rxe_pool.c takes references to the pool and ib_device structs for each object allocated and also keeps an atomic num_elem count in each pool. This is more work than is needed. Pool allocation is only called from verbs APIs which already have references to ib_device and pools are only diasbled when the driver is removed so no protection of the pool addresses are needed. The elem count is used to warn if elements are still present in a pool when it is cleaned up which is useful. This patch eliminates the references to the ib_device and pool structs.

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.
