390/qeth: Fix locking warning during qeth device setup Do not wait for channel command buffers in IPA commands. The potential wait could be done while holding a spin lock and causes in recent kernels such a bug if kernel lock debugging is enabled: kernel: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c: 794 kernel: in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 2031, name: NetworkManager kernel: 2 locks held by NetworkManager/2031: kernel: #0: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<00000000006e0d7a>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x32/0x50 kernel: #1: (_xmit_ETHER){+.....}, at: [<00000000006cfe90>] dev_set_rx_mode+0x30/0x50 kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 2031 Comm: NetworkManager Not tainted 3.18.0-rc5-next-20141124 #1 kernel: 00000000275fb1f0 00000000275fb280 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 00000000275fb320 00000000275fb298 00000000275fb298 00000000007e326a 0000000000000000 000000000099ce2c 00000000009b4988 000000000000000b 00000000275fb2e0 00000000275fb280 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000001129c8 00000000275fb280 00000000275fb2e0 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: ([<00000000001128b0>] show_trace+0xf8/0x158) kernel: [<000000000011297a>] show_stack+0x6a/0xe8 kernel: [<00000000007e995a>] dump_stack+0x82/0xb0 kernel: [<000000000017d668>] ___might_sleep+0x170/0x228 kernel: [<000003ff80026f0e>] qeth_wait_for_buffer+0x36/0xd0 [qeth] kernel: [<000003ff80026fe2>] qeth_get_ipacmd_buffer+0x3a/0xc0 [qeth] kernel: [<000003ff80105078>] qeth_l3_send_setdelmc+0x58/0xf8 [qeth_l3] kernel: [<000003ff8010b1fe>] qeth_l3_set_ip_addr_list+0x2c6/0x848 [qeth_l3] kernel: [<000003ff8010bbb4>] qeth_l3_set_multicast_list+0x434/0xc48 [qeth_l3] kernel: [<00000000006cfe9a>] dev_set_rx_mode+0x3a/0x50 kernel: [<00000000006cff90>] __dev_open+0xe0/0x140 kernel: [<00000000006d02a0>] __dev_change_flags+0xa0/0x178 kernel: [<00000000006d03a8>] dev_change_flags+0x30/0x70 kernel: [<00000000006e14ee>] do_setlink+0x346/0x9a0 ... The device driver has plenty of command buffers available per channel for channel command communication. In the extremely rare case when there is no command buffer available, return a NULL pointer and issue a warning in the kernel log. The caller handles the case when a NULL pointer is encountered and returns an error. In the case the wait for command buffer is possible (because no lock is held as in the OSN case), still wait until a channel command buffer is available.
