net: dcb: disable softirqs in dcbnl_flush_dev()
Ido Schimmel points out that since commit 52cff74eef5d ("dcbnl : Disable software interrupts before taking dcb_lock"), the DCB API can be called by drivers from softirq context. One such in-tree example is the chelsio cxgb4 driver: dcb_rpl -> cxgb4_dcb_handle_fw_update -> dcb_ieee_setapp If the firmware for this driver happened to send an event which resulted in a call to dcb_ieee_setapp() at the exact same time as another DCB-enabled interface was unregistering on the same CPU, the softirq would deadlock, because the interrupted process was already holding the dcb_lock in dcbnl_flush_dev(). Fix this unlikely event by using spin_lock_bh() in dcbnl_flush_dev() as in the rest of the dcbnl code.
