These are largely clean-ups, except for the last patch. Switching completion polling from soft IRQ to a worker thread has a few benefits: - svcrdma's completion handlers invoke svc_xprt_put(). We discovered recently svc_xprt_put() is supposed to be called only in a process context. This will become more important when NFS/RDMA supports multi-path. - eventually we'd like to allocate pages for RDMA Read in the completion handler, and not defer RDMA Read to svc_rdma_recvfrom. Using GFP_KERNEL can sleep, which is not allowed in soft IRQ context. - several places where BH's are disabled can be converted to simple spin_locks. Bruce, would you consider these for v4.11?
