This patch improves the way the RDMA IB signalling is done
by using atomic operations for the signalling variable. This
avoids race conditions on sig_count.
The signalling interval changes slightly and is now the
largest power of two not larger than queue depth / 2.
ilog() usage idea by Bart Van Assche.

Christoph,
Can you place a stable tag on this (4.11+)?

I do not see this one in nvme-4.13. Can we get it in, please?
We're seeing the races in our setup and this patch fixes it.
Thanks,
Marta

I've added it. Note that your mail was whitespace damaged, so I had
to apply it manually. I used that opportunity to also move the comments
around a bit.

Thank you! And sorry for the issue.
Best regards,
