From 3ec523304976648b45a3eef045e97d17122ff1b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saurabh Sengar Date: Thu, 29 May 2025 03:18:30 -0700 Subject: hv_netvsc: fix potential deadlock in netvsc_vf_setxdp() The MANA driver's probe registers netdevice via the following call chain: mana_probe() register_netdev() register_netdevice() register_netdevice() calls notifier callback for netvsc driver, holding the netdev mutex via netdev_lock_ops(). Further this netvsc notifier callback end up attempting to acquire the same lock again in dev_xdp_propagate() leading to deadlock. netvsc_netdev_event() netvsc_vf_setxdp() dev_xdp_propagate() This deadlock was not observed so far because net_shaper_ops was never set, and thus the lock was effectively a no-op in this case. Fix this by using netif_xdp_propagate() instead of dev_xdp_propagate() to avoid recursive locking in this path. And, since no deadlock is observed on the other path which is via netvsc_probe, add the lock exclusivly for that path. Also, clean up the unregistration path by removing the unnecessary call to netvsc_vf_setxdp(), since unregister_netdevice_many_notify() already performs this cleanup via dev_xdp_uninstall().
