The driver may sleep under a spin lock in some function call paths. The 1st function call path is: enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock) enic_stop enic_synchronize_irqs synchronize_irq --> may sleep The 2nd function call path is: enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock) enic_dev_soft_reset enic_dev_wait schedule_timeout_uninterruptible --> may sleep The 3rd function call path is: enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock) enic_open enic_request_intr enic_set_rx_cpu_rmap enic_free_rx_cpu_rmap free_irq_cpu_rmap --> may sleep
To fix it, the "spin_lock" and "spin_unlock" are removed in enic_reset.
