Commit03df156dd3("xdp: double protect netdev->xdp_flags with netdev->lock") introduces the netdev lock to xdp_set_features_flag(). The change includes a _locked version of the method, as it is possible for a driver to have already acquired the netdev lock before calling this helper. However, the same applies to xdp_features_(set|clear)_redirect_flags(), which ends up calling the unlocked version of xdp_set_features_flags() leading to deadlocks in GVE, which grabs the netdev lock as part of its suspend, reset, and shutdown processes: [ 833.265543] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected [ 833.270949] 6.15.0-rc1 #6 Tainted: G E [ 833.276271] -------------------------------------------- [ 833.281681] systemd-shutdow/1 is trying to acquire lock: [ 833.287090] ffff949d2b148c68 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: xdp_set_features_flag+0x29/0x90 [ 833.295470] [ 833.295470] but task is already holding lock: [ 833.301400] ffff949d2b148c68 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: gve_shutdown+0x44/0x90 [gve] [ 833.309508] [ 833.309508] other info that might help us debug this: [ 833.316130] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 833.316130] [ 833.322142] CPU0 [ 833.324681] ---- [ 833.327220] lock(&dev->lock); [ 833.330455] lock(&dev->lock); [ 833.333689] [ 833.333689] *** DEADLOCK *** [ 833.333689] [ 833.339701] May be due to missing lock nesting notation [ 833.339701] [ 833.346582] 5 locks held by systemd-shutdow/1: [ 833.351205] #0: ffffffffa9c89130 (system_transition_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: __se_sys_reboot+0xe6/0x210 [ 833.360695] #1: ffff93b399e5c1b8 (&dev->mutex){....}-{4:4}, at: device_shutdown+0xb4/0x1f0 [ 833.369144] #2: ffff949d19a471b8 (&dev->mutex){....}-{4:4}, at: device_shutdown+0xc2/0x1f0 [ 833.377603] #3: ffffffffa9eca050 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: gve_shutdown+0x33/0x90 [gve] [ 833.386138] #4: ffff949d2b148c68 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: gve_shutdown+0x44/0x90 [gve] Introduce xdp_features_(set|clear)_redirect_target_locked() versions which assume that the netdev lock has already been acquired before setting the XDP feature flag and update GVE to use the locked version.

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 reStructuredText 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.
