The hsr device is a software device. Its net_device_ops::ndo_start_xmit() routine will process the packet and then pass the resulting skb to dev_queue_xmit(). During processing, hsr acquires a lock with spin_lock_bh() (hsr_add_node()) which needs to be promoted to the _irq() suffix in order to avoid a potential deadlock. Then there are the warnings in dev_queue_xmit() (due to local_bh_disable() with disabled interrupts) left. Instead trying to address those (there is qdisc and…) for netpoll sake, just disable netpoll on hsr. Disable netpoll on hsr and replace the _irqsave() locking with _bh().

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.
