[net-next 06/14] net/mlx5e: Avoid false lock depenency warning on tc_ht

From: Saeed Mahameed <saeed@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-02-02 06:57:18
Subsystem: mellanox ethernet driver (mlx5e), mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Leon Romanovsky, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Roi Dayan <redacted>

To avoid false lock dependency warning set the tc_ht lock
class different than the lock class of the ht being used when deleting
last flow from a group and then deleting a group, we get into del_sw_flow_group()
which call rhashtable_destroy on fg->ftes_hash which will take ht->mutex but
it's different than the ht->mutex here.

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.11.0-rc4_net_next_mlx5_949fdcc #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
modprobe/12950 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88816510f910 (&node->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: mlx5_del_flow_rules+0x2a/0x210 [mlx5_core]

but task is already holding lock:
ffff88815834e3e8 (&ht->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rhashtable_free_and_destroy+0x37/0x340

which lock already depends on the new lock.
