rpcrdma_rep objects are removed from their free list by only a single thread: the Receive completion handler. Thus that free list can be converted to an llist, where a single-threaded consumer and a multi-threaded producer (rpcrdma_buffer_put) can both access the llist without the need for any serialization. This eliminates spin lock contention between the Receive completion handler and rpcrdma_buffer_get, and makes the rep consumer wait- free.

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.
