It seems that ce6e74f2 ("RDMA/nes: Make nesadapter->phy_lock usage
consistent") maybe introduced a locking bug.  sparse warns:

drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes_hw.c:2642:9: warning: context imbalance in 
'nes_process_mac_intr' - different lock contexts for basic block

And indeed in nes_process_mac_intr(), you do

        spin_lock_irqsave(&nesadapter->phy_lock, flags);

at the very beginning, but then the unlock only happens inside

        if (nesadapter->mac_sw_state[mac_number] != NES_MAC_SW_IDLE) {

or inside

        if (mac_status & (NES_MAC_INT_LINK_STAT_CHG | NES_MAC_INT_XGMII_EXT)) {

so it seems it is possible to return from this function with the lock
held.
