Philipp Stanner fc8c818e75 PCI: Fix potential deadlock in pcim_intx()
25216afc9d ("PCI: Add managed pcim_intx()") moved the allocation step for
pci_intx()'s device resource from pcim_enable_device() to pcim_intx(). As
before, pcim_enable_device() sets pci_dev.is_managed to true; and it is
never set to false again.

Due to the lifecycle of a struct pci_dev, it can happen that a second
driver obtains the same pci_dev after a first driver ran.  If one driver
uses pcim_enable_device() and the other doesn't, this causes the other
driver to run into managed pcim_intx(), which will try to allocate when
called for the first time.

Allocations might sleep, so calling pci_intx() while holding spinlocks
becomes then invalid, which causes lockdep warnings and could cause
deadlocks:

  ========================================================
  WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
  6.11.0-rc6+ #59 Tainted: G        W
  --------------------------------------------------------
  CPU 0/KVM/1537 just changed the state of lock:
  ffffa0f0cff965f0 (&vdev->irqlock){-...}-{2:2}, at:
  vfio_intx_handler+0x21/0xd0 [vfio_pci_core] but this lock took another,
  HARDIRQ-unsafe lock in the past: (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(fs_reclaim);
			       local_irq_disable();
			       lock(&vdev->irqlock);
			       lock(fs_reclaim);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&vdev->irqlock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

Have pcim_enable_device()'s release function, pcim_disable_device(), set
pci_dev.is_managed to false so that subsequent drivers using the same
struct pci_dev do not implicitly run into managed code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
