[ Upstream commit 9067eccdd7849dd120d5495dbd5a686fa6ed2c1a ] The selftest for the driver sends a dummy packet and checks if the packet will be received properly as it should be. The regular TX path and the selftest can use the same network queue so locking is required and was missing in the selftest path. This was addressed in the commit cited below. Unfortunately locking the TX queue requires BH to be disabled which is not the case in selftest path which is invoked in process context. Lockdep should be complaining about this. Use __netif_tx_lock_bh() for TX queue locking. Fixes: c650e04898072 ("cxgb4: Fix race between loopback and normal Tx path") Reported-by: "John B.

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.
