When unplugging an r8152 adapter while the interface is UP, the NIC becomes unusable. usb->disconnect (aka rtl8152_disconnect) deletes napi. Then, rtl8152_disconnect calls unregister_netdev and that invokes netdev->ndo_stop (aka rtl8152_close). rtl8152_close tries to napi_disable, but the napi is already deleted by disconnect above. So the first while loop in napi_disable never finishes. This results in complete deadlock of the network layer as there is rtnl_mutex held by unregister_netdev. So avoid the call to napi_disable in rtl8152_close when the device is already gone. The other calls to usb_kill_urb, cancel_delayed_work_sync, netif_stop_queue etc. seem to be fine. The urb and netdev is not destroyed yet.
