The following is the lockdep warning which detects possible deadlock condition with the way ar->lock and ar->list_lock are being used. (&(&ar->lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0492d13>] ath6kl_indicate_tx_activity+0x83/0x110 [ath6kl] but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past: (&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock){+.+...} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. other info that might help us debug this: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&ar->lock)->rlock); lock(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&ar->lock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** softirqs have to be disabled when acquiring ar->list_lock to avoid the above deadlock condition. When the above warning printed the interface is still up and running without issue.
