[PATCH v2 0/2] PCI/IOV: Fix deadlock when removing PF with enabled SR-IOV

[Niklas Schnelle]

Hi Bjorn,

Doing additional testing for a distribution backport of commit
05703271c3cd ("PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when
enabling/disabling SR-IOV") Benjamin found a hang with s390's
recover attribute. Further investigation showed this to be a deadlock by
recursively trying to take pci_rescan_remove lock when removing a PF
with enabled SR-IOV.

The issue can be reproduced on both s390 and x86_64 with:

    $ echo <NUM> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/sriov_numvfs
    $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/remove

As this seems worse than the original, hard to hit, race fixed by the
cited commit I think we first want to revert the broken fix.

Following that patch 2 attempts to fix the original issue by taking the
PCI rescan/remove lock directly before calling into the driver's
sriov_configure() callback enforcing the rule that this should only
be called with the pci_rescan_remove_lock held.

Thanks,
Niklas
