Use RDS probe-ping to compute how many paths may be used with
the peer, and to synchronously start the multiple paths. If mprds is
supported, hash outgoing traffic to one of multiple paths in rds_sendmsg()
when multipath RDS is supported by the transport.

In preparation for multipath RDS, split the rds_connection
structure into a base structure, and a per-path struct rds_conn_path.
The base structure tracks information and locks common to all
paths. The workqs for send/recv/shutdown etc are tracked per
rds_conn_path. Thus the workq callbacks now work with rds_conn_path.
This commit allows for one rds_conn_path per rds_connection, and will

Sasha's found a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS connection code when
sending a message to an apparently unbound socket. The problem is caused
by the code checking if the socket is bound in rds_sendmsg(), which checks
the rs_bound_addr field without taking a lock on the socket. This opens a
race where rs_bound_addr is temporarily set but where the transport is not
in rds_bind(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference when trying to
dereference 'trans' in __rds_conn_create().
Vegard wrote a reproducer for this issue, so kindly ask him to share if
you're interested.
I cannot reproduce the NULL pointer dereference using Vegard's reproducer
with this patch, whereas I could without.

rds_send_xmit() state instead of RDS_LL_SEND_FULL") which
was trying to opportunistically finish the send request
in same thread context.
But because of above recursive lock hang with RDS TCP,
the send work from rds_send_pong() needs to deferred to
worker to avoid lock up. Given RDS ping is more of connectivity
test than performance critical path, its should be ok even
for transport like IB.

The restart condition is only for the case where we reached to

parameter instead of magic value. The batch count threshold value
of 1024 came via commit 443be0e5af ("RDS: make sure not to loop

batch as we can but at the same time we don't hold other waiting
processes for send. Hence back-off after the send_batch_count

rds_send_queue_rm() allows for the "current datagram" being queued
to exceed SO_SNDBUF thresholds by checking bytes queued without
counting in length of current datagram. (Since sk_sndbuf is set
to twice requested SO_SNDBUF value as a kernel heuristic this
is usually fine!)
If this "current datagram" squeezing past the threshold is itself
many times the size of the sk_sndbuf threshold itself then even
twice the SO_SNDBUF does not save us and it gets queued but
cannot be transmitted. Threads block and deadlock and device
becomes unusable. The check for this datagram not exceeding
SNDBUF thresholds (EMSGSIZE) is not done on this datagram as
that check is only done if queueing attempt fails.
(Datagrams that follow this datagram fail queueing attempts, go
through the check and eventually trip EMSGSIZE error but zero
length datagrams silently fail!)
This fix moves the check for datagrams exceeding SNDBUF limits
before any processing or queueing is attempted and returns EMSGSIZE
early in the rds_sndmsg() code. This change also ensures that all
datagrams get checked for exceeding SNDBUF/sk_sndbuf size limits
and the large datagrams that exceed those limits do not get to
rds_send_queue_rm() code for processing.

rds_send_drop_to() is used during socket tear down to find all the
messages on the socket and flush them . It can race with the
acking code unless it takes the m_rs_lock on each and every message.
This plugs a hole where we didn't take m_rs_lock on any message that
didn't have the RDS_MSG_ON_CONN set. Taking m_rs_lock avoids
double frees and other memory corruptions as the ack code trusts
the message m_rs pointer on a socket that had actually been freed.
We must take m_rs_lock to access m_rs. Because of lock nesting and
rs access, we also need to acquire rs_lock.

Second we add a generation number that gets bumped each time the

Looking at the call chain above, the only way I think this would be
possible is if somewhere we already released the same socket->sock which
is assigned to the rds_message at rds_send_remove_from_sock. Which seems
only possible to happen after the tear down done on rds_release.
rds_release properly calls rds_send_drop_to to drop the socket from any
rds_message, and some proper synchronization is in place to avoid race
with rds_send_drop_acked/rds_send_remove_from_sock. However, I still see
a very narrow window where it may be possible we touch a sock already
released: when rds_release races with rds_send_drop_acked, we check
RDS_MSG_ON_CONN to avoid cleanup on the same rds_message, but in this
specific case we don't clear rm->m_rs. In this case, it seems we could
then go on at rds_send_drop_to and after it returns, the sock is freed
by last sock_put on rds_release, with concurrently we being at
rds_send_remove_from_sock; then at some point in the loop at
rds_send_remove_from_sock we process an rds_message which didn't have
rm->m_rs unset for a freed sock, and a possible sock_hold on an sock
already gone at rds_release happens.
This hopefully address the described condition above and avoids a double
free on "second last" sock_put. In addition, I removed the comment about
socket destruction on top of rds_send_drop_acked: we call rds_send_drop_to
in rds_release and we should have things properly serialized there, thus
I can't see the comment being accurate there.

RDS ping/pong over TCP feature has been broken for years(2.6.39 to

ping/pong which both need to lock "struct sock *sk". However, this
lock has already been hold before rds_tcp_data_ready() callback is
triggerred. As a result, we always facing spinlock resursion which
would resulting in system panic.
Given that RDS ping is only used to test the connectivity and not for

Even with the previous fix, we still are reading the iovecs once
to determine SGs needed, and then again later on. Preallocating
space for sg lists as part of rds_message seemed like a good idea
but it might be better to not do this. While working to redo that
code, this patch attempts to protect against userspace rewriting
the rds_iovec array between the first and second accesses.
The consequences of this would be either a too-small or too-large

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.

because someone else could done a trylock, found someone working on the

But, once we drop our lock, it is possible that someone else does come

around if another process is actually working on the list.
This patch adds a generation counter that is bumped every time we
