The lpfc_sli4_nvmet_xri_aborted() routine takes out the abts_buf_list_lock and traverses the buffer contexts to match the xri. Upon match, it then takes the context lock before potentially removing the context from the associated buffer list. This violates the lock hierarchy used elsewhere in the driver of locking context, then the abts_buf_list_lock - thus a possible deadlock. Resolve by: after matching, release the abts_buf_list_lock, then take the context lock, and if to be deleted from the list, retake the abts_buf_list_lock, maintaining lock hierarchy. This matches same list lock hierarchy as elsewhere in the driver Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210730163309.25809-1-jsmart2021@gmail.com Reported-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Smart <jsmart2021@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

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.
