Usage of mutex_trylock() in ice_vc_process_vf_msg() is incorrect
because message sent from VF is ignored and never processed.

Use mutex_lock() instead to fix the issue. It is safe because this
We need to know what is *the* issue in the first place.
Could you please provide more context what is being fixed to the readers
that don't have an access to bugzilla?

Specifically, what is the case that ignoring a particular message when
mutex is already held is a broken behavior?
Reproducer:

<code>
#!/bin/sh

set -xe

PF="ens7f0"
VF="${PF}v0"

echo 1 > /sys/class/net/${PF}/device/sriov_numvfs
sleep 2

ip link set ${VF} up
ip addr add 172.30.29.11/24 dev ${VF}

while true; do

# Set VF to be trusted
ip link set ${PF} vf 0 trust on

# Ping server again
ping -c5 172.30.29.2 || {
        echo Ping failed
        ip link show dev ${VF} # <- No carrier here
        break
}

ip link set ${PF} vf 0 trust off
sleep 1

done

echo 0 > /sys/class/net/${PF}/device/sriov_numvfs
</code>

</sample>

User set VF to be trusted so .ndo_set_vf_trust (ice_set_vf_trust) is called.
Function ice_set_vf_trust() takes vf->cfg_lock and calls ice_vc_reset_vf() that
sends message to iavf that initiates reset task. During this reset task iavf sends
config messages to ice. These messages are handled in ice_service_task() context
via ice_clean_adminq_subtask() -> __ice_clean_ctrlq() ->
ice_vc_process_vf_msg().
Right. Because the reset isn't finished in the PF by the time that the caller starts sending messages back.

I also think that this could be buggy if cfg_lock is held elsewhere too (though reset is the most likely problem).

Especially since the recent changes we did in ice to hold cfg_lock in more places to protect against concurrently configuring VFs. I think I agree with Ivans change (though perhaps we should re-test some cases for why we made this a try lock originally).

The only other concern was mentioned in a different message by Brett. Perhaps we also want to cancel any outstanding messages from the VF when we start a reset (since we're going to reset the VF and we don't really want to process any of its messages that were issued before the reset).

Thanks,
Jake
Function ice_vc_process_vf_msg() tries to take vf->cfg_lock but this can be locked
from ice_set_vf_trust() yet (as in sample above). The lock attempt failed so the
function
returns, message is not processed.

Thanks,
Ivan
