Hello,
My static analysis tool reports a possible ABBA deadlock in the qedi
driver in Linux 5.16:
qedi_process_tmf_resp()
spin_lock(&session->back_lock); --> Line 201 (Lock A)
spin_lock(&qedi_conn->tmf_work_lock); --> Line 230 (Lock B)
qedi_process_cmd_cleanup_resp()
spin_lock_bh(&qedi_conn->tmf_work_lock); --> Line 752 (Lock B)
spin_lock_bh(&conn->session->back_lock); --> Line 784 (Lock A)
When qedi_process_tmf_resp() and qedi_process_cmd_cleanup_resp() are
concurrently executed, the deadlock can occur.
I am not quite sure whether this possible deadlock is real and how to
fix it if it is real.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks :)
