After applying the workaround for err050089, the LS1028A platform
experiences RCU stalls on RT kernel. This issue is caused by the
recursive acquisition of the read lock enetc_mdio_lock. Here list some
of the call stacks identified under the enetc_poll path that may lead to
a deadlock:
enetc_poll
-> enetc_lock_mdio
-> enetc_clean_rx_ring OR napi_complete_done
-> napi_gro_receive
-> enetc_start_xmit
-> enetc_lock_mdio
-> enetc_map_tx_buffs
-> enetc_unlock_mdio
-> enetc_unlock_mdio
After enetc_poll acquires the read lock, a higher-priority writer attempts
to acquire the lock, causing preemption. The writer detects that a
read lock is already held and is scheduled out. However, readers under
enetc_poll cannot acquire the read lock again because a writer is already
waiting, leading to a thread hang.
Currently, the deadlock is avoided by adjusting enetc_lock_mdio to prevent
recursive lock acquisition.
Fixes: 6d36ecdbc4 ("net: enetc: take the MDIO lock only once per NAPI poll cycle")

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.
