iavf_reset_task() takes crit_lock at the beginning and holds
it during whole call. The function subsequently calls
iavf_init_interrupt_scheme() that grabs RTNL. Problem occurs
when userspace initiates during the reset task any ndo callback
that runs under RTNL like iavf_open() because some of that
functions tries to take crit_lock. This leads to classic A-B B-A
deadlock scenario.
To resolve this situation the device should be detached in
iavf_reset_task() prior taking crit_lock to avoid subsequent
ndos running under RTNL and reattach the device at the end.

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.
