In ipoib_mcast_restart_task() the netif_addr_lock() is invoked prior local_irq_save(). netif_addr_lock() should not be invoked in interrupt disabled section, only in BH disabled sections. The priv->lock is always acquired with disabled interrupts. The only place where netif_addr_lock() and priv->lock nest ist ipoib_mcast_restart_task(). Drop the local_irq_save() and acquire priv->lock with spin_lock_irq() inside the netif_addr locked section. It's safe to do so because the caller is either a worker function or __ipoib_ib_dev_flush() which are both calling with interrupts enabled (and since BH is enabled here, too so netif_addr_lock_bh() needs to be used).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
