net/mlx5e: Fix possible deadlock on mlx5e_tx_timeout_work
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Due to the cited patch, devlink health commands take devlink lock and
this may result in deadlock for mlx5e_tx_reporter as it takes local
state_lock before calling devlink health report and on the other hand
devlink health commands such as diagnose for same reporter take local
state_lock after taking devlink lock (see kernel log below).

To fix it, remove local state_lock from mlx5e_tx_timeout_work() before
calling devlink_health_report() and take care to cancel the work before
any call to close channels, which may free the SQs that should be
handled by the work. Before cancel_work_sync(), use current_work() to
check we are not calling it from within the work, as
mlx5e_tx_timeout_work() itself may close the channels and reopen as part
of recovery flow.

While removing state_lock from mlx5e_tx_timeout_work() keep rtnl_lock to
ensure no change in netdev->real_num_tx_queues, but use rtnl_trylock()
and a flag to avoid deadlock by calling cancel_work_sync() before
closing the channels while holding rtnl_lock too.
