ice: Fix race conditions between virtchnl handling and VF ndo ops
The VF can be configured via the PF's ndo ops at the same time the PF is receiving/handling virtchnl messages. This has many issues, with one of them being the ndo op could be actively resetting a VF (i.e. resetting it to the default state and deleting/re-adding the VF's VSI) while a virtchnl message is being handled. The following error was seen because a VF ndo op was used to change a VF's trust setting while the VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES was ongoing: [35274.192484] ice 0000:88:00.0: Failed to set LAN Tx queue context, error: ICE_ERR_PARAM [35274.193074] ice 0000:88:00.0: VF 0 failed opcode 6, retval: -5 [35274.193640] iavf 0000:88:01.0: PF returned error -5 (IAVF_ERR_PARAM) to our request 6 Fix this by making sure the virtchnl handling and VF ndo ops that trigger VF resets cannot run concurrently. This is done by adding a struct mutex cfg_lock to each VF structure. For VF ndo ops, the mutex will be locked around the critical operations and VFR. Since the ndo ops will trigger a VFR, the virtchnl thread will use mutex_trylock(). This is done because if any other thread (i.e. VF ndo op) has the mutex, then that means the current VF message being handled is no longer valid, so just ignore it. This issue can be seen using the following commands: for i in {0..50}; do rmmod ice modprobe ice sleep 1 echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f0/device/sriov_numvfs echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f1/device/sriov_numvfs ip link set ens785f1 vf 0 trust on ip link set ens785f0 vf 0 trust on sleep 2 echo 0 > /sys/class/net/ens785f0/device/sriov_numvfs echo 0 > /sys/class/net/ens785f1/device/sriov_numvfs sleep 1 echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f0/device/sriov_numvfs echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f1/device/sriov_numvfs ip link set ens785f1 vf 0 trust on ip link set ens785f0 vf 0 trust on done Fixes: 7c710869 ("ice: Add handlers for VF netdevice operations") Signed-off-by: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@intel.com> Tested-by: Konrad Jankowski <konrad0.jankowski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
