The hns3 driver sets "hclge_service_task" workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag in order to guarantee forward progress under memory pressure. When hns3 ethernet driver perfrom a reset bacause of tx timeout or ras error, hclge_service_task will unregister ib_device before telling the fw to perfrom the hardware reset in oder to disable accessing to the ib_device. And ib_unregister_device() will call ib_cache_cleanup_one() to flush workqueue "infiniband", which is without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set, then a WARNNING is triggered as below: [11246.200168] hns3 0000:bd:00.1: Reset done, hclge driver initialization finished.

Allocate the "hclge_service_task" workqueue without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, which may cause deadlock problem when hns3 driver is used as the low level transport of a network file system 2. Do not unregister ib_device during reset process, maybe only disable accessing to the ib_device using disable_device() as rdma_dev_change_netns() does. 3. Allocate the "infiniband" workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag. This patch allocates the "infiniband" workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag to avoid the warnning.
