You are right, cq_lock will result into dead lock.
Should there be a additional compl_handler spin_lock?
I was measuring performance impact for adding it, and, irq_save() and 
irq_restore() variant showed additional 200 cycles, which I believe should be

Yea, I think adding a comp_handler spin lock would do the trick.  I'll let

Line no 66 to 97 states that - at a given point of time, there should be only 
one callback per CQ should be active.
Is this ensured?

compl_handler() is invoked from multiple places flush_qp() and post_qp_event() 
to my mind.
Yes, does look like an issue with this patch :(

And I think this bug exists in the T3 driver too.
