The commit noted below fixed a case where a pq is left on the sdma wait
list.
It however missed another case.
user_sdma_send_pkts() has two calls from hfi1_user_sdma_process_request().
If the first one fails as indicated by -EBUSY, the pq will be placed on
the waitlist as by design.
If the second call then succeeds, the pq is still on the waitlist setting
up a race with the interrupt handler if a subsequent request uses a
different SDMA engine
Fix by deleting the first call.
The use of pcount and the intent to send a short burst of packets followed
by the larger balance of packets was never correctly implemented, because
the two calls always send pcount packets no matter what. A subsequent
patch will correct that issue.

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.
