The rds_iw_update_cm_id function stores a large 'struct rds_sock' object
on the stack in order to pass a pair of addresses. This happens to just
fit withint the 1024 byte stack size warning limit on x86, but just
exceed that limit on ARM, which gives us this warning:

net/rds/iw_rdma.c:200:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

As the use of this large variable is basically bogus, we can rearrange
the code to not do that. Instead of passing an rds socket into
rds_iw_get_device, we now just pass the two addresses that we have
available in rds_iw_update_cm_id, and we change rds_iw_get_mr accordingly,
to create two address structures on the stack there.

<title>rds: rds_cong_queue_updates needs to defer the congestion update transmission</title>

<id>80ad0d4a7a75158f2824d541e4802c88aba4f063</id>
<content type='text'>
When the RDS transport is TCP, we cannot inline the call to rds_send_xmit
from rds_cong_queue_update because
(a) we are already holding the sock_lock in the recv path, and
    will deadlock when tcp_setsockopt/tcp_sendmsg try to get the sock
    lock
(b) cong_queue_update does an irqsave on the rds_cong_lock, and this
    will trigger warnings (for a good reason) from functions called
    out of sock_lock.

This patch reverts the change introduced by
2fa57129d ("RDS: Bypass workqueue when queueing cong updates").

The patch has been verified for both RDS/TCP as well as RDS/RDMA
to ensure that there are not regressions for either transport:
 - for verification of  RDS/TCP a client-server unit-test was used,
   with the server blocked in gdb and thus unable to drain its rcvbuf,
   eventually triggering a RDS congestion update.
 - for RDS/RDMA, the standard IB regression tests were used

Commit 083735f4b01b ("rds: switch rds_message_copy_from_user() to iov_iter")
breaks rds_message_copy_from_user() semantics on success, and causes it
to return nbytes copied, when it should return 0.  This commit fixes that bug.

The macro rdsdebug is defined as

  pr_debug("%s(): " fmt, __func__ , ##args)

Hence it doesn't make sense to include the name of the calling
function explicitly in the format string passed to rdsdebug.

Max unacked packets/bytes is an int while sizeof(long) was used in the
sysctl table.

This means that when they were getting read we'd also leak kernel memory
to userspace along with the timeout values.

Note that the code _using_ -&gt;msg_iter at that point will be very
unhappy with anything other than unshifted iovec-backed iov_iter.
We still need to convert users to proper primitives.
