Currently if the work queue is running then it is in 'hysteresis' mode and will fill until the cache reaches the high water mark. This implicit state is very tricky and doesn't interact with pending very well. Instead of self re-scheduling the work queue after the add_keys() has started to create the new MR, have the queue scheduled from reg_mr_callback() only after the requested MR has been added. This avoids the bad design of an in-rush of queue'd work doing back to back add_keys() until EAGAIN then sleeping. The add_keys() will be paced one at a time as they complete, slowly filling up the cache. Also, fix pending to be only manipulated under lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
