When removing a network namespace with mlx5 devlink instance being in it, following callchain is performed: cleanup_net (takes down_read(&pernet_ops_rwsem) devlink_pernet_pre_exit() devlink_reload() mlx5_devlink_reload_down() mlx5_unload_one_devl_locked() mlx5_detach_device() del_adev() mlx5r_remove() __mlx5_ib_remove() mlx5_ib_roce_cleanup() mlx5_remove_netdev_notifier() unregister_netdevice_notifier (takes down_write(&pernet_ops_rwsem) This deadlocks. Resolve this by converting to register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net() which does not take pernet_ops_rwsem and moves the notifier block around according to netdev it takes as arg. Use previously introduced netdev added/removed events to track uplink netdev to be used for register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net() purposes.

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.
