To avoid the following kernel panic when calling kmem_cache_create()
with a NULL pointer from pool_cache(),
What is the root cause of this kernel panic?
The kernel panic is triggered using the following command and it happen
because the cache is not getting initialized.
modprobe rdma_rxe add=eno1
Thanks,

move the rxe_cache_init() to the
context of device creation.

When modprobe rdma_rxe, rxe_module_init should be called. Then
rxe_cache_init should be also called.
Why does the above call trace occur?
