potential deadlock in the generic
CAN device code that cann occour after a bus-off.

regards,
Marc

[PATCH] can: dev: fix deadlock reported after bus-off

[Marc Kleine-Budde]

From: Sergei Miroshnichenko <sergeimir@emcraft.com>

A timer was used to restart after the bus-off state, leading to a
relatively large can_restart() executed in an interrupt context,
which in turn sets up pinctrl. When this happens during system boot,
there is a high probability of grabbing the pinctrl_list_mutex,
which is locked already by the probe() of other device, making the
kernel suspect a deadlock condition [1].

To resolve this issue, the restart_timer is replaced by a delayed
work.
