[PATCH] nfp: nfp_alloc_bar: Fix double unlock

From: WangYuli <hidden>
Date: 2025-06-23 04:13:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: netronome ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The lock management in the nfp_alloc_bar function is problematic:

 *1. The function acquires the lock at the beginning:
spin_lock_irqsave(&nfp->bar_lock, irqflags).

  2. When barnum < 0 and in non-blocking mode, the code jumps to
the err_nobar label. However, in this non-blocking path, if
barnum < 0, the code releases the lock and calls nfp_wait_for_bar.

  3. Inside nfp_wait_for_bar, find_unused_bar_and_lock is called,
which holds the lock upon success (indicated by the __release
annotation). Consequently, when nfp_wait_for_bar returns
successfully, the lock is still held.

  4. But at the err_nobar label, the code always executes
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&nfp->bar_lock, irqflags).

  5. The problem arises when nfp_wait_for_bar successfully finds a
BAR: the lock is still held, but if a subsequent reconfigure_bar
fails, the code will attempt to unlock it again at err_nobar,
leading to a double unlock.
