Fair enough... according to Documentation/infiniband/core_locking.txt,
the only driver methods that cannot sleep are:
create_ah
modify_ah
query_ah
destroy_ah
bind_mw
post_send
post_recv
poll_cq
req_notify_cq
map_phys_fmr
and I don't think ehca does an hcall from any of those. Of course
there might be other driver-internal code paths that I don't know
about. Maybe do a quick audit and then stick might_sleep() in the
hcall functions to catch any mistakes?
