r_xprt->rx_ep is known to be good while the transport's send lock is held. Otherwise additional references on rx_ep must be held when it is used outside of that lock's critical sections. For now, bump the rx_ep reference count once whenever there is at least one outstanding Receive WR. This avoids the memory bandwidth overhead of taking and releasing the reference count for every ib_post_recv() and Receive completion.

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.
