In case fw sync reset is called in parallel to device removal, device might stuck in the following deadlock: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- remove_one uninit_one (locks intf_state_mutex) mlx5_sync_reset_now_event() work in fw_reset->wq. mlx5_enter_error_state() mutex_lock (intf_state_mutex) cleanup_once fw_reset_cleanup() destroy_workqueue(fw_reset->wq) Drain the fw_reset WQ, and make sure no new work is being queued, before entering uninit_one(). The Drain is done before devlink_unregister() since fw_reset, in some flows, is using devlink API devlink_remote_reload_actions_performed().

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 Restructured Text 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.
