I got out my old PLX hardware to cleanup the issues that Sashiko reported
after I submitted another fix earlier this year. While testing, I also hit
a sleeping BUG that trigger when unbinding the driver which is fixed
in the first patch.
I think every patch is easily understood and independent.
This series is based off of v7.4rc1.
Thanks,
Logan

plx_dma_free_chan_resources() calls pci_irq_vector() inside an RCU
read-side section, but msi_domain_get_virq() takes the mutex that
protects the device's MSI descriptors. Releasing a channel, for example
at the end of a dmatest run, triggers:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:623
...
RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0
Call Trace:
__mutex_lock+0x113/0x2350
msi_domain_get_virq+0x227/0x2f0
pci_irq_vector+0x9a/0xc0
plx_dma_free_chan_resources+0x178/0x58f [plx_dma]
dma_chan_put+0x157/0x380
dma_release_channel+0xac/0x2e0
Store the IRQ number at probe time and use it everywhere
pci_irq_vector() was called, so the teardown path no longer needs to
look it up.

If the device is removed between plx_dma_alloc_desc() and the pdev
check, the error path frees hw_ring but leaks desc_ring and every
descriptor in it.
Add plx_dma_free_desc() and use it here and in
plx_dma_free_chan_resources().

plx_dma_issue_pending() writes PLX_REG_CTRL with writew(), but it is a
32-bit register and every other access uses writel()/readl().

Add a dma_rmb() after the write-back status check so reads of the
transferred data can't be satisfied before the read that showed the
transfer was complete.

plx_dma_process_desc() is also called from plx_dma_tx_status() in
process context. With a plain spin_lock(), the desc_task tasklet can
run on the same CPU while the lock is held, and spin on it forever.

plx_dma_process_desc() and plx_dma_abort_desc() invoke the client's
completion callback with ring_lock held. A callback that submits a new
transfer, which is common, deadlocks taking the same lock in
plx_dma_prep_memcpy().
Copy and clear the callback and advance tail under the lock, then drop
the lock to invoke it.
