    RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix broken RoCE driver due to recent L2 driver changes · 6e04b103

    The recent changes in Broadcom's ethernet driver(L2 driver) broke
    RoCE functionality in terms of MSIx vector allocation and
    de-allocation.
    
    There is a possibility that L2 driver would initiate MSIx vector
    reallocation depending upon the requests coming from administrator.
    In such cases L2 driver needs to free up all the MSIx vectors
    allocated previously and reallocate/initialize those.
    
    If RoCE driver is loaded and reshuffling is attempted, there will be
    kernel crashes because RoCE driver would still be holding the MSIx
    vectors but L2 driver would attempt to free in-use vectors. Thus
    leading to a kernel crash.
    
    Making changes in roce driver to fix crashes described above.
    As part of solution L2 driver tells RoCE driver to release
    the MSIx vector whenever there is a need. When RoCE driver
    get message it sync up with all the running tasklets and IRQ
    handlers and releases the vectors. L2 driver send one more
    message to RoCE driver to resume the MSIx vectors. L2 driver
    guarantees that RoCE vector do not change during reshuffling.
    
    Fixes: ec86f14e ("bnxt_en: Add ULP calls to stop and restart IRQs.")
    Fixes: 08654eb2 ("bnxt_en: Change IRQ assignment for RDMA driver.")
