This fixes a race of the form:
CPU0 CPU1
mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() mlx5_ib_invalidate_range()
// This one actually makes npages == 0
ib_umem_odp_unmap_dma_pages()
if (npages == 0 && !dying)
// This one does nothing
ib_umem_odp_unmap_dma_pages()
if (npages == 0 && !dying)
dying = 1;
dying = 1;
schedule_work(&umem_odp->work);
// Double schedule of the same work
schedule_work(&umem_odp->work); // BOOM
npages and dying must be read and written under the umem_mutex lock.
Since whenever ib_umem_odp_unmap_dma_pages() is called mlx5 must also call
mlx5_ib_update_xlt, and both need to be done in the same locking region,
hoist the lock out of unmap.
This avoids an expensive double critical section in
mlx5_ib_invalidate_range().

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.
