Hi,
This is v3 of the patch adding owner-tracked reentrant locking for
pci_rescan_remove_lock in sriov_add_vfs() and sriov_del_vfs(), to
serialize VF addition/removal against concurrent hotplug events
(including platform-generated events on s390) without deadlocking
on paths that already hold the lock.
Rebased on linux-next (next-20260225).
No code changes from v2. Only added collected tags.
Changes in v3:
- Rebased on linux-next (next-20260225)
- Added Tested-by from Dragos Tatulea (NVIDIA)
- Added Reviewed-by from Benjamin Block (IBM)
- No code changes from v2
Changes in v2:
- Renamed from pci_lock_rescan_remove_nested() to
pci_lock_rescan_remove_reentrant() to avoid confusion with
mutex_lock_nested() lockdep annotations (Benjamin Block)
- Added pci_unlock_rescan_remove_reentrant(const bool locked) helper
to avoid open-coding conditional unlock at each call site
(Benjamin Block)
- Moved declarations from drivers/pci/pci.h to include/linux/pci.h
alongside existing lock/unlock declarations (Benjamin Block)
- Simplified callers: removed negation of return value and manual
conditional unlock in favor of the paired lock/unlock helpers
