In ipoib_remove_one the driver holds the rtnl_lock and tries to do some operation like dev_change_flags or unregister_netdev, while sysfs callback like ipoib_vlan_delete holds sysfs mutex and tries to hold the rtnl_lock via rtnl_trylock() and restart_syscall() if the lock is not free, meanwhile ipoib_remove_one tries to get the sysfs lock in order to free its sysfs directory, and we will get a->b, b->a deadlock.
