In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: enetc: avoid deadlock in enetc_tx_onestep_tstamp()

This lockdep splat says it better than I could:

but I'll say it anyway: the enetc_tx_onestep_tstamp() work item runs in
process context, therefore with softirqs enabled (i.o.w., it can be
interrupted by a softirq). If we hold the netif_tx_lock() when there is
an interrupt, and the NET_TX softirq then gets scheduled, this will take
the netif_tx_lock() a second time and deadlock the kernel.

To solve this, use netif_tx_lock_bh(), which blocks softirqs from
running.
