Subject: [PATCH V3] rdma_rxe: call comp_handler without holding cq->cq_lock
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 21:56:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925195640.32594-1-philipp.reisner@linbit.com> (raw)

Allow the comp_handler callback implementation to call ib_poll_cq().
A call to ib_poll_cq() calls rxe_poll_cq() with the rdma_rxe driver.
And rxe_poll_cq() locks cq->cq_lock. That leads to a spinlock deadlock.

The Mellanox and Intel drivers allow a comp_handler callback
implementation to call ib_poll_cq().

Avoid the deadlock by calling the comp_handler callback without
holding cq->cq_lock.

Other InfiniBand drivers call the comp_handler callback from a single
thread, in the RXE driver, acquiring the cq->cq_lock has achieved that
up to now. As that gets removed, introduce a new lock dedicated to
making the execution of the comp_handler single-threaded.

Changelog:
 v2 -> v3:
   - make execution of comp_handler single-threaded

 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250822081941.989520-1-philipp.reisner@linbit.com/

 v1 -> v2:
   - Only reset cq->notify to 0 when invoking the comp_handler

 v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250806123921.633410-1-philipp.reisner@linbit.com/
