6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 7db3111043885c146e795c199d39c3f9042d97c0 ]
It is not safe to initialize the waitqueues after queueing the
watchdog_task. It will be using them.
The chance of this causing a real problem is very small, because
there will be some sleeping before any of the waitqueues get used.
I got a crash only after inserting an artificial sleep in iavf_probe.
Queue the watchdog_task as the last step in iavf_probe. Add a comment to
prevent repeating the mistake.
Fixes: fe2647ab0c99 ("i40evf: prevent VF close returning before state transitions to DOWN")
