When PMD releases shared IB device context, It locks the mlx5_ibv_list_mutex lock throughout the function so that it does not happen while removing a device from the list, another process will try to insert another device into it. On the other hand, having removed the device from the list even if it has not yet released all of its resources, it should not care about other processes and can release the lock. However, the PMD does not release the lock even though it can, and performs a number of operations, some of which include sleep and may be long. To improve this, shorten the lock time to the minimum necessary. Signed-off-by: Michael Baum <michaelba@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Matan Azrad <matan@mellanox.com>
