[PATCH] IB/mthca: QP locking optimization
1. Split the QP spinlock into separate send and receive locks. The only place where we have to lock both is upon modify_qp, and that is not on data path. 2. Avoid taking any QP locks when polling CQ. This last part is achieved by getting rid of the cur field in mthca_wq, and calculating the number of outstanding WQEs by comparing the head and tail fields. head is only updated by post, tail is only updated by poll. In a rare case where an overrun is detected, a CQ is locked and the overrun condition is re-tested, to avoid any potential for stale tail values. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
