From afd02cd3a9b6c04b41d946b5d7f6e17b3fc30c6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Cohen Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:18:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] IB/mlx5: Avoid system crash when enabling many VFs When enabling many VFs, the total amount of DMA mappings increase significantly. This causes DMA allocations to take a lot of time since they are serialized in the kernel. As a result the driver enters into fatal condition due to timeout and the system hangs. To recover from this we disable MR cache for VFs. PFs will still have a full cache and VFs cache can be manipulated as usual after driver load.
