net/mlx5: Fix a lockdep warning as part of the write combining test
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix a lockdep warning [1] observed during the write combining test.

The warning indicates a potential nested lock scenario that could lead
to a deadlock.

However, this is a false positive alarm because the SF lock and its
parent lock are distinct ones.

The lockdep confusion arises because the locks belong to the same object
class (i.e., struct mlx5_core_dev).

To resolve this, the code has been refactored to avoid taking both
locks. Instead, only the parent lock is acquired.

[1]
raw_ethernet_bw/2118 is trying to acquire lock:
