When doing a function/slot/bus reset PCI grabs the device_lock for each device to block things like suspend and driver probes, but call paths exist where this lock may already be held. This creates an opportunity for deadlock. For instance, vfio allows userspace to issue resets so long as it owns the device(s). If a driver unbind .remove callback races with userspace issuing a reset, we have a deadlock as userspace gets stuck waiting on device_lock while another thread has device_lock and waits for .remove to complete. To resolve this, we can make a version of the reset interfaces which use trylock. With this, we can safely attempt a reset and return error to userspace if there is contention. [bhelgaas: the deadlock happens when A (userspace) has a file descriptor for the device, and B waits in this path: driver_detach device_lock # take device_lock __device_release_driver pci_device_remove # pci_bus_type.remove vfio_pci_remove # pci_driver .remove vfio_del_group_dev wait_event(vfio.release_q, !vfio_dev_present) # wait (holding device_lock) Now B is stuck until A gives up the file descriptor. If A tries to acquire device_lock for any reason, we deadlock because A is waiting for B to release the lock, and B is waiting for A to release the file descriptor.] Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> |
