Subject: [PATCH 2/2] PCI/IOV: Fix race between SR-IOV enable/disable and hotplug
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 11:26:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030-revert_sriov_lock-v1-2-70f82ade426f@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251030-revert_sriov_lock-v1-0-70f82ade426f@linux.ibm.com>
Commit 05703271c3cd ("PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when
enabling/disabling SR-IOV") tried to fix a race between the VF removal
inside sriov_del_vfs() and concurrent hot unplug by taking the PCI
rescan/remove lock in sriov_del_vfs(). Similarly the PCI rescan/remove
lock was also taken in sriov_add_vfs() to protect addition of VFs.
This approach however causes deadlock on trying to remove PFs with
SR-IOV enabled because PFs disable SR-IOV during removal and this
removal happens under the PCI rescan/remove lock. So the original fix
had to be reverted.
Instead of taking the PCI rescan/remove lock in sriov_add_vfs() and
sriov_del_vfs(), fix the race that occurs with SR-IOV enable and disable
vs hotplug higher up in the callchain by taking the lock in
sriov_numvfs_store() before calling into the driver's sriov_configure()
callback.
