has been resolved:\n\nmwifiex: bring down link before deleting interface\n\nWe can deadlock when rmmod'ing the driver or going through firmware\nreset, because the cfg80211_unregister_wdev() has to bring down the link\nfor us, ... which then grab the same wiphy lock.\n\nnl80211_del_interface() already handles a very similar case, with a nice\ndescription:\n\n /*\n * We hold RTNL, so this is safe, without RTNL opencount cannot\n * reach 0, and thus the rdev cannot be deleted.\n *\n * We need to do it for the dev_close(), since that will call\n * the netdev notifiers, and we need to acquire the mutex there\n * but don't know if we get there from here or from some other\n * place (e.g. \"ip link set ... down\").\n */\n mutex_unlock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);\n...\n\nDo similarly for mwifiex teardown, by ensuring we bring the link down\nfirst.\n\nSample deadlock trace:\n\n[ 247.103516] INFO: task rmmod:2119 blocked for more than 123 seconds.\n[ 247.110630] Not tainted 5.12.4 #5\n[
