[ofa-general] Possible process deadlock in RMPP flow

[Eli Cohen]

Hi Sean,
one of our customers experiences problems when running ibnetdiscover.
The problem happens from time to time.
Here is the call stack the he gets:

ibnetdiscover D ffffffff80149b8d     0 26968  26544
(L-TLB)
 ffff8102c900bd88 0000000000000046 ffff81037e8e0000 ffff81037e8e02e8
 ffff8102c900bd78 000000000000000a ffff8102c5b50820 ffff81038a929820
 0000011837bf6105 0000000000000ede ffff8102c5b50a08 0000000100000000

>From the dump it seems that the process is waits on the call to
flush_workqueue() in ib_cancel_rmpp_recvs(). The package they use is
OFED 1.4.2.

Do you have any idea or suggestions how to sort this out?

Thanks.
