I forgot to add: The socket fasync lists use spinlocking in the same
was as RPC does, with sock_fasync() setting
write_lock_bh(&sk->callback_lock), and sock_def_write_space()
doing read_lock(&sk->callback_lock).

So that would deadlock with the QDIO driver in the exact same manner
as the RPC stuff (albeit probably a lot less frequently).
