A command is either polling or event driven and the mode cannot change
during execution of a command. Make sure the event handler only handle
commands which are not polled. This is done by checking the command mode
in the command handler before completing commands.

This counter will represent transmitted packets which has more than
1518 octets.
The NIC has multiple hardware counters for counting transmitted
packets larger than 1518 octets. Each counter counts the packets
in specific range.
We accumulate those counters to have a single counter.

When the mlx5 health mechanism detects a problem while the driver
is in the middle of init_one or remove_one, the driver needs to prevent
the health mechanism from scheduling future work; if future work
is scheduled, there is a problem with use-after-free: the system WQ
tries to run the work item (which has been freed) at the scheduled
future time.
Prevent this by disabling work item scheduling in the health mechanism
when the driver is in the middle of init_one() or remove_one().

All other mlx5_events report the port number as 1 based, which is how FW
reports it in the port event EQE. Reporting 0 for this event causes
mlx5_ib to not raise a fatal event notification to registered clients
due to a seemingly invalid port.
All switch cases in mlx5_ib_event that go through the port check are
supposed to set the port now, so just do it once at variable
declaration.

Copy small packets like TCP ACKs into a new mbuf
reusing the existing mbuf to receive a new ethernet

The hardware queues are deep enough currently and using the DRBR and associated

Modify QP can fail and it can be acceptable, like when moving from RST to
ERR state, all the rest are not acceptable and a message to the log
should be printed.
The current code prints on all failures and many messages like:
"Failed to modify QP to ERROR state" appear, even when supported by the
state machine of the QP object.

When a packet needs fragmentation, it might generate more than 3 fragments.
With the queue length 3, all fragments are generated faster than the
queue is drained, which effectively drops fourth and later fragments on
the floor.

When changing the MTU of ibX network interfaces, check that the MTU was really
changed before requesting an update of the multicast rules. Else we might go
into an infinite loop joining and leaving ibX multicast groups towards the
opensm master interface.

It is not enough to set ifnet->if_mtu to change the interface MTU.
System saves the MTU for route in the radix tree, and route cache keeps
the interface MTU as well. Since addition of the multicast group causes
recalculation of MTU, even bringing the interface up changes MTU from
4042 to 1500, which makes the system configuration inconsistent. Worse,
ip_output() prefers route MTU over interface MTU, so large packets are
not fragmented and dropped on floor.
Fix it for ipoib(4) using the same approach (or hack) as was applied
for it_tun/if_tap in r339012. Thanks to bz@ for giving the hint.

A couple of places in the CM do
spin_lock_irq(&cm_id_priv->lock);
...
if (cm_alloc_response_msg(work->port, work->mad_recv_wc, &msg))
However when the underlying transport is RoCE, this leads to a sleeping function
being called with the lock held - the callchain is
cm_alloc_response_msg() ->
ib_create_ah_from_wc() ->
ib_init_ah_from_wc() ->
rdma_addr_find_l2_eth_by_grh() ->
rdma_resolve_ip()
and rdma_resolve_ip() starts out by doing
req = kzalloc(sizeof *req, GFP_KERNEL);
not to mention rdma_addr_find_l2_eth_by_grh() doing
wait_for_completion(&ctx.comp);
to wait for the task that rdma_resolve_ip() queues up.
Fix this by moving the AH creation out of the lock.

Trying to validate loopback fails because rtalloc1() resolves system
local addresses to the loopback network interface, lo0. Fix this by
explicitly checking for loopback during validation of the source
and destination network address. If the source address belongs to
a local network interface and is equal to the destination address,
there is no need to run the destination address through rtalloc1().

The array ib_mad_mgmt_class_table.method_table has MAX_MGMT_CLASS
(80) elements. Hence compare the array index with that value instead
of with IB_MGMT_MAX_METHODS (128). This patch avoids that Coverity
reports the following:
Overrunning array class->method_table of 80 8-byte elements at element index 127
(byte offset 1016) using index convert_mgmt_class(mad_hdr->mgmt_class)
(which evaluates to 127).
