[PATCH v3] PCI: Call local_pci_probe() directly if current CPU is in the right node
Posted by Waiman Long 5 hours ago
local_pci_probe() and hence pci_call_probe() can be called
recursively. If the recursive calls are done indirectly via workqueue
kworker, a lockdep recursive warning can be produced. Below is the
stack trace of the lockdep warning on a 4-socket x86-64 Skylake server.

The use of work function originally comes from commit 873392ca514f
("PCI: work_on_cpu: use in drivers/pci/pci-driver.c") to execute the
device probing and allocate memory on the right node where the device
bus is attached to.

In the case of nested device probing within a work function, the current
CPU is likely to be in the right node already. So there is no point in
scheduling another work function in the same or a neigboring CPU and wait
for its completion. It will be more efficient to call local_pci_probe()
directly when the current CPU is indeed in the right node. That will
also avoid the lockdep warning due to nested calls to schedule and
flush a work function.
