[PATCH 1 of 53] ipath - fix spinlock recursion bug

From: Bryan O'Sullivan
Date: Fri May 12 2006 - 20:02:02 EST


The local loopback path for RC can lock the rkey table lock without
blocking interrupts. The receive interrupt path can then call
ipath_rkey_ok() and deadlock. Since the lock only protects a 64 bit read,
the lock isn't needed.
