Revert "iavf: Detach device during reset task"
This reverts commit aa626da9. Detaching device during reset was not fully fixing the rtnl locking issue, as there could be a situation where callback was already in progress before detaching netdev. Furthermore, detaching netdevice causes TX timeouts if traffic is running. To reproduce: ip netns exec ns1 iperf3 -c $PEER_IP -t 600 --logfile /dev/null & while :; do for i in 200 7000 400 5000 300 3000 ; do ip netns exec ns1 ip link set $VF1 mtu $i sleep 2 done sleep 10 done Currently, callbacks such as iavf_change_mtu() wait for the reset. If the reset fails to acquire the rtnl_lock, they schedule the netdev update for later while continuing the reset flow. Operations like MTU changes are performed under the rtnl_lock. Therefore, when the operation finishes, another callback that uses rtnl_lock can start.
