syzbot reported WARNING in rtl8150_start_xmit/usb_submit_urb.
This is the sequence of events that leads to the warning:
rtl8150_start_xmit() {
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb(dev->tx_urb);
}
rtl8150_set_multicast() {
netif_stop_queue();
netif_wake_queue(); <-- wakes up TX queue before URB is done
}
rtl8150_start_xmit() {
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb(dev->tx_urb); <-- double submission
}
rtl8150_set_multicast being the ndo_set_rx_mode callback should not be
calling netif_stop_queue and notif_start_queue as these handle
TX queue synchronization.
The net core function dev_set_rx_mode handles the synchronization
for rtl8150_set_multicast making it safe to remove these locks.
