[BUG] scsi: lpfc: possible ABBA deadlock

[Jia-Ju Bai]

Hello,

I find there is a possible ABBA deadlock in the lpfc driver in Linux 5.10:

In lpfc_nvmet_unsol_fcp_issue_abort():
3502:     spin_lock_irqsave(&ctxp->ctxlock, flags);
3504: spin_lock(&phba->sli4_hba.abts_nvmet_buf_list_lock);

In lpfc_sli4_nvmet_xri_aborted():
1787: spin_lock(&phba->sli4_hba.abts_nvmet_buf_list_lock);
1794:     spin_lock(&ctxp->ctxlock);

When lpfc_nvmet_unsol_fcp_issue_abort() and 
lpfc_sli4_nvmet_xri_aborted() are concurrently executed, the deadlock 
can occur.

I am not quite sure whether this possible deadlock is real and how to 
fix it if it is real.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks :)


Best wishes,
