When mlx5_ib registers itself to mlx5_core as an interface, it will call mlx5_add_device which will call mlx5_ib interface add callback, in case the latter successfully returns, only then mlx5_core will add it to the interface list and async events will be forwarded to mlx5_ib. Between mlx5_ib interface add callback and mlx5_core adding the mlx5_ib interface to its devices list, arriving mlx5_core events can be missed by the new mlx5_ib registering interface. In other words: thread 1: mlx5_ib: mlx5_register_interface(dev) thread 1: mlx5_core: mlx5_add_device(dev) thread 1: mlx5_core: ctx = dev->add => (mlx5_ib)->mlx5_ib_add thread 2: mlx5_core_event: **new event arrives, forward to dev_list thread 1: mlx5_core: add_ctx_to_dev_list(ctx) /* previous event was missed by the new interface.*/ It is ok to miss events before dev->add (mlx5_ib)->mlx5_ib_add_device but not after. We fix this race by accumulating the events that come between the ib_register_device (inside mlx5_add_device->(dev->add)) till the adding to the list completes and fire them to the new registering interface after that.
