[PATCH] pci: Avoid reentrant calls to work_on_cpu

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Tue May 14 2013 - 18:29:32 EST


This change is meant to fix a deadlock seen when pci_enable_sriov was
called from within a driver's probe routine. The issue was that
work_on_cpu calls flush_work which attempts to flush a work queue for a
cpu that we are currently working in. In order to avoid the reentrant
path we just skip the call to work_on_cpu in the case that the device
node matches our current node.

This patch is meant to address the issue pointed out in an earlier patch
sent by Yinghai Lu titled:
