The mlx5 internal list utility is thread safe. In order to synchronize list access between the threads, a RW lock is taken for the critical sections. The create\remove\clone\clone_free operations are in the critical sections. These operations are heavy and make the critical sections heavy because they are used for memory and other resources allocations\deallocations. Moved out the operations from the critical sections and use generation counter in order to detect parallel allocations.
