Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV"
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 11:26:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030-revert_sriov_lock-v1-1-70f82ade426f@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251030-revert_sriov_lock-v1-0-70f82ade426f@linux.ibm.com>
This reverts commit 05703271c3cd ("PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove
locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV") which causes a deadlock by
recursively taking pci_rescan_remove_lock when sriov_del_vfs() is called
as part of pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). For example with the
following sequence of commands:
$ echo <NUM> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/sriov_numvfs
$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/remove
A trimmed trace of the deadlock on a mlx5 device is as below:
mutex_lock_nested+0x3c/0x50
sriov_disable+0x34/0x140
mlx5_sriov_disable+0x50/0x80 [mlx5_core]
remove_one+0x5e/0xf0 [mlx5_core]
pci_device_remove+0x3c/0xa0
device_release_driver_internal+0x18e/0x280
pci_stop_bus_device+0x82/0xa0
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked+0x5e/0x80
remove_store+0x72/0x90
This is not a complete fix as it restores the issue the cited commit
tried to solve.
