To identify timestamps for matching with their packets, Spectrum-1 uses a five-tuple of (port, direction, domain number, message type, sequence ID). If there are several clients from the same domain behind a single port sending Delay_Req's, the only thing differentiating these packets, as far as Spectrum-1 is concerned, is the sequence ID. Should sequence IDs between individual clients be similar, conflicts may arise. That is not a problem to hardware, which will simply deliver timestamps on a first comes, first served basis. However the driver uses a simple hash table to store the unmatched pieces. When a new conflicting piece arrives, it pushes out the previously stored one, which if it is a packet, is delivered without timestamp. Later on as the corresponding timestamps arrive, the first one is mismatched to the second packet, and the second one is never matched and eventually is GCd. To correct this issue, instead of using a simple rhashtable, use rhltable to keep the unmatched entries. Previously, a found unmatched entry would always be removed from the hash table. That is not the case anymore--an incompatible entry is left in the hash table. Therefore removal from the hash table cannot be used to confirm the validity of the looked-up pointer, instead the lookup would simply need to be redone. Therefore move it inside the critical section. This simplifies a lot of the code.
