Mike Marciniszyn b6eac931b9 IB/hfi1: Prevent kernel QP post send hard lockups
The driver progress routines can call cond_resched() when
a timeslice is exhausted and irqs are enabled.

If the ULP had been holding a spin lock without disabling irqs and
the post send directly called the progress routine, the cond_resched()
could yield allowing another thread from the same ULP to deadlock
on that same lock.

Correct by replacing the current hfi1_do_send() calldown with a unique
one for post send and adding an argument to hfi1_do_send() to indicate
that the send engine is running in a thread.   If the routine is not
running in a thread, avoid calling cond_resched().

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.
