[PATCH 4.9 077/125] nvme-rdma: remove race conditions from IB signalling

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 25 2017 - 16:29:06 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marta Rybczynska <mrybczyn@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5e599d73c1c1816af07f94ddba879499aa39b43c upstream.

This patch improves the way the RDMA IB signalling is done by using atomic
operations for the signalling variable. This avoids race conditions on
sig_count.

The signalling interval changes slightly and is now the largest power of
two not larger than queue depth / 2.

ilog() usage idea by Bart Van Assche.
