This patch solves a race between work elements that are carried out after an
event occurs. When SM address handle becomes invalid and needs an update it is
handled by a work in the global workqueue. On the other hand this event is also
handled in ib_ipoib by queuing a work in the ipoib_workqueue that does mcast
join.
Although queuing is in the right order, it is done to 2 different workqueues
and so
there is no guarantee that the first to be queued is the first to be executed.
The patch sets the SM address handle to NULL and until update_sm_ah() is
called,
any request that needs sm_ah is replied with -EAGAIN return status.
For consumers, the patch doesn't make things worse. Before the patch, MADS are
sent to the
wrong SM so the request gets lost. Consumers can be improved if they examine
the return
code and respond to EAGAIN properly but even without an improvement the
situation
is not getting worse and in some cases it gets better.
