Subject: [net 05/15] net/mlx5: Add retry mechanism to the command entry index allocation
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 19:05:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201001020516.41217-6-saeed@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201001020516.41217-1-saeed@kernel.org>

From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@nvidia.com>

It is possible that new command entry index allocation will temporarily
fail. The new command holds the semaphore, so it means that a free entry
should be ready soon. Add one second retry mechanism before returning an
error.

Patch "net/mlx5: Avoid possible free of command entry while timeout comp
handler" increase the possibility to bump into this temporarily failure
as it delays the entry index release for non-callback commands.

Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
