Mellanox took it offlist, and Sep 6th found that this is a regression introduced by commit 269d26f47f6f ("net/mlx5: Reduce command polling interval"), but only if CONFIG_PREEMPT is on. I can confirm that reverting this commit fixed the issue (and not the firmware upgrade I also did). I think Moshe (Cc) is responsible for this case, and I expect to soon see a revert or alternative solution to this!? Thanks for the kick Alexei :-) -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
