<title>IPoIB: Call skb_dst_drop() once skb is enqueued for sending</title>

<id>b13912bbb4a2d445c35db24586eb6ecf4707d52d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, IPoIB delays collecting send completions for TX packets in
order to batch work more efficiently.  It does skb_orphan() right after
queuing the packets so that destructors run early, to avoid problems
like holding socket send buffers for too long (since we might not
collect a send completion until a long time after the packet is
actually sent).

However, IPoIB clears IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE because it actually looks
at skb_dst() to update the PMTU when it gets a too-long packet.  This
means that the packets sitting in the TX ring with uncollected send
completions are holding a reference on the dst.  We've seen this lead
to pathological behavior with respect to route and neighbour GC.  The
easy fix for this is to call skb_dst_drop() when we call skb_orphan().

Also, give packets sent via connected mode (CM) the same skb_orphan()
/ skb_dst_drop() treatment that packets sent via datagram mode get.

Pull target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "It has been a very busy development cycle this time around in target
  land, with the highlights including:

   - Kill struct se_subsystem_dev, in favor of direct se_device usage
     (hch)
   - Simplify reservations code by combining SPC-3 + SCSI-2 support for
     virtual backends only (hch)
   - Simplify ALUA code for virtual only backends, and remove left over
     abstractions (hch)
   - Pass sense_reason_t as return value for I/O submission path (hch)
   - Refactor MODE_SENSE emulation to allow for easier addition of new
     mode pages.  (roland)
   - Add emulation of MODE_SELECT (roland)
   - Fix bug in handling of ExpStatSN wrap-around (steve)
   - Fix bug in TMR ABORT_TASK lookup in qla2xxx target (steve)
   - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 support for IBLOCK backends (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_cmd caller + drop
     legacy ioctx-&gt;kref usage (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab)
   - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for
     symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab)
   - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for
     config_group-&gt;default_groups (sebastian)
   - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian)

  All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the
  se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA
  simplifications.  Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of
  MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT
  emulation support for virtual backends.

  Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full
  config_group instead of pointers for config_group-&gt;default_group[]
  setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big
  configurations.  He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt
  to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

  Thank you again to everyone who contributed this round!"

Make it possible to disconnect the IB RC connection used by the SRP
protocol to communicate with a target.

Have the SRP transport layer create a sysfs "delete" attribute for
initiator drivers that support this functionality.

HW QP FATAL errors persist over a reset operation, but we can recover
from that by recreating the QP and associated CQs for each connection.
Creating a new QP/CQ also completely forecloses any possibility of
getting stale completions or packets on the new connection.

Only queue removal work after having changed the target state
into SRP_TARGET_REMOVED and not if that state was already equal
to SRP_TARGET_REMOVED.  That allows us to remove the state
SRP_TARGET_DEAD.  Add a call to srp_disconnect_target() in
srp_remove_target() -- due to previous changes it is now safe to
invoke that function even if the IB connection has already
been disconnected.  This change allows us to replace the target
removal code in srp_remove_one() by an (indirect) call to
srp_remove_target().  Rename srp_target_port.work into
srp_target_port.remove_work to reflect its usage.
