Subject: [PATCH V1 mlx5-next 04/13] PCI/IOV: Allow SRIOV VF drivers to reach the drvdata of a PF

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@...dia.com>

There are some cases where a SRIOV VF driver will need to reach into and
interact with the PF driver. This requires accessing the drvdata of the PF.

Provide a function pci_iov_get_pf_drvdata() to return this PF drvdata in a
safe way. Normally accessing a drvdata of a foreign struct device would be
done using the device_lock() to protect against device driver
probe()/remove() races.

However, due to the design of pci_enable_sriov() this will result in a
ABBA deadlock on the device_lock as the PF's device_lock is held during PF
sriov_configure() while calling pci_enable_sriov() which in turn holds the
VF's device_lock while calling VF probe(), and similarly for remove.

This means the VF driver can never obtain the PF's device_lock.

Instead use the implicit locking created by pci_enable/disable_sriov(). A
VF driver can access its PF drvdata only while its own driver is attached,
and the PF driver can control access to its own drvdata based on when it
calls pci_enable/disable_sriov().

To use this API the PF driver will setup the PF drvdata in the probe()
function. pci_enable_sriov() is only called from sriov_configure() which
cannot happen until probe() completes, ensuring no VF races with drvdata
setup.

For removal, the PF driver must call pci_disable_sriov() in its remove
function before destroying any of the drvdata. This ensures that all VF
drivers are unbound before returning, fencing concurrent access to the
drvdata.

The introduction of a new function to do this access makes clear the
special locking scheme and the documents the requirements on the PF/VF
drivers using this.
