commit e6ba5273d4ede03d075d7a116b8edad1f6115f4d upstream.
The VF can be configured via the PF's ndo ops at the same time the PF is
receiving/handling virtchnl messages. This has many issues, with
one of them being the ndo op could be actively resetting a VF (i.e.
resetting it to the default state and deleting/re-adding the VF's VSI)
while a virtchnl message is being handled. The following error was seen
because a VF ndo op was used to change a VF's trust setting while the
VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES was ongoing:
[35274.192484] ice 0000:88:00.0: Failed to set LAN Tx queue context, error: ICE_ERR_PARAM
[35274.193074] ice 0000:88:00.0: VF 0 failed opcode 6, retval: -5
[35274.193640] iavf 0000:88:01.0: PF returned error -5 (IAVF_ERR_PARAM) to our request 6
Fix this by making sure the virtchnl handling and VF ndo ops that
trigger VF resets cannot run concurrently. This is done by adding a
struct mutex cfg_lock to each VF structure. For VF ndo ops, the mutex
will be locked around the critical operations and VFR. Since the ndo ops
will trigger a VFR, the virtchnl thread will use mutex_trylock(). This
is done because if any other thread (i.e. VF ndo op) has the mutex, then
that means the current VF message being handled is no longer valid, so
just ignore it.
This issue can be seen using the following commands:
for i in {0..50}; do
rmmod ice
modprobe ice
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f0/device/sriov_numvfs
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f1/device/sriov_numvfs
ip link set ens785f1 vf 0 trust on
ip link set ens785f0 vf 0 trust on
sleep 2
echo 0 > /sys/class/net/ens785f0/device/sriov_numvfs
echo 0 > /sys/class/net/ens785f1/device/sriov_numvfs
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f0/device/sriov_numvfs
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens785f1/device/sriov_numvfs
ip link set ens785f1 vf 0 trust on
ip link set ens785f0 vf 0 trust on
done

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.
