Description: Redesigned the locks around peer MR invalidation flow to avoid a potential deadlock as Peer-direct patch may cause deadlock due to lock inversion.

Notes:

  • For GPU drivers prior to r470, the user should update nv_peer_mem to the next version, probably 1.2.

  • For GPU drivers from r470 or later branches shipped with nvidia-peermem, the driver will have an option to update to newer releases which take advantage of the redesigned MLNX_OFED support.
