Subject: net: thunderx: use spin_lock_bh in nicvf_set_rx_mode_task()
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc1
Git-commit: bab9693a9a8c6dd19f670408ec1e78e12a320682
References: bsc#1110096
A dead lock was triggered on thunderx driver:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
[01] lock(&(&nic->rx_mode_wq_lock)->rlock);
[11] lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock);
[12] lock(&(&nic->rx_mode_wq_lock)->rlock);
[02] <Interrupt> lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock);
The path for each is:
[01] worker_thread() -> process_one_work() -> nicvf_set_rx_mode_task()
[02] mld_ifc_timer_expire()
[11] ipv6_add_dev() -> ipv6_dev_mc_inc() -> igmp6_group_added() ->
[12] dev_mc_add() -> __dev_set_rx_mode() -> nicvf_set_rx_mode()
To fix it, it needs to disable bh on [1], so that the timer on [2]
wouldn't be triggered until rx_mode_wq_lock is released. So change
to use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock().
Thanks to Paolo for helping with this.
v1->v2:
- post to netdev.
