When triggering PCI device recovery by writing into the SysFS attribute
`recover` of a Physical Function with existing child SR-IOV Virtual
Functions, lockdep is reporting a possible deadlock between three
threads:
Thread (A) Thread (B) Thread (C)
| | |
recover_store() zpci_scan_devices() zpci_scan_devices()
lock(pci_rescan_remove_lock) | |
| | |
| | zpci_bus_scan_busses()
| | lock(zbus_list_lock)
| zpci_add_device() |
| lock(zpci_add_remove_lock) |
| | ┴
| | zpci_bus_scan_bus()
| | lock(pci_rescan_remove_lock)
┴ |
zpci_zdev_put() |
lock(zpci_add_remove_lock) |
┴
zpci_bus_get()
lock(zbus_list_lock)
In zpci_bus_scan_busses() the `zbus_list_lock` is taken for the whole
duration of the function, which also includes taking
`pci_rescan_remove_lock`, among other things. But `zbus_list_lock` only
really needs to protect the modification of the global registration
`zbus_list`, it can be dropped while the functions within the list
iteration run; this way we break the cycle above.
Break up zpci_bus_scan_busses() into an "iterator" zpci_bus_get_next()
that iterates over `zbus_list` element by element, and acquires and
releases `zbus_list_lock` as necessary, but never keep holding it.
References to `zpci_bus` objects are also acquired and released.
The reference counting on `zpci_bus` objects is also changed so that all
put() and get() operations are done under the protection of
`zbus_list_lock`, and if the operation results in a modification of
`zpci_bus_list`, this modification is done in the same critical section
(apart the very first initialization). This way objects are never seen
on the list that are about to be released and/or half-initialized.
Fixes: 14c87ba812 ("s390/pci: separate zbus registration from scanning")
