Right now there's nothing to stop the various paths that use
rs->rs_transport from racing with rmmod and executing freed transport
code. The simple fix is to have binding to a transport also hold a
reference to the transport's module, removing this class of races.
We already had an unused t_owner field which was set for the modular
transports and which wasn't set for the built-in loop transport.

The RDS IB device list wasn't protected by any locking. Traversal in
both the get_mr and FMR flushing paths could race with additon and
removal.
List manipulation is done with RCU primatives and is protected by the
write side of a rwsem. The list traversal in the get_mr fast path is
protected by a rcu read critical section. The FMR list traversal is
more problematic because it can block while traversing the list. We
protect this with the read side of the rwsem.

It's nice to not have to go digging in the code to see which event
occurred. It's easy to throw together a quick array that maps the ib
event enums to their strings. I didn't see anything in the stack that
does this translation for us, but I also didn't look very hard.

Flushing FMRs is somewhat expensive, and is currently kicked off when
the interrupt handler notices that we are getting low. The result of
this is that FMR flushing only happens from the interrupt cpus.
This spreads the load more effectively by triggering flushes just before
we allocate a new FMR.

We're seeing bugs today where IB connection shutdown clears the send
ring while the tasklet is processing completed sends. Implementation
details cause this to dereference a null pointer. Shutdown needs to
wait for send completion to stop before tearing down the connection. We
can't simply wait for the ring to empty because it may contain
unsignaled sends that will never be processed.
This patch tracks the number of signaled sends that we've posted and
waits for them to complete. It also makes sure that the tasklet has
finished executing.

The recv refill path was leaking fragments because the recv event handler had
marked a ring element as free without freeing its frag. This was happening
because it wasn't processing receives when the conn wasn't marked up or
connecting, as can be the case if it races with rmmod.
Two observations support always processing receives in the callback.
First, buildup should only post receives, thus triggering recv event handler
calls, once it has built up all the state to handle them. Teardown should
destroy the CQ and drain the ring before tearing down the state needed to
process recvs. Both appear to be true today.
Second, this test was fundamentally racy. There is nothing to stop rmmod and
connection destruction from swooping in the moment after the conn state was
sampled but before real receive procesing starts.

We were seeing very nasty bugs due to fundamental assumption the current code
makes about concurrent work struct processing. The code simpy isn't able to
handle concurrent connection shutdown work function execution today, for
example, which is very much possible once a multi-threaded krdsd was
introduced. The problem compounds as additional work structs are added to the
mix.
krdsd is no longer perforance critical now that send and receive posting and
FMR flushing are done elsewhere, so the safest fix is to move back to the
single threaded krdsd that the current code was built around.

This patch moves the FMR flushing work in to its own mult-threaded work queue.
This is to maintain performance in preparation for returning the main krdsd
work queue back to a single threaded work queue to avoid deep-rooted
concurrency bugs.
This is also good because it further separates FMRs, which might be removed
some day, from the rest of the code base.

IB connections were not being destroyed during rmmod.
First, recently IB device removal callback was changed to disconnect
connections that used the removing device rather than destroying them. So
connections with devices during rmmod were not being destroyed.
Second, rds_ib_destroy_nodev_conns() was being called before connections are
disassociated with devices. It would almost never find connections in the
nodev list.
We first get rid of rds_ib_destroy_conns(), which is no longer called, and
refactor the existing caller into the main body of the function and get rid of
the list and lock wrappers.
Then we call rds_ib_destroy_nodev_conns() *after* ib_unregister_client() has
removed the IB device from all the conns and put the conns on the nodev list.
The result is that IB connections are destroyed by rmmod.

FRM allocation and recycling is performance critical and fairly lock
intensive. The current code has a per connection lock that all
processes bang on and it becomes a major bottleneck on large systems.
This changes things to use a number of cmpxchg based lists instead,
allowing us to go through the whole FMR lifecycle without locking inside
RDS.
Zach Brown pointed out that our usage of cmpxchg for xlist removal is
racey if someone manages to remove and add back an FMR struct into the list
while another CPU can see the FMR's address at the head of the list.
The second CPU might assume the list hasn't changed when in fact any
number of operations might have happened in between the deletion and
reinsertion.
This commit maintains a per cpu count of CPUs that are currently
in xlist removal, and establishes a grace period to make sure that
nobody can see an entry we have just removed from the list.

rds_send_xmit() was changed to hold an interrupt masking spinlock instead of a
mutex so that it could be called from the IB receive tasklet path. This broke
the TCP transport because its xmit method can block and masks and unmasks
interrupts.
This patch serializes callers to rds_send_xmit() with a simple bit instead of
the current spinlock or previous mutex. This enables rds_send_xmit() to be
called from any context and to call functions which block. Getting rid of the
c_send_lock exposes the bare c_lock acquisitions which are changed to block
interrupts.
A waitqueue is added so that rds_conn_shutdown() can wait for callers to leave
rds_send_xmit() before tearing down partial send state. This lets us get rid
of c_senders.
rds_send_xmit() is changed to check the conn state after acquiring the
RDS_IN_XMIT bit to resolve races with the shutdown path. Previously both
worked with the conn state and then the lock in the same order, allowing them
to race and execute the paths concurrently.
rds_send_reset() isn't racing with rds_send_xmit() now that rds_conn_shutdown()
properly ensures that rds_send_xmit() can't start once the conn state has been
changed. We can remove its previous use of the spinlock.
Finally, c_send_generation is redundant. Callers can race to test the c_flags
bit by simply retrying instead of racing to test the c_send_generation atomic.

