    the is_close flag.
  * Leave key level 1 in the tree upon bad flow to prevent a race with IRQ flow.

  * Use rcu read lock also for the un-affiliated event flow.
  * Improve locking scheme as part of read events.
  * Return -EIO as soon as destroyed occurred.

From Yishai:

This series enables RDMA applications that use the DEVX interface to
subscribe and read device asynchronous events.

The solution is designed to allow extension of events in the future
without need to perform any changes in the driver code.

To enable that few changes had been done in mlx5_core, it includes:
 * Reading device event capabilities that are user related
   (affiliated and un-affiliated) and set the matching mask upon
   creating the matching EQ.
 * Enable DEVX/mlx5_ib to register for ANY event instead of the option to
   get some hard-coded ones.
 * Enable DEVX/mlx5_ib to get the device raw data for CQ completion events.
 * Enhance mlx5_core_create/destroy CQ to enable DEVX using them so that CQ
   events will be reported as well.

In mlx5_ib layer the below changes were done:
 * A new DEVX API was introduced to allocate an event channel by using
   the uverbs FD object type.
 * Implement the FD channel operations to enable read/poo/close over it.
 * A new DEVX API was introduced to subscribe for specific events over an
   event channel.
 * Manage an internal data structure  over XA(s) to subscribe/dispatch events
   over the different event channels.
 * Use from DEVX the mlx5_core APIs to create/destroy a CQ to be able to
   get its relevant events.

Applied to for-next, thanks
