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.
