pci_lock is an IRQ-safe spinlock that protects all accesses to PCI configuration space (see PCI_OP_READ() and PCI_OP_WRITE() in pci/access.c). The pci_cfg_access_unlock() path acquires pci_lock, then p->pi_lock (inside wake_up_all()). According to lockdep, there is a possible path involving snbep_uncore_pci_read_counter() that could acquire them in the reverse order: acquiring p->pi_lock, then pci_lock, which could result in a deadlock. Lockdep details are in the bugzilla below. Avoid the possible deadlock by dropping pci_lock before waking up any config access waiters.

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.
