[ Upstream commit 815a8d2feb5615ae7f0b5befd206af0b0160614c ]

The recent commit 1010b4c012b0 ("powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device
hotplug safe") restructured the EEH driver to improve synchronization
with the PCI hotplug layer.

However, it inadvertently moved pci_lock_rescan_remove() outside its
intended scope in eeh_handle_normal_event(), leading to broken PCI
error reporting and improper EEH event triggering. Specifically,
eeh_handle_normal_event() acquired pci_lock_rescan_remove() before
calling eeh_pe_bus_get(), but eeh_pe_bus_get() itself attempts to
acquire the same lock internally, causing nested locking and disrupting
normal EEH event handling paths.

This patch adds a boolean parameter do_lock to _eeh_pe_bus_get(),
with two public wrappers:
    eeh_pe_bus_get() with locking enabled.
    eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() that skips locking.

Callers that already hold pci_lock_rescan_remove() now use
eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() to avoid recursive lock acquisition.

Additionally, pci_lock_rescan_remove() calls are restored to the correct
position—after eeh_pe_bus_get() and immediately before iterating affected
PEs and devices. This ensures EEH-triggered PCI removes occur under proper
bus rescan locking without recursive lock contention.

The eeh_pe_loc_get() function has been split into two functions:
    eeh_pe_loc_get(struct eeh_pe *pe) which retrieves the loc for given PE.
    eeh_pe_loc_get_bus(struct pci_bus *bus) which retrieves the location
    code for given bus.

This resolves lockdep warnings such as:

Ever since uevent support was added for AER and EEH with commit

reported PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE as uevent when recovery begins.

Commit 7b42d97e99d3 ("PCI/ERR: Always report current recovery status for

error_detected().

Make the same change to EEH to align it with AER and s390.

Multiple race conditions existed between the PCIe hotplug driver and the
EEH driver, leading to a variety of kernel oopses of the same general
nature:

&lt;pcie device unplug&gt;
&lt;eeh driver trigger&gt;
&lt;hotplug removal trigger&gt;
&lt;pcie tree reconfiguration&gt;
&lt;eeh recovery next step&gt;
&lt;oops in EEH driver bus iteration loop&gt;

A second class of oops is also seen when the underlying bus disappears
during device recovery.

Refactor the EEH module to be PCI rescan and remove safe.  Also clean
up a few minor formatting / readability issues.

<title>powerpc: Don't use %pK through printk</title>

<id>4bb69d5270df0f78874c93efade580d9550b34a9</id>
<content type='text'>
In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.

In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Permanently disable the removed device</title>

When a device is hot removed on powernv, the hotplug driver clears
the device's state. However, on pseries, if a device is removed by
phyp after reaching the error threshold, the kernel remains unaware,
leading to the device not being torn down. This prevents necessary
remediation actions like failover.

Permanently disable the device if the presence check fails.

Also, in eeh_dev_check_failure in we may consider the error as false
positive if the device is hotpluged out as the get_state call returns
EEH_STATE_NOT_SUPPORT and we may end up not clearing the device state,
so log the event if the state is not moved to permanent failure state.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Set channel state after notifying the drivers</title>

<id>9efcdaac36e1643a1b7f5337e6143ce142d381b1</id>
<content type='text'>
When a PCI error is encountered 6th time in an hour we
set the channel state to perm_failure and notify the
driver about the permanent failure.

However, after upstream commit 38ddc011478e ("powerpc/eeh:
Make permanently failed devices non-actionable"), EEH handler
stops calling any routine once the device is marked as
permanent failure. This issue can lead to fatal consequences
like kernel hang with certain PCI devices.

Following log is observed with lpfc driver, with and without
this change, Without this change kernel hangs, If PCI error
is encountered 6 times for a device in an hour.

Without the change

 EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
 PCI 0132:60:00.0#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
 PCI 0132:60:00.1#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
 EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'

With the change

 EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
 EEH: Invoking lpfc-&gt;error_detected(permanent failure)
 EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
 EEH: Invoking lpfc-&gt;error_detected(permanent failure)
 EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
 EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'

To fix the issue, set channel state to permanent failure after
notifying the drivers.

Since commit 87c78b612f4f ("powerpc: Fix all occurences of "the the"")
fixed "the the", there's now a steady stream of patches fixing other
duplicate words.

Just fix them all at once, to save the overhead of dealing with
individual patches for each case.

This leaves a few cases of "that that", which in some contexts is
correct.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Use a goto for recovery failures</title>

<id>157616f3c2284f13ca7db9897293f944e6ab8199</id>
<content type='text'>
The EEH recovery logic in eeh_handle_normal_event() has some pretty strange
flow control. If we remove all the actual recovery logic we're left with
the following skeleton:

	if (result != PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT) {
		...
	}

	if (result != PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT) {
		...
	}

	if (result == PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE) {
		...
	}

	if (result == PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER) {
		...
	}

	if (result == PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER) {
		...
	}

	if (result == PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET) {
		...
	}

	if ((result == PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED) ||
	    (result == PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE)) {
		...
		goto out;
	}

	/*
	 * unsuccessful recovery / PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONECTED
	 * handling is here.
	 */
	...

	out:
	...

Most of the "if () { ... }" blocks above change "result" to
PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECTED if an error occurs in that recovery step. This
makes the control flow a bit confusing since it breaks the early-exit
pattern that is generally used in Linux. In any case we end up handling the
error in the final else block so why not just jump there directly? Doing so
also allows us to de-indent a bunch of code.

No functional changes.

[dja: rebase on top of linux-next + my preceeding refactor,
      move clearing the EEH_DEV_NO_HANDLER bit above the first goto so that
      it is always clear in the error handler code as it was before.]
