There is a deadlock in irdma_cleanup_cm_core(), which is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | irdma_schedule_cm_timer() irdma_cleanup_cm_core() | add_timer() spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | irdma_cm_timer_tick() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ... We hold cm_core->ht_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler also need cm_core->ht_lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result, irdma_cleanup_cm_core() will block forever. This patch removes the check of timer_pending() in irdma_cleanup_cm_core(), because the del_timer_sync() function will just return directly if there isn't a pending timer. As a result, the lock is redundant, because there is no resource it could protect.
