e1000_down calls netif_queue_set_napi, which assumes that RTNL is held.

There are a few paths for e1000_down to be called in e1000 where RTNL is
not currently being held:
  - e1000_shutdown (pci shutdown)
  - e1000_suspend (power management)
  - e1000_reinit_locked (via e1000_reset_task delayed work)

Hold RTNL in two places to fix this issue:
  - e1000_reset_task
  - __e1000_shutdown (which is called from both e1000_shutdown and
    e1000_suspend).

The other paths which call e1000_down seemingly hold RTNL and are OK:
  - e1000_close (ndo_stop)
  - e1000_change_mtu (ndo_change_mtu)

I'm submitting this is as an RFC because:
  - the e1000_reinit_locked issue appears very similar to commit
    21f857f0321d ("e1000e: add rtnl_lock() to e1000_reset_task"), which
    fixes a similar issue in e1000e

however

  - adding rtnl to e1000_reinit_locked seemingly conflicts with an
    earlier e1000 commit b2f963bfaeba ("e1000: fix lockdep warning in
    e1000_reset_task").

Hopefully Intel can weigh in and shed some light on the correct way to
go.

It looks like there's one other spot I missed:

e1000_io_error_detected (pci error handler) which should also hold
rtnl_lock:

+       if (netif_running(netdev)) {
+               rtnl_lock();
                e1000_down(adapter);
+               rtnl_unlock();
+       }

I can send that update in the v2, but I'll wait to see if Intel has suggestions
on the below.

Regarding the above locations where rtnl_lock may need to be held,
comparing to other intel drivers:

  - e1000_reset_task: it appears that igc, igb, and e100e all hold
    rtnl_lock in their reset_task functions, so I think adding an
    rtnl_lock / rtnl_unlock to e1000_reset_task should be OK,
    despite the existence of commit b2f963bfaeba ("e1000: fix
    lockdep warning in e1000_reset_task").

  - e1000_io_error_detected:
      - e1000e temporarily obtains and drops rtnl in
        e1000e_pm_freeze
      - ixgbe holds rtnl in the same path (toward the bottom of
        ixgbe_io_error_detected)
      - igb does NOT hold rtnl in this path (as far as I can tell)
      - it was suggested in another thread to hold rtnl in this path
        for igc [1].
       
     Given that it will be added to igc and is held in this same
     path in e1000e and ixgbe, I think it is safe to add it for
     e1000, as well.

 - e1000_shutdown: 
   - igb holds rtnl in the same path,
   - e1000e temporarily holds it in this path (via
     e1000e_pm_freeze)
   - ixgbe holds rtnl in the same path

So based on the recommendation for igc [1], and the precedent set in
the other Intel drivers in most cases (except igb and the io_error
path), I think adding rtnl to all 3 locations described above is
correct.

Please let me know if you all agree. Thanks for reviewing this.

From my review, I think we need the RTNL lock around this function. The
deadlocks mentions in the fix lockdep patch appear to be due to having
an *extra* lock which could then cause issues.

Thanks for taking a look. I will send an official iwl-net PATCH with
these changes once the 24 hour timer has expired.
