commit 65567e4121 upstream.
The rxe driver works as follows:
* The send queue, receive queue and completion queues are implemented as
circular buffers.
* ib_post_send() and ib_post_recv() calls are serialized through a spinlock.
* Removing elements from various queues happens from tasklet
context. Tasklets are guaranteed to run on at most one CPU. This serializes
access to these queues. See also rxe_completer(), rxe_requester() and
rxe_responder().
* rxe_completer() processes the skbs queued onto qp->resp_pkts.
* rxe_requester() handles the send queue (qp->sq.queue).
* rxe_responder() processes the skbs queued onto qp->req_pkts.
Since rxe_drain_req_pkts() processes qp->req_pkts, calling
rxe_drain_req_pkts() from rxe_requester() is racy. Hence this patch.

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.
