Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 00/14] Cleanup locking and events in ucma

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...dia.com>

>From Jason:

Rework how the uevents for new connections are handled so all the locking
ends up simpler and a work queue can be removed. This should also speed up
destruction of ucma_context's as a flush_workqueue() was replaced with
cancel_work_sync().

The simpler locking comes from narrowing what file->mut covers and moving
other data to other locks, particularly by injecting the handler_mutex
from the RDMA CM core as a construct available to ULPs. The handler_mutex
directly prevents handlers from running without creating any ABBA locking
problems.

Fix various error cases and data races caused by missing locking.

Thanks
