PCI: pciehp: Use per-slot workqueues to avoid deadlock
When we have a hotplug-capable PCIe port with a second hotplug-capable
PCIe port below it, removing the device below the upstream port causes
a deadlock.
The deadlock happens because we use the pciehp_wq workqueue to run
pciehp_power_thread(), which uses pciehp_disable_slot() to remove devices
below the upstream port. When we remove the downstream PCIe port, we call
pciehp_remove(), the pciehp driver's .remove() method. That calls
flush_workqueue(pciehp_wq), which deadlocks because the
pciehp_power_thread() work item is still running.
This patch avoids the deadlock by creating a workqueue for every PCIe port
and removing the single shared workqueue.
Here's the call path that leads to the deadlock:
pciehp_queue_pushbutton_work
queue_work(pciehp_wq) # queue pciehp_power_thread
...
pciehp_power_thread
pciehp_disable_slot
remove_board
pciehp_unconfigure_device
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device
...
pciehp_remove # pciehp driver .remove method
pciehp_release_ctrl
pcie_cleanup_slot
flush_workqueue(pciehp_wq)
This is fairly urgent because it can be caused by simply unplugging a
Thunderbolt adapter, as reported by Daniel below.
