Subject: [PATCH] qed: fix possible unpaired spin_{un}lock_bh in _qed_mcp_cmd_and_union()

Liajian reported a bug_on hit on a ThunderX2 arm64 server with FastLinQ
QL41000 ethernet controller:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/0:4/531/0x00000200
[qed_probe:488()]hw prepare failed
kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:2355!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] SMP

In this case, qed_hw_prepare() returns error due to hw/fw error, but in
theory work queue should be in process context instead of interrupt.

The root cause might be the unpaired spin_{un}lock_bh() in
_qed_mcp_cmd_and_union(), which causes botton half is disabled incorrectly.

Thanks.
If possible, please also Cc: [email protected] because the bug seemed to
be there for a long time.

This patch is adding additional spin_{un}lock_bh().
Can you please enlighten about the exact flow causing this unpaired
spin_{un}lock_bh.

Also,
as per description, looks like you are not sure actual the root-cause.
does this patch really solved the problem?

For instance:
_qed_mcp_cmd_and_union()
In while loop
spin_lock_bh()
qed_mcp_has_pending_cmd() (assume false), will break the loop
if (cnt >= max_retries) {
...
return -EAGAIN; <-- here returns -EAGAIN without invoking bh unlock
}

I don't have that ThunderX2 to verify the patch.
But I searched all the spin_lock/unlock_bh and spin_lock_irqsave/irqrestore
under driver/.../qlogic, this is the only problematic point I could figure
out. And this might be possible code path of qed_probe().

I agree till here.

Because of break, cnt has not been increased.
- cnt is still less than max_retries.
- if (cnt >= max_retries) will not be *true*, leading to spin_unlock_bh().
Hence pairing completed.

I am not seeing any issue here.

Without testing and proper root-cause, it is tough to accept the suggested fix.

Sorry, indeed. Let me check other possibilities.
@David S. Miller Sorry for the inconvenience, could you please revert it
in netdev tree?

Apologies again.
