Mark Bloch 617f5db1a6 RDMA/mlx5: Fix affinity assignment
The cited commit aimed to ensure that Virtual Functions (VFs) assign a
queue affinity to a Queue Pair (QP) to distribute traffic when
the LAG master creates a hardware LAG. If the affinity was set while
the hardware was not in LAG, the firmware would ignore the affinity value.

However, this commit unintentionally assigned an affinity to QPs on the LAG
master's VPORT even if the RDMA device was not marked as LAG-enabled.
In most cases, this was not an issue because when the hardware entered
hardware LAG configuration, the RDMA device of the LAG master would be
destroyed and a new one would be created, marked as LAG-enabled.

The problem arises when a user configures Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP).
In ECMP mode, traffic can be directed to different physical ports based on
the queue affinity, which is intended for use by VPORTS other than the
E-Switch manager. ECMP mode is supported only if both E-Switch managers are
in switchdev mode and the appropriate route is configured via IP. In this
configuration, the RDMA device is not destroyed, and we retain the RDMA
device that is not marked as LAG-enabled.

To ensure correct behavior, Send Queues (SQs) opened by the E-Switch
manager through verbs should be assigned strict affinity. This means they
will only be able to communicate through the native physical port
associated with the E-Switch manager. This will prevent the firmware from
assigning affinity and will not allow the SQs to be remapped in case of
failover.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
