IB/ipath: Use counters in ipath_poll and cleanup interrupts in ipath_close
ipath_poll() suffered from a couple subtle bugs. Under the right
conditions we could leave recv interrupts enabled on an ipath user
context on close, thereby taking potentially unwanted interrupts on the
next open -- this is fixed by unconditionally turning off recv
interrupts on close. Also, we now use counters rather than set/clear
bits which allows us to make sure we catch all interrupts at the cost of
changing the semantics slightly (it's now give me all events since the
last time I called poll() rather than give me all events since I called
_this_ poll routine). We also added some memory barriers which may help
ensure we get all notifications in a timely manner.
