From 93899a679fd6b2534b5c297d9316bae039ebcbe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Williamson Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 17:18:39 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] vfio-pci: Fix remove path locking Locking both the remove() and release() path results in a deadlock that should have been obvious. To fix this we can get and hold the vfio_device reference as we evaluate whether to do a bus/slot reset. This will automatically block any remove() calls, allowing us to remove the explict lock. Fixes 61d792562b53. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org [3.17] --- Reading git-format-patch failed
