4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5e44fca5047054f1762813751626b5245e0da022 upstream. Do not attempt to drain the health workqueue when unloading the device in the recovery flow, this can cause a deadlock when the recovery work tries to cancel itself with sync. Because the work is no longer unconditionally canceled when unloading, it must be explicitly canceled in the AER flow. fixes: 689a248df83b ("net/mlx5: Cancel recovery work in remove flow") Signed-off-by: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
