Moni Shoua 296e3a2aad IB/mlx5: Prevent concurrent MR updates during invalidation
The device requires that memory registration work requests that update the
address translation table of a MR will be fenced if posted together.  This
scenario can happen when address ranges are invalidated by the mmu in
separate concurrent calls to the invalidation callback.

We prefer to block concurrent address updates for a single MR over fencing
since making the decision if a WQE needs fencing will be more expensive
and fencing all WQEs is a too radical choice.

Further, it isn't clear that this code can even run safely concurrently,
so a lock is a safer choice.

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.
