From: Mohammad Heib The i40e driver calls udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() during i40e_open(). This is redundant because UDP tunnel RX offload state is preserved across device down/up cycles. The udp_tunnel core handles synchronization automatically when required. Furthermore, recent changes in the udp_tunnel infrastructure require querying RX info while holding the udp_tunnel lock. Calling it directly from the ndo_open path violates this requirement, triggering the following lockdep warning: Call Trace: ? __udp_tunnel_nic_assert_locked+0x39/0x40 [udp_tunnel] i40e_open+0x135/0x14f [i40e] __dev_open+0x121/0x2e0 __dev_change_flags+0x227/0x270 dev_change_flags+0x3d/0xb0 devinet_ioctl+0x56f/0x860 sock_do_ioctl+0x7b/0x130 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x91/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x90/0x170 ... Remove the redundant and unsafe call to udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() from i40e_open() resolve the locking violation.
