RDMA/ocrdma: Depend on async link events from CNA
Recently Dough Ledford reported a deadlock happening between ocrdma-load sequence and NetworkManager service issuing "open" on be2net interface. 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. With this patch we stop using administrative open and close events injected by be2net driver. These events were used to dispatch PORT_ACTIVE and PORT_ERROR events to the IB-stack. This patch implements a logic to receive async-link-events generated from CNA whenever link-state-change is detected. Now on, these async-events will be used to dispatch PORT_ACTIVE and PORT_ERROR events to IB-stack. Depending on async-events from CNA removes the need to hold device-list-mutex and thus breaks the busy-wait scenario.
