net/mlx5_core: Use tasklet for user-space CQ completion events
Previously, we've fired all our completion callbacks straight from our ISR. Some of those callbacks were lightweight (for example, mlx5 Ethernet napi callbacks), but some of them did more work (for example, the user-space RDMA stack uverbs' completion handler). Besides that, doing more than the minimal work in ISR is generally considered wrong, it could even lead to a hard lockup of the system. Since when a lot of completion events are generated by the hardware, the loop over those events could be so long, that we'll get into a hard lockup by the system watchdog. In order to avoid that, add a new way of invoking completion events callbacks. In the interrupt itself, we add the CQs which receive completion event to a per-EQ list and schedule a tasklet. In the tasklet context we loop over all the CQs in the list and invoke the user callback. Signed-off-by: Matan Barak <matanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
