This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/cma: Remove unneeded locking for req paths to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rdma-cma-remove-unneeded-locking-for-req-paths.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 531152780e4b0d2f59f7ccd09b05e51c59fe05c1 Author: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 23 10:07:06 2020 +0300 RDMA/cma: Remove unneeded locking for req paths [ Upstream commit cc9c037343898eb7a775e6b81d092ee21eeff218 ] The REQ flows are concerned that once the handler is called on the new cm_id the ULP can choose to trigger a rdma_destroy_id() concurrently at any time. However, this is not true, while the ULP can call rdma_destroy_id(), it immediately blocks on the handler_mutex which prevents anything harmful from running concurrently. Remove the confusing extra locking and refcounts and make the handler_mutex protecting state during destroy more clear.
