Thanks, I (finally) applied Yicong's identical patch from a year ago
to pci/virtualization for v5.19, with a commit log combined and
adapted from both:

PCI: Avoid pci_dev_lock() AB/BA deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store()

The sysfs sriov_numvfs_store() path acquires the device lock before the
config space access lock:

sriov_numvfs_store
device_lock # A (1) acquire device lock
sriov_configure
vfio_pci_sriov_configure # (for example)
vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure
pci_disable_sriov
sriov_disable
pci_cfg_access_lock
pci_wait_cfg # B (4) wait for dev->block_cfg_access == 0

Previously, pci_dev_lock() acquired the config space access lock before the
device lock:

pci_dev_lock
pci_cfg_access_lock
dev->block_cfg_access = 1 # B (2) set dev->block_cfg_access = 1
device_lock # A (3) wait for device lock

Any path that uses pci_dev_lock(), e.g., pci_reset_function(), may
deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store() if the operations occur in the sequence
(1) (2) (3) (4).

Avoid the deadlock by reversing the order in pci_dev_lock() so it acquires
the device lock before the config space access lock, the same as the
sriov_numvfs_store() path.
