From: farah kassabri <fkassabri@xxxxxxxxx> There is a potential race between user thread seeking to re-use a timestamp record with new interrupt id, while this record is still in the middle of interrupt handling and it is about to be freed. Imagine the driver set the record in_use to 0 and only then fill the free_node information. This might lead to unpleasant scenario where the new registration thread detects the record as free to use, and change the cq buff address. That will cause the free_node to get the wrong buffer address to put refcount to.
