Harald Arnesen reported [1] a deadlock at reboot time, and after he captured a stack trace a picture developed of what's going on: The distribution he's using is using iwd (not wpa_supplicant) to manage wireless. iwd will usually use the "socket owner" option when it creates new interfaces, so that they're automatically destroyed when it quits (unexpectedly or otherwise). This is also done by wpa_supplicant, but it doesn't do it for the normal one, only for additional ones, which is different with iwd. Anyway, during shutdown, iwd quits while the netdev is still UP, i.e. IFF_UP is set. This causes the stack trace that Linus so nicely transcribed from the pictures: cfg80211_destroy_iface_wk() takes wiphy_lock -> cfg80211_destroy_ifaces() ->ieee80211_del_iface ->ieeee80211_if_remove ->cfg80211_unregister_wdev ->unregister_netdevice_queue ->dev_close_many ->__dev_close_many ->raw_notifier_call_chain ->cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call and that last call tries to take wiphy_lock again.

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 Restructured Text 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.
