PCI: pciehp: Use per-slot workqueues to avoid deadlock
commit c2be6f93b383c873a4f9d521afa49b1b67d06085 upstream. When we have a hotplug-capable PCIe port with a second hotplug-capable PCIe port below it, removing the device below the upstream port causes a deadlock. The deadlock happens because we use the pciehp_wq workqueue to run pciehp_power_thread(), which uses pciehp_disable_slot() to remove devices below the upstream port. When we remove the downstream PCIe port, we call pciehp_remove(), the pciehp driver's .remove() method. That calls flush_workqueue(pciehp_wq), which deadlocks because the pciehp_power_thread() work item is still running. This patch avoids the deadlock by creating a workqueue for every PCIe port and removing the single shared workqueue. Here's the call path that leads to the deadlock: pciehp_queue_pushbutton_work queue_work(pciehp_wq) # queue pciehp_power_thread ... pciehp_power_thread pciehp_disable_slot remove_board pciehp_unconfigure_device pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device ... pciehp_remove # pciehp driver .remove method pciehp_release_ctrl pcie_cleanup_slot flush_workqueue(pciehp_wq) This is fairly urgent because it can be caused by simply unplugging a Thunderbolt adapter, as reported by Daniel below.
