As I said earlier, this reintroduces the deadlock addressed by
cdcb33f9824429a926b971bf041a6cec238f91ff

Thanks Matthew, sorry for that I did not understand the way to reintroduce
the deadlock and sent this patch. If what I think is right, the possible
deadlock may be caused by the condition in which there are three processes:

*Process* *Acquired* *Wait For*
wake_up_all() wq_head->lock pi_lock
snbep_uncore_pci_read_counter() pi_lock pci_lock
pci_wait_cfg() pci_lock wq_head->lock

These processes suffer from the nested locks.:)

But for this problem, what do you think about the solution below:

diff --git a/drivers/pci/access.c b/drivers/pci/access.c
index 2fccb5762c76..09342a74e5ea 100644
--- a/drivers/pci/access.c
+++ b/drivers/pci/access.c
@@ -207,14 +207,14 @@ static noinline void pci_wait_cfg(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current);

- __add_wait_queue(&pci_cfg_wait, &wait);
do {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&pci_lock);
+ add_wait_queue(&pci_cfg_wait, &wait);
schedule();
+ remove_wait_queue(&pci_cfg_wait, &wait);
raw_spin_lock_irq(&pci_lock);
} while (dev->block_cfg_access);
- __remove_wait_queue(&pci_cfg_wait, &wait);
}

/* Returns 0 on success, negative values indicate error. */
