We are seeing an issue where setting the MAC address on iavf fails with
EAGAIN after the 2.5s timeout expires in iavf_set_mac().
There is the following deadlock scenario:
iavf_set_mac(), holding rtnl_lock, waits on:
iavf_watchdog_task (within iavf_wq) to send a message to the PF,
and
iavf_adminq_task (within iavf_wq) to receive a response from the PF.
In this adapter state (>=__IAVF_DOWN), these tasks do not need to take
rtnl_lock, but iavf_wq is a global single-threaded workqueue, so they
may get stuck waiting for another adapter's iavf_watchdog_task to run
iavf_init_config_adapter(), which does take rtnl_lock.
The deadlock resolves itself by the timeout in iavf_set_mac(),
which results in EAGAIN returned to userspace.
Let's break the deadlock loop by changing iavf_wq into a per-adapter
workqueue, so that one adapter's tasks are not blocked by another's.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
