[PATCH net 1/4] igb: narrow scope of vfs_lock in SR-IOV cleanup

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
Date: 2025-02-04 17:52:54

Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Wander Lairson Costa <redacted>

The adapter->vfs_lock currently protects critical sections shared between
igb_disable_sriov() and igb_msg_task(). Since igb_msg_task() - which is
invoked solely by the igb_msix_other() ISR-only proceeds when
adapter->vfs_allocated_count > 0, we can reduce the lock scope further.

By moving the assignment adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 to the start of the
cleanup code in igb_disable_sriov(), we can restrict the spinlock protection
solely to this assignment. This change removes kfree() calls from within the
locked section, simplifying lock management.

Once kfree() is outside the vfs_lock scope, it becomes possible to safely
convert vfs_lock to a raw_spin_lock.
