[PATCH 4.9 004/130] IB/mlx5: Avoid system crash when enabling many VFs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eli Cohen <eli@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit afd02cd3a9b6c04b41d946b5d7f6e17b3fc30c6b upstream.

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.
