On fatal error the driver simulates CQE's for ULPs that rely on
completion of all their posted work-request.
For the GSI traffic, the mlx5 has its own mechanism that sends the
completions via software CQE's directly to the relevant CQ.
This should be kept in fatal error too, so the driver should simulate
such CQE's with the specified error state in order to complete GSI QP
work requests.
Without the fix the next deadlock might appears:
schedule_timeout+0x274/0x350
wait_for_common+0xec/0x240
mcast_remove_one+0xd0/0x120 [ib_core]

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
