6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 91d3d149978ba7b238198dd80e4b823756aa7cfa ]
ndo_stop() is RTNL-protected by net core, and the worker function takes
RTNL as well. Therefore we will deadlock when trying to execute a
pending work synchronously. To fix this execute any pending work
asynchronously. This will do no harm because netif_running() is false
in ndo_stop(), and therefore the work function is effectively a no-op.
However we have to ensure that no task is running or pending after
rtl_remove_one(), therefore add a call to cancel_work_sync().
Fixes: abe5fc42f9ce ("r8169: use RTNL to protect critical sections")
