We can't call close_candev() with a spin lock held, so release the lock before calling it. After calling close_candev(), we can update the fields of the private `struct can_priv' without having to acquire the lock.

Changes in v2: - Release the lock just before calling the close_candev(). drivers/net/can/slcan/slcan-core.c | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/can/slcan/slcan-core.c b/drivers/net/can/slcan/slcan-core.c index 54d29a410ad5..d40ddc596596 100644 --- a/drivers/net/can/slcan/slcan-core.c +++ b/drivers/net/can/slcan/slcan-core.c @@ -689,15 +689,14 @@ static int slc_close(struct net_device *dev) clear_bit(TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP, &sl->tty->flags); } netif_stop_queue(dev); + sl->rcount = 0; + sl->xleft = 0; + spin_unlock_bh(&sl->lock); close_candev(dev); sl->can.state = CAN_STATE_STOPPED; if (sl->can.bittiming.bitrate == CAN_BITRATE_UNKNOWN) sl->can.bittiming.bitrate = CAN_BITRATE_UNSET; - sl->rcount = 0; - sl->xleft = 0; - spin_unlock_bh(&sl->lock); - return 0; } -- 2.32.0
