In the scenario described below, an EQ can remain in FIRED state which
can result in missing an interrupt generation.
The scenario:
device mlx5_core driver
------ ----------------
EQ1.eqe generated
EQ1.MSI-X sent
EQ1.state = FIRED
EQ2.eqe generated
mlx5_irq()
polls - eq1_eqes()
arm eq1
polls - eq2_eqes()
arm eq2
EQ2.MSI-X sent
EQ2.state = FIRED
mlx5_irq()
polls - eq2_eqes() -- no eqes found
driver skips EQ arming;
->EQ2 remains fired, misses generating interrupt.
Hence, always arm the EQ by reverting the cited commit in fixes tag.

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.
