In rxe_pool.c, pool state is protected by some read/write locks.
Now these read/write locks are replaced with atomic bitops. This can
make source code compact.

I doubt this locking can be removed without creating races between
pool_state and the kref_get.

I suspect the locking, refcounting, and lifetime in this pool code is
just all wrong. If you fix that then the pool->state probably just
goes away completely.

Thanks. Jason. Now V2 patch is sent. Please check it. I made simple tests with Patch v2. And I can not find any bug.

If there is something wrong this Patch v2, please let me know.

Thanks. The pool->state is the duplicate of ref_cnt.

ref_cnt = 0 is the same with pool->state = RXE_POOL_STATE_INVALID

ref_cnt > 0 is the same with pool->state = RXE_POOL_STATE_VALID.

So we can use ref_cn to replace pool->state.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I will send V2 soon.

Good code usually does't have racy coding patterns like the above at
least..
