mlx4 catas_reset hangs when using the CM

[sebastien dugue <sebastien.dugue-6ktuUTfB/bM@public.gmane.org>]

  Hi,

  when the mlx4 FW generate an internal error, the driver's catas code tries to
reset the HCA and restart the stack. However if the CM is in use at that moment,
the stack shutdown never completes and hangs in the CM waiting for a refcount
that never reaches 0.

  I've not much knowledge of how the CM works, but I have the following stack:

  and the following cma_device data:

crash> cma_device 0xffff88033c04f1c0
struct cma_device {
  list = {
    next = 0xdead000000100100, 
    prev = 0xdead000000200200
  }, 
  device = 0xffff8802e06b0000, 
  comp = {
    done = 0, 
    wait = {
      lock = {
        raw_lock = {
          slock = 65537
        }
      }, 
      task_list = {
        next = 0xffff880336113be8, 
        prev = 0xffff880336113be8
      }
    }
  }, 
  refcount = {
    counter = 1
  }, 
  id_list = {
    next = 0xffff88033c04f200, 
    prev = 0xffff88033c04f200
  }
}


  So it looks like that cma_process_remove() did all it's job cleaning up
but is hung waiting for the client refcount to reach 0, which never happens.

  This happens with OFED from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4.1.


  The steps to reproduce:

  1. start a qperf using the CM between 2 nodes (client and victim):

victim$ qperf
client$ qperf victim -cm 1 -t 10000 rc_bw

  2. trigger a catas reset on the victim node by writing something <> 0 at the
     HEAD of the mlx4 error buffer:

victim# mstmwrite mlx4_0 0x1f020 1
