Then it can deadlock, e.g. if driver takes a global mutex. But it's an internal driver issue the, you can trigger a deadlock through hardware too, e.g. if VF initialization blocks until PF is fully initialized. I think it's not the case for Mellanox, is it? This is what I refer to: would be nice to fix nested probing in general but it seems disabling the warning is the best we can do for 3.9 since it causes false positives. -- MST -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
