When there are CT table entries, and you rmmod nfp, the following events can happen: task1: nfp_net_pci_remove ↓ nfp_flower_stop->(asynchronous)tcf_ct_flow_table_cleanup_work(3) ↓ nfp_zone_table_entry_destroy(1) task2: nfp_fl_ct_handle_nft_flow(2) When the execution order is (1)->(2)->(3), it will crash. Therefore, in the function nfp_fl_ct_del_flow, nf_flow_table_offload_del_cb needs to be executed synchronously. At the same time, in order to solve the deadlock problem and the problem of rtnl_lock sometimes failing, replace rtnl_lock with the private nfp_fl_lock.

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.