This patch is based heavily on an initial patch by Chris Mason.
Instead of freeing slab memory and pages, it keeps them, and
funnels them back to be reused.
The lock minimization strategy uses xchg and cmpxchg atomic ops
for manipulation of pointers to list heads. We anchor the lists with a
pointer to a list_head struct instead of a static list_head struct.
We just have to carefully use the existing primitives with
the difference between a pointer and a static head struct.
For example, 'list_empty()' means that our anchor pointer points to a list with
a single item instead of meaning that our static head element doesn't point to
any list items.

Instead of splitting up a page into RDS_FRAG_SIZE chunks
ourselves, ask rds_page_remainder_alloc() to do it. While it
is possible PAGE_SIZE > FRAG_SIZE, on x86en it isn't, so having
duplicate "carve up a page into buffers" code seems excessive.
The other modification this spawns is the use of a single
struct scatterlist in rds_page_frag instead of a bare page ptr.
This causes verbosity to increase in some places, and decrease
in others.
Finally, I decided to unify the lifetimes and alloc/free of
rds_page_frag and its page. This is a nice simplification in itself,
but will be extra-nice once we come to adding cmason's recycling
patch.

Currently IB device removal destroys connections which are associated with the
device. This prevents connections from being re-established when replacement
devices are added.
Instead we'll queue shutdown work on the connections as their devices are
removed. When we see that devices are added we triger connection attempts on
all connections that don't currently have a device.
The result is that RDS sockets can resume device-independent work (bcopy, not
RDMA) across IB device removal and restoration.

The RDS IB client .remove callback used to free the rds_ibdev for the given
device unconditionally. This could race other users of the struct. This patch
adds refcounting so that we only free the rds_ibdev once all of its users are
done.
Many rds_ibdev users are tied to connections. We give the connection a
reference and change these users to reference the device in the connection
instead of looking it up in the IB client data. The only user of the IB client
data remaining is the first lookup of the device as connections are built up.
Incrementing the reference count of a device found in the IB client data could
race with final freeing so we use an RCU grace period to make sure that freeing
won't happen until those lookups are done.
MRs need the rds_ibdev to get at the pool that they're freed in to. They exist
outside a connection and many MRs can reference different devices from one
socket, so it was natural to have each MR hold a reference. MR refs can be
dropped from interrupt handlers and final device teardown can block so we push
it off to a work struct. Pool teardown had to be fixed to cancel its pending
work instead of deadlocking waiting for all queued work, including itself, to
finish.
MRs get their reference from the global device list, which gets a reference.
It is left unprotected by locks and remains racy. A simple global lock would
be a significant bottleneck. More scalable (complicated) locking should be
done carefully in a later patch.

rds_ib_xmit_rdma() was calling ib_get_client_data() to get at the rds_ibdevice
just to get the max_sge for the transmit. This patch instead has it get it
directly off the rds_ibdev which is stored on the connection.
The current code won't free the rds_ibdev until all the IB connections that use
it are freed. So it's safe to reference the rds_ibdev this way. In the future
it also makes it easier to support proper reference counting of the rds_ibdev
struct.
As an additional bonus, this gets rid of the performance hit of calling in to
the IB stack to look up the rds_ibdev. The current implementation in the IB
stack acquires an interrupt blocking spinlock to protect the registration of
client callback data.

rds_ib_cm_handle_connect() could return without unlocking the c_conn_lock if
rds_setup_qp() failed. Rather than adding another imbalanced mutex_unlock() to

the likelyhood of making this same mistake in the future. We remove the

rds_send_xmit is required to loop around after it releases the lock
because someone else could done a trylock, found someone working on the
list and backed off.
But, once we drop our lock, it is possible that someone else does come
in and make progress on the list. We should detect this and not loop
around if another process is actually working on the list.
This patch adds a generation counter that is bumped every time we
get the lock and do some send work. If the retry notices someone else
has bumped the generation counter, it does not need to loop around and
continue working.

The purpose of the send quota was really to give fairness
when different connections were all using the same
workq thread to send backlogged msgs -- they could only send
so many before another connection could make progress.
Now that each connection is pushing the backlog from its
completion handler, they are all guaranteed to make progress
and the quota isn't needed any longer.
A thread *will* have to send all previously queued data, as well
as any further msgs placed on the queue while while c_send_lock
was held. In a pathological case a single process can get
roped into doing this for long periods while other threads
get off free. But, since it can only do this until the transport
reports full, this is a bounded scenario.
