spin_lock/unlock of health->wq_lock should be IRQ safe. It was changed to spin_lock_irqsave since adding commit0179720d6b("net/mlx5: Introduce trigger_health_work function") which uses spin_lock from asynchronous event (IRQ) context. Thus, all spin_lock/unlock of health->wq_lock should have been moved to IRQ safe mode. However, one occurrence on new code using this lock missed that change, resulting in possible deadlock: kernel: Possible unsafe locking scenario: kernel: CPU0 kernel: ---- kernel: lock(&(&health->wq_lock)->rlock); kernel: <Interrupt> kernel: lock(&(&health->wq_lock)->rlock); kernel: #012 *** DEADLOCK *** Fixes:2a0165a034("net/mlx5: Cancel delayed recovery work when unloading the driver") Signed-off-by: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
