6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Qiang Yu <quic_qianyu@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 01bd694ac2f682fb8017e16148b928482bc8fa4b upstream. Ensure read and write locks for the channel are not taken in succession by dropping the read lock from parse_xfer_event() such that a callback given to client can potentially queue buffers and acquire the write lock in that process. Any queueing of buffers should be done without channel read lock acquired as it can result in multiple locks and a soft lockup.
