Sebastian Sanchez 964705c4a6 IB/hfi1: Optimize kthread pointer locking when queuing CQ entries
commit af8aab71370a692eaf7e7969ba5b1a455ac20113 upstream.

All threads queuing CQ entries on different CQs are unnecessarily
synchronized by a spin lock to check if the CQ kthread worker hasn't
been destroyed before queuing an CQ entry.

The lock used in 6efaf10f163d ("IB/rdmavt: Avoid queuing work into a
destroyed cq kthread worker") is a device global lock and will have
poor performance at scale as completions are entered from a large
number of CPUs.

Convert to use RCU where the read side of RCU is rvt_cq_enter() to
determine that the worker is alive prior to triggering the
completion event.
Apply write side RCU semantics in rvt_driver_cq_init() and
rvt_cq_exit().

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
