Re: [RESEND PATCH v7 17/21] IB/hns: Add QP operations support

[Wei Hu (Xavier)]

Hi, Doug Ledford
   In hns_roce_cmd_wait and hns_roce_cmd_poll, there are down&up 
seminal operations,
   So, there are not deadlock and conflict, right?

static int hns_roce_cmd_poll(struct hns_roce_dev *hr_dev, u64 in_param,
			     u64 *out_param, unsigned long in_modifier,
			     u8 op_modifier, u16 op, unsigned long timeout)
{
	struct device *dev = &hr_dev->pdev->dev;
	u8 __iomem *hcr = hr_dev->cmd.hcr;
	unsigned long end = 0;
	u32 status = 0;
	int ret;

	down(&hr_dev->cmd.poll_sem);

	..// <snip>

	up (&hr_dev->cmd.poll_sem);
	return ret;
}

static int hns_roce_cmd_wait(struct hns_roce_dev *hr_dev, u64 in_param,
			     u64 *out_param, unsigned long in_modifier,
			     u8 op_modifier, u16 op, unsigned long timeout)
{
	struct hns_roce_cmdq *cmd = &hr_dev->cmd;
	struct device *dev = &hr_dev->pdev->dev;
	struct hns_roce_cmd_context *context;
	int ret = 0;

	down(&cmd->event_sem);

	..// <snip>

	up (&cmd->event_sem);
	return ret;
}

int __hns_roce_cmd(struct hns_roce_dev *hr_dev, u64 in_param, u64 *out_param,
		   unsigned long in_modifier, u8 op_modifier, u16 op,
		   unsigned long timeout)
{
	if (hr_dev->cmd.use_events)
		return hns_roce_cmd_wait(hr_dev, in_param, out_param,
					 in_modifier, op_modifier, op, timeout);
	else
		return hns_roce_cmd_poll(hr_dev, in_param, out_param,
					 in_modifier, op_modifier, op, timeout);
}



    Thanks.

Regards
Wei Hu
