Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/14] devlink: Acquire device lock during netns dismantle

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...dia.com>

Device drivers register with devlink from their probe routines (under
the device lock) by acquiring the devlink instance lock and calling
devl_register().

Drivers that support a devlink reload usually implement the
reload_{down, up}() operations in a similar fashion to their remove and
probe routines, respectively.

However, while the remove and probe routines are invoked with the device
lock held, the reload operations are only invoked with the devlink
instance lock held. It is therefore impossible for drivers to acquire
the device lock from their reload operations, as this would result in
lock inversion.

The motivating use case for invoking the reload operations with the
device lock held is in mlxsw which needs to trigger a PCI reset as part
of the reload. The driver cannot call pci_reset_function() as this
function acquires the device lock. Instead, it needs to call
__pci_reset_function_locked which expects the device lock to be held.

To that end, adjust devlink to always acquire the device lock before the
devlink instance lock when performing a reload.

For now, only do that when reload is triggered as part of netns
dismantle. Subsequent patches will handle the case where reload is
explicitly triggered by user space.
