Subject: IB/mlx5: Avoid system crash when enabling many VFs
From: Eli Cohen <eli@mellanox.com>
commit afd02cd3a9b6c04b41d946b5d7f6e17b3fc30c6b upstream.
When enabling many VFs, the total amount of DMA mappings increase
significantly. This causes DMA allocations to take a lot of time
since they are serialized in the kernel.
As a result the driver enters into fatal condition due to
timeout and the system hangs. To recover from this we disable
MR cache for VFs.
PFs will still have a full cache and VFs cache can be manipulated
as usual after driver load.
