[PATCH 5.16 159/203] ice: Avoid RTNL lock when re-creating auxiliary device

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 14 2022 - 05:37:28 EST


From: Dave Ertman <david.m.ertman@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5dbbbd01cbba831233c6ea9a3e6bfa133606d3c0 ]

If a call to re-create the auxiliary device happens in a context that has
already taken the RTNL lock, then the call flow that recreates auxiliary
device can hang if there is another attempt to claim the RTNL lock by the
auxiliary driver.

To avoid this, any call to re-create auxiliary devices that comes from
an source that is holding the RTNL lock (e.g. netdev notifier when
interface exits a bond) should execute in a separate thread. To
accomplish this, add a flag to the PF that will be evaluated in the
service task and dealt with there.
