This reverts commit aa626da947e9cd30c4cf727493903e1adbb2c0a0.
Detaching device during reset was not fully fixing the rtnl locking issue,
as there could be a situation where callback was already in progress before
detaching netdev.
Furthermore, detaching netdevice causes TX timeouts if traffic is running.
To reproduce:
ip netns exec ns1 iperf3 -c $PEER_IP -t 600 --logfile /dev/null &
while :; do
for i in 200 7000 400 5000 300 3000 ; do
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set $VF1 mtu $i
sleep 2
done
sleep 10
done
Currently, callbacks such as iavf_change_mtu() wait for the reset.
If the reset fails to acquire the rtnl_lock, they schedule the netdev
update for later while continuing the reset flow. Operations like MTU
changes are performed under the rtnl_lock. Therefore, when the operation
finishes, another callback that uses rtnl_lock can start.

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.
