+Subject: IB/hfi1: Avoid hardlockup with flushlist_lock
+
+commit cf131a81967583ae737df6383a0893b9fee75b4e upstream.
+
+Heavy contention of the sde flushlist_lock can cause hard lockups at
+extreme scale when the flushing logic is under stress.
+
+Mitigate by replacing the item at a time copy to the local list with
+an O(1) list_splice_init() and using the high priority work queue to
+do the flushes.
+
+Ported to linux-4.9.y.
+
+Fixes: 7724105686e7 ("IB/hfi1: add driver files")
