Allow the comp_handler callback implementation to call ib_poll_cq().
A call to ib_poll_cq() calls rxe_poll_cq() with the rdma_rxe driver.
And rxe_poll_cq() locks cq->cq_lock. That leads to a spinlock deadlock.

The Mellanox and Intel drivers allow a comp_handler callback
implementation to call ib_poll_cq().

Avoid the deadlock by calling the comp_handler callback without
holding cq->cw_lock.

After I applied your patch in kervel v6.16, I got the above errors.

Hello Zhu,

When I run the test_resize_cq test in a loop (100 runs each) on the
original code and with my patch, I get about the same failure rate.

Add Daisuke Matsuda

If I remember it correctly, when Daisuke and I discussed ODP patches, we both made tests with rxe, from our tests results, it seems that this test_resize_cq error does not occur.

without my patch success=87 failure=13
without my patch success=82 failure=18
without my patch success=81 failure=19
with my patch success=89 failure=11
with my patch success=90 failure=10
with my patch success=82 failure=18

The patch I am proposing does not change the failure rate of this test.

Best regards,
Philipp
