This patch series fixes for critical bugs introduced due to recent
changes in linux Infiniband stack.
Patch 0001 fixes a vlan-id assignment issues in presence of PFC.
This bug was introduced recently got introduced and it fixes
dbf727de7440 ('IB/core: Use GID table in AH creation and dmac resolution')
Patches 0002 to 0004 fixes a deadlock condition reported by Dough Ledford
while testing linux-4.4-rc5. The deadlock happens when any be2net hook
(e.g. open/close) is called in parallel to insmod ocrdma.ko.
A. be2net is sending administrative open/close event to ocrdma holding
device_list_mutex. It does this from ndo_open/ndo_stop hooks of be2net.
So sequence of locks is rtnl_lock---> device_list lock
B. When new ocrdma roce device gets registered, infiniband stack now
takes rtnl_lock in ib_register_device() in GID initialization routines.
So sequence of locks in this path is device_list lock ---> rtnl_lock.
This improper locking sequence causes deadlock.
Patch 0002 removes an unwanted code to force all active-QPs to error state
using a management command. It is rather simple to let active-QPs to move
to error on their own due to a completion error after the port error is
reported.
Patch 0003 makes IB-dispatch-event mechanism independent of administrative
open/close events injected from be2net driver. Instead of those events, now
ocrdma relies on async-events generated from CNA. Thus, solving the problem
of keeping device_list_mutex busy under rtnl-lock. Moving from administrative
events to CNA async-events does not change the functionality of ocrdma driver
in any way.
Patch 0004 Removes the dead code from be2net driver.
