Subject: mac80211 regression (deadlock) with built-in ipw2200
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2011 12:23:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877h57jwmh.fsf@tac.ki.iif.hu> (raw)
Hi,
As pointed out by git-bisect, commit ecb44335 (mac80211: fix
suspend/resume races with unregister hw) broke booting on my ThinkPad
R50e. Looks like the rtnl_lock() around rdev->wiphy.registered = true
leads to a deadlock, possibly because ipw2200 is built-in in my
config. Testing with the additional debug patch
--- a/net/wireless/core.c
+++ b/net/wireless/core.c
@@ -616,9 +616,8 @@ int wiphy_register(struct wiphy *wiphy)
if (res)
goto out_rm_dev;
- rtnl_lock();
+ WARN_ON(rtnl_is_locked());
rdev->wiphy.registered = true;
- rtnl_unlock();
return 0;
on top of c455ea4f (rc6+) leads to a working system with

[ 1.228121] ipw2200: Detected geography ZZR (14 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels)
in dmesg. It's a shoot in the dark, but register_netdev() issues
rtnl_lock() before calling register_netdevice(), so wiphy_register()
can't possibly acquire the rtnl mutex in the same call chain, or can
it?

Feri.
