From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 410bd754cd73c4a2ac3856d9a03d7b08f9c906bf upstream.
It is possible that new command entry index allocation will temporarily
fail. The new command holds the semaphore, so it means that a free entry
should be ready soon. Add one second retry mechanism before returning an
error.
Patch "net/mlx5: Avoid possible free of command entry while timeout comp
handler" increase the possibility to bump into this temporarily failure
as it delays the entry index release for non-callback commands.
Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
