Michael J. Ruhl f683c80ca6 IB/hfi1: Resolve kernel panics by reference counting receive contexts
Base receive contexts can be used by sub contexts.  Because of this,
resources for the context cannot be completely freed until all sub
contexts are done using the base context.

Introduce a reference count so that the base receive context can be
freed only when all sub contexts are done with it.

Use the provided function call for setting default send context
integrity rather than the manual method.

The cleanup path does not set all variables back to NULL after freeing
resources.  Since the clean up code can get called more than once,
(e.g. during context close and on the error path), it is necessary to
make sure that all the variables are NULLed.

Possible crash are:

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.
