    IB/mthca: Fix potential AB-BA deadlock with CQ locks · a19aa5c5
    Roland Dreier 提交于
    When destroying a QP, mthca locks both the QP's send CQ and receive
    CQ.  However, the following scenario is perfectly valid:
    
        QP_a: send_cq == CQ_x, recv_cq == CQ_y
        QP_b: send_cq == CQ_y, recv_cq == CQ_x
    
    The old mthca code simply locked send_cq and then recv_cq, which in
    this case could lead to an AB-BA deadlock if QP_a and QP_b were
    destroyed simultaneously.
    
    We can fix this by changing the locking code to lock the CQ with the
    lower CQ number first, which will create a consistent lock ordering.
    Also, the second CQ is locked with spin_lock_nested() to tell lockdep
    that we know what we're doing with the lock nesting.
    
    This bug was found by lockdep.
