[PATCH net v2] net: mana: fix reset work race with device removal
From: Fan Wu <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-05 02:38:44
The reset service work is queued on the system workqueue and can
outlive mana_gd_remove(), which frees the GDMA context. It may
then dereference gc through the stale service work.
Embed the service work in gdma_context and make GC_IN_SERVICE describe
whether it may still access gc. Removal and probe unwind close new
admission with GC_REMOVING and wait for an admitted cycle to retire
before clearing drvdata and freeing gc. Service exits retire before
taking the PCI rescan/remove lock, avoiding a lock-cycle with remove.
Do not admit service work while probe is still constructing or
unwinding the device. Latch reset events seen during probe and let
the probe rollback/recovery path handle them; a boundary recheck
preserves events racing probe completion.
The service work stays on the system workqueue because a reset cycle
destroys and re-creates gc->service_wq.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

Changes since v1 ([off-list ref],
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260805143812.220509-1-fanwu01@zju.edu.cn):
- Dropped the device_lock() serialisation: holding the driver-core
device lock across mana_gd_suspend() + msleep() + mana_gd_resume()
blocks unbind, reboot, device PM and all PCI hotplug for up to a
full reset cycle, and can deadlock against the
flush_workqueue()/destroy_workqueue() of gc->service_wq.
- Replaced it with admission/drain gates: GC_REMOVING closes new
admission and the freeing paths wait for an admitted cycle to
retire (clear_bit_unlock/test_bit_acquire pairing) before clearing
drvdata and calling vfree(); the failed-resume rescan no longer
reopens admission, and mana_tx_timeout() also skips queue-reset
work during removal.
- No longer admit service work before the probe completes (the
reset-event handler no longer overloads GC_PROBE_SUCCEEDED with a
mid-probe latch); the FPGA reconfig exit and the probe-failure
recovery path are gated as well.
- Reference series for the HWC lifecycle model:
