When a mlx5 core devlink instance is reloaded in different net
namespace, its associated IB device is deleted and recreated.

Example sequence is:
$ ip netns add foo
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:08.0 netns foo
$ ip netns del foo

mlx5 IB device needs to attach and detach the netdevice to it
through the netdev notifier chain during load and unload sequence.
A below call graph of the unload flow.

cleanup_net()
   down_read(&pernet_ops_rwsem); <- first sem acquired
     ops_pre_exit_list()
       pre_exit()
         devlink_pernet_pre_exit()
           devlink_reload()
             mlx5_devlink_reload_down()
               mlx5_unload_one()
               [...]
                 mlx5_ib_remove()
                   mlx5_ib_unbind_slave_port()
                     mlx5_remove_netdev_notifier()
                       unregister_netdevice_notifier()
                         down_write(&pernet_ops_rwsem);<- recurrsive lock

Hence, when net namespace is deleted, mlx5 reload results in deadlock.

When deadlock occurs, devlink mutex is also held. This not only deadlocks
the mlx5 device under reload, but all the processes which attempt to access
unrelated devlink devices are deadlocked.

Hence, fix this by mlx5 ib driver to register for per net netdev
notifier instead of global one, which operats on the net namespace
without holding the pernet_ops_rwsem.

This looks racy, what lock needs to be held to keep *mlx5_core_net()
stable?

This seems dangerous too, what if the mlx5_core_net changed before we
get here?

What are the rules for when devlink_net() changes?

mlx5_core_net() cannot be accessed outside of mlx5 driver's load, unload, reload path.

When this is getting executed, devlink cannot be executing reload.
This is guarded by devlink_reload_enable/disable calls done by mlx5 core.

When I inspected driver, code, I am not aware of any code flow where this can
change before reaching here, because registration and unregistratio is done only in driver load, unload and reload path.
Reload can happen only after devlink_reload_enable() is done.

devlink_net() changes only after unload() callback is completed in driver.

A comment that devlink_reload_enable/disable() must be held would be
helpful

But we enable reload right after init_one

You mean mlx5_devlink_reload_down ?

That seems OK then
