This is a dead lock problem.
The xa_lock first is acquired in this:

{SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at:

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

There is a separate xarray for each object pool. So this one is
rxe->pd_pool.xa.xa_lock from rxe_alloc_pd().


Then xa_lock is acquired in this:

{IN-SOFTIRQ-W}:

And this one is rxe->ah_pool.xa.xa_lock from rxe_requester
in the process of sending a UD packet from a work request
which contains the index of the ah.

For your story to work there needs to be an another ah_pool.xa.xa_lock somewhere.
Let's assume it is there somewhere and it's from (a different) add_to_pool call
then the add_to_pool_ routine should disable interrupts when it gets the lock
with spin_lock_xxx. But only for AH objects.


If I understand you correctly, you are suspecting the above call trace.
If yes, please check the bug reported in the maillist.

And please based on 5.18-rc2 to discuss this bug because this bug 
occurred in 5.18-rc2. And we are working on 5.18-rc2.

This may be old news.

  </TASK>

 From the above, in the function __rxe_add_to_pool,
xa_lock is acquired. Then the function __rxe_add_to_pool
is interrupted by softirq. The function
rxe_pool_get_index will also acquire xa_lock.

Finally, the dead lock appears.

V3->V4: xa_lock_irq locks are used.
V2->V3: __rxe_add_to_pool is between spin_lock and spin_unlock, so
         GFP_ATOMIC is used in __rxe_add_to_pool.
V1->V2: Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC
