[PATCH v2] powerpc/eeh: Fix recursive locking on devices without EEH sensitive driver

From: Shivaprasad G Bhat <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-14 17:16:41
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), pci enhanced error handling (eeh) for powerpc, the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Mahesh J Salgaonkar, Linus Torvalds

The commit 1010b4c012b0 ("powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device hotplug
safe") refactored the EEH code such that the pci_rescan_remove_lock is
held at the beginning of eeh_handle_normal_event() and the
eeh_reset_device() is called with that lock being held. Looks like the
commit missed to remove the existing lock/unlock inside eeh_rmv_device()
which is no longer necessary. This is causing the eehd to hang on the
lock which it actually holds when that code path is taken.

The issue is seen for cases where the errors are detected on the PHB
directly AND|OR for devices where the driver error_detected() returns
PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, and driver being not EEH sensitive(i.e no
error handlers like slot_reset(), resume() etc defined).
