Currently eswitch mode change is occurring from 2 different execution
contexts as below.
1. sriov sysfs enable/disable
2. devlink eswitch set commands
Both of them need to access eswitch related data structures in
synchronized manner.
Without any synchronization below race condition exist.
SR-IOV enable/disable with devlink eswitch mode change:
cpu-0 cpu-1
----- -----
mlx5_device_disable_sriov() mlx5_devlink_eswitch_mode_set()
mlx5_eswitch_disable() esw_offloads_stop()
esw_offloads_disable() mlx5_eswitch_disable()
esw_offloads_disable()
Hence, they are synchronized using a new mode_lock.
eswitch's state_lock is not used as it can lead to a deadlock scenario
below and state_lock is only for vport and fdb exclusive access.
ip link set vf <param>
netlink rcv_msg() - Lock A
rtnl_lock
vfinfo()
esw->state_lock() - Lock B
devlink eswitch_set
devlink_mutex
esw->state_lock() - Lock B
attach_netdev()
register_netdev()
rtnl_lock - Lock A
Alternatives considered:
1. Acquiring rtnl lock before taking esw->state_lock to follow similar
locking sequence as ip link flow during eswitch mode set.
rtnl lock is not good idea for two reasons.
(a) Holding rtnl lock for several hundred device commands is not good
idea.
(b) It leads to below and more similar deadlocks.
devlink eswitch_set
devlink_mutex
rtnl_lock - Lock A
esw->state_lock() - Lock B
eswitch_disable()
reload()
ib_register_device()
ib_cache_setup_one()
rtnl_lock()
2. Exporting devlink lock may lead to undesired use of it in vendor
driver(s) in future.
3. Unloading representors outside of the mode_lock requires
serialization with other process trying to enable the eswitch.
4. Differing the representors life cycle to a different workqueue
requires synchronization with func_change_handler workqueue.
