Alex Williamson 45d7cf5174 vfio/pci: Use RCU for error/request triggers to avoid circular locking
[ Upstream commit 98693e0897 ]

Thanks to a device generating an ACS violation during bus reset,
lockdep reported the following circular locking issue:

CPU0: SET_IRQS (MSI/X): holds igate, acquires memory_lock
CPU1: HOT_RESET: holds memory_lock, acquires pci_bus_sem
CPU2: AER: holds pci_bus_sem, acquires igate

This results in a potential 3-way deadlock.

Remove the pci_bus_sem->igate leg of the triangle by using RCU
to peek at the eventfd rather than locking it with igate.

Fixes: 3be3a074cf ("vfio-pci: Don't use device_lock around AER interrupt setup")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
