We share CQ (completion queue) notification flags between application
(which may be user land) and producer (kernel QP's (queue pairs)).
Those flags can be written by both application and QP's. The application
writes those flags to let the driver know if it shall inform about new
work completions. It can write those flags at any time.
Only a kernel producer reads those flags to decide if
the CQ notification handler shall be kicked, if a new CQ element gets
added to the CQ. When kicking the completion handler, the driver resets the
notification flag, which must get re-armed by the application.
We use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), since the flags are potentially
shared (mmap'd) between user and kernel land.
siw_req_notify_cq() is being called only by kernel consumers to change
(write) the CQ notification state. We use smp_store_mb() to make sure
the new value becomes visible to all kernel producers (QP's) asap.
