[ Upstream commit 9870257a0a338cd8d6c1cddab74e703f490f6779 ]
Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and functions of net_device_ops
and ethtool_ops by using rtnl_trylock() and rtnl_unlock(). Note that
since ravb_close() is under the rtnl lock and calls cancel_work_sync(),
ravb_tx_timeout_work() should calls rtnl_trylock(). Otherwise, a deadlock
may happen in ravb_tx_timeout_work() like below:
CPU0 CPU1
ravb_tx_timeout()
schedule_work()
...
__dev_close_many()
// Under rtnl lock
ravb_close()
cancel_work_sync()
// Waiting
ravb_tx_timeout_work()
rtnl_lock()
// This is possible to cause a deadlock
If rtnl_trylock() fails, rescheduling the work with sleep for 1 msec.

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.
