Roman reports a deadlock on unplug of a Thunderbolt docking station
containing an Intel I225 Ethernet adapter.
The root cause is that led_classdev's for LEDs on the adapter are
registered such that they're device-managed by the netdev. That
results in recursive acquisition of the rtnl_lock() mutex on unplug:
When the driver calls unregister_netdev(), it acquires rtnl_lock(),
then frees the device-managed resources. Upon unregistering the LEDs,
netdev_trig_deactivate() invokes unregister_netdevice_notifier(),
which tries to acquire rtnl_lock() again.
Avoid by using non-device-managed LED registration.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
