Re: [PATCH net-next] alx: use fine-grained locking instead of RTNL

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net-next.git (refs/heads/master):

On Wed, 12 May 2021 12:19:50 +0200 you wrote:

In the alx driver, all locking depended on the RTNL, but
that causes issues with ipconfig ("ip=..." command line)
because that waits for the netdev to have a carrier while
holding the RTNL, but the alx workers etc. require RTNL,
so the carrier won't be set until the RTNL is dropped and
can be acquired by alx workers. This causes long delays
at boot, as reported by Nikolai Zhubr.
