Hi,

I'm not sure if that will work, because there is a write_lock() inside mlx5_enable_roce_if_cb(), and that cannot be used inside an EPOCH section!

#define write_lock(_l)          rw_wlock(&(_l)->rw)

Or am I wrong.

It's OK to use rwlocks/mutexes (and basically anything that don't sleep) in the (network) epoch.
