In function mlx4_cq_completion() and mlx4_cq_event(), the radix_tree_lookup requires a rcu_read_lock. This is mandatory: if another core frees the CQ, it could run the radix_tree_node_rcu_free() call_rcu() callback while its being used by the radix tree lookup function. Additionally, in function mlx4_cq_event(), since we are adding the rcu lock around the radix-tree lookup, we no longer need to take the spinlock. Also, the synchronize_irq() call for the async event eliminates the need for incrementing the cq reference count in mlx4_cq_event(). Other changes: 1. In function mlx4_cq_free(), replace spin_lock_irq with spin_lock: we no longer take this spinlock in the interrupt context. The spinlock here, therefore, simply protects against different threads simultaneously invoking mlx4_cq_free() for different cq's. 2. In function mlx4_cq_free(), we move the radix tree delete to before the synchronize_irq() calls. This guarantees that we will not access this cq during any subsequent interrupts, and therefore can safely free the CQ after the synchronize_irq calls. The rcu_read_lock in the interrupt handlers only needs to protect against corrupting the radix tree; the interrupt handlers may access the cq outside the rcu_read_lock due to the synchronize_irq calls which protect against premature freeing of the cq. 3. In function mlx4_cq_event(), we change the mlx_warn message to mlx4_dbg. 4. We leave the cq reference count mechanism in place, because it is still needed for the cq completion tasklet mechanism.

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.
