Enabling SR-IOV VFs will cause the PCI subsystem to schedule a work and flush its workqueue. Since the nfp driver schedules its own work we can't enable VFs while holding driver load. Commit6d48ceb27a("nfp: allocate a private workqueue for driver work") tried to avoid this deadlock by creating a separate workqueue. Unfortunately, due to the architecture of workqueue subsystem this does not guarantee a separate thread of execution. Luckily we can simply take pci_enable_sriov() from under the driver lock. Take pci_disable_sriov() from under the lock too for symmetry.

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.
