I plan on using the zdev->lock for preventing concurrent zPCI devices
removal/configuration state changes between zPCI availability/error
events and enable_slot()/disable_slot() and /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/recover.

With that use in place using it here causes a deadlock when doing
"echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/<fid>/power from the host for an ISM device
attached to a guest.

This is because the (soft) hot unplug will cause vfio to notify QEMU, which
sends a deconfiguration request to the guest, which then tries to
gracefully shutdown the device. During that shutdown the device will
be accessed, running into this code path which then blocks on
the lock held by the disable_slot() code which waits on vfio
releasing the device.


Oof, good catch.  The primary purpose of acquiring the zdev lock here was to ensure that the region is only being used to process one operation at a time and at the time I wrote this initially the zdev lock seemed like a reasonable candidate :)

Oh ok, I thought it was to guard against removal. What's the reason
we can't have multiple concurrent users of the region though?
The PCISTB/PCILG should be able to be executed concurrently but
I'm probably missing something.


Yes, we are protecting the vfio region data, not PCISTB/PCILG execution.

When we enter vfio_pci_zdev_io_rw() with an I/O operation (a 'write' operation from the guest) we read in the data from the guest and place it into vdev->region[].data. The data being read in is effectively instructing us what I/O operation to perform. Now, if you have 2 threads performing a write operation to this function at the same time (and furthermore, at the same or overlapping positions), they would overwrite (or collide) with each other, resulting in contents written to vdev->region[].data that are unpredictable and thus the wrong I/O operations probably done.

It so happens that the QEMU implementation will ensure that won't happen, but the kernel interface also needs to make sure it doesn't happen.


Alex may correct me if I'm wrong but I think instead vfio should
be holding the PCI device lock via pci_device_lock(pdev).


OK, I can have a look at this.  Thanks.

Hmm, ok that idea was based on my assumption that it guards
against removal. My bad, of course without my patch it wouldn't
and this came before..


That would be a nice added bonus (we discussed it offline late last year so that's probably why you're thinking this).
