After the change to use dynamic cache structure, new cache entries
can be added and the mkey allocation can no longer assume that all
mkeys created for the cache have access_flags equal to zero.
Example of a flow that exposes the issue:
A user registers MR with RO on a HCA that cannot UMR RO and the mkey is
created outside of the cache. When the user deregisters the MR, a new
cache entry is created to store mkeys with RO.
Later, the user registers 2 MRs with RO. The first MR is reused from the
new cache entry. When we try to get the second mkey from the cache we see
the entry is empty so we go to the MR cache mkey allocation flow which
would have allocated a mkey with no access flags, resulting the user getting
a MR without RO.
Fixes: dd1b913fb0 ("RDMA/mlx5: Cache all user cacheable mkeys on dereg MR flow")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
