In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV"
This reverts commit 05703271c3cd ("PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking
when enabling/disabling SR-IOV"), which causes a deadlock by recursively
taking pci_rescan_remove_lock when sriov_del_vfs() is called as part of
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). For example with the following sequence
of commands:
$ echo <NUM> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/sriov_numvfs
$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/remove
A trimmed trace of the deadlock on a mlx5 device is as below:
zsh/5715 is trying to acquire lock:
000002597926ef50 (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sriov_disable+0x34/0x140
but task is already holding lock:
