Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/11/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=22.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=22.11-staging&id=79310b1b61afd7556000b23303a28a4c49ed8fa2

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix device removal event handling
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 22dc56cfbd39692eb74fad93ff5ecc3df5fd0633 ]

On the device removal kernel notifies user space application
with queueing the IBV_DEVICE_FATAL_EVENT and triggering appropriate
file descriptor. Mellanox kernel driver stack emits this event
twice from different layers (mlx5 and uverbs). The IB port index
is not applicable in the event structure and should be ignored
for IBV_DEVICE_FATAL_EVENT events.

Also, on the older kernels (at least from OFED 4.9) there might be
race conditions causing the event queue close before application
fetches the IBV_DEVICE_FATAL_EVENT message with ibv_get_async_event()
API.

To provide the reliable device removal event detection the patch:

  - ignores the IB port index for the IBV_DEVICE_FATAL_EVENT
  - introduces the flag to notify PMD about removal only once
  - acks event with ibv_ack_async_event after actual handling
  - checks for EIO error, making sure queue is not closed yet

Fixes: 40d9f906f4e2 ("net/mlx5: fix device removal handler for multiport")
