Running devlink reload command for port in switchdev mode cause
resources to corrupt: driver can't release allocated EQ and reclaim
memory pages, because "rdma" auxiliary device had add CQs which blocks
EQ from deletion.
Erroneous sequence happens during reload-down phase, and is following:
1. detach device - suspends auxiliary devices which support it, destroys
others. During this step "eth-rep" and "rdma-rep" are destroyed,
"eth" - suspended.
2. disable SRIOV - moves device to legacy mode; as part of disablement -
rescans drivers. This step adds "rdma" auxiliary device.
3. destroy EQ table - <failure>.
Driver shouldn't create any device during unload flows. To handle that
implement MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_DETACH flag, set it on device detach and unset
on device attach. If flag is set do no-op on drivers rescan.

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.
