Duoming Zhou 10ba1ac9a2 drivers: net: hippi: Fix deadlock in rr_close()
[ Upstream commit bc6de2878429e85c1f1afaa566f7b5abb2243eef ]

There is a deadlock in rr_close(), which is shown below:

   (Thread 1)                |      (Thread 2)
                             | rr_open()
rr_close()                   |  add_timer()
 spin_lock_irqsave() //(1)   |  (wait a time)
 ...                         | rr_timer()
 del_timer_sync()            |  spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)        |  ...

We hold rrpriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need rrpriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rr_close() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
