Parav Pandit 747c5a43ee IB/core: Let IB core distribute cache update events 
[ Upstream commit 6b57cea922 ]

Currently when the low level driver notifies Pkey, GID, and port change
events they are notified to the registered handlers in the order they are
registered.

IB core and other ULPs such as IPoIB are interested in GID, LID, Pkey
change events.

Since all GID queries done by ULPs are serviced by IB core, and the IB
core deferes cache updates to a work queue, it is possible for other
clients to see stale cache data when they handle their own events.

For example, the below call tree shows how ipoib will call
rdma_query_gid() concurrently with the update to the cache sitting in the
WQ.

mlx5_ib_handle_event()
  ib_dispatch_event()
    ib_cache_event()
       queue_work() -> slow cache update

    [..]
    ipoib_event()
     queue_work()
       [..]
       work handler
         ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light()
           __ipoib_ib_dev_flush()
              ipoib_dev_addr_changed_valid()
                rdma_query_gid() <- Returns old GID, cache not updated.

Move all the event dispatch to a work queue so that the cache update is
always done before any clients are notified.

Fixes: f35faa4ba9 ("IB/core: Simplify ib_query_gid to always refer to cache")

README 

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.
