In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Revert "PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV"

This reverts commit 05703271c3cd ("PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV"), which causes a deadlock by recursively taking pci_rescan_remove_lock when sriov_del_vfs() is called as part of pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). For example with the following sequence of commands:

$ echo > /sys/bus/pci/devices//sriov_numvfs $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices//remove

A trimmed trace of the deadlock on a mlx5 device is as below:

zsh/5715 is trying to acquire lock: 000002597926ef50 (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sriov_disable+0x34/0x140

This alone is not a complete fix as it restores the issue the cited commit tried to solve. A new fix will be provided as a follow on.
