[ Upstream commit eab0da38912ebdad922ed0388209f7eb0a5163cd ] Due to the cited patch, devlink health commands take devlink lock and this may result in deadlock for mlx5e_tx_reporter as it takes local state_lock before calling devlink health report and on the other hand devlink health commands such as diagnose for same reporter take local state_lock after taking devlink lock (see kernel log below). To fix it, remove local state_lock from mlx5e_tx_timeout_work() before calling devlink_health_report() and take care to cancel the work before any call to close channels, which may free the SQs that should be handled by the work. Before cancel_work_sync(), use current_work() to check we are not calling it from within the work, as mlx5e_tx_timeout_work() itself may close the channels and reopen as part of recovery flow. While removing state_lock from mlx5e_tx_timeout_work() keep rtnl_lock to ensure no change in netdev->real_num_tx_queues, but use rtnl_trylock() and a flag to avoid deadlock by calling cancel_work_sync() before closing the channels while holding rtnl_lock too.

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.
