/proc/lock_stat indicates the the sc_send_lock is heavily contended when the server is under load from a single client. To address this, convert the send_ctxt free list to an llist. Returning an item to the send_ctxt cache is now waitless, which reduces the instruction path length in the single-threaded Send handler (svc_rdma_wc_send). The goal is to enable the ib_comp_wq worker to handle a higher RPC/RDMA Send completion rate given the same CPU resources. This change reduces CPU utilization of Send completion by 2-3% on my server.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
