Mellanox took it offlist, and Sep 6th found that this is a regression
introduced by commit 269d26f47f6f ("net/mlx5: Reduce command polling
interval"), but only if CONFIG_PREEMPT is on.
I can confirm that reverting this commit fixed the issue (and not the
firmware upgrade I also did).
I think Moshe (Cc) is responsible for this case, and I expect to soon
see a revert or alternative solution to this!?
Thanks for the kick Alexei :-)
