Commit Message

Jason Gunthorpe Oct. 27, 2020, 12:20 p.m. UTC 
There are two flows for handling RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_RESOLVED, either the
handler triggers a completion and another thread does rdma_connect() or
the handler directly calls rdma_connect().

In all cases rdma_connect() needs to hold the handler_mutex, but when
handler's are invoked this is already held by the core code. This causes
ULPs using the 2nd method to deadlock.

Provide a rdma_connect_locked() and have all ULPs call it from their
handlers.

v2:
 - Remove extra code from nvme (Chao)
 - Fix long lines (CH)

I've applied this version to rdma-rc - expecting to get these ULPs unbroken for rc2
release

Thanks,
Jason

Not a big deal, but his label is not correct anymore.

You need to delete the mutex_unlock in success path too.
