There are two flows for handling RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_RESOLVED, either the
handler triggers a completion and another thread does rdma_connect() or
the handler directly calls rdma_connect().
In all cases rdma_connect() needs to hold the handler_mutex, but when
handler's are invoked this is already held by the core code. This causes
ULPs using the 2nd method to deadlock.
Provide a rdma_connect_locked() and have all ULPs call it from their
handlers.

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.
