> deadlock
> 
> The mpx5 PMD maintains the list of devices for those the memory
> operation callback routines must be invoked to keep the device MRs (MR
> is the entity backing the hardware DMA transactions) consistent with the
> mapped memory.
> Each device context in the list is protected with dedicated lock on per
> device basis, which might be taken inside the callback routine.
> 
> When device is closing the PMD frees all MRs by calling
> mlx5_mr_release(), that might call rte_free() under the taken device
> lock.  If this rte_free call triggers the entire memory segment freeing
> it, in its turn, invokes the callback routine and attempt to take the
> lock inside this one causes the deadlock.
> 
> The patch proposes the remove the device from the callback list first
> and then call mlx5_mr_release() and free the remaining device MRs
> explicitely.
