<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.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Include fixes for netrom and dsa (Fabian Frederick and Florian
    Fainelli)

 2) Fix FIXED_PHY support in stmmac, from Giuseppe CAVALLARO.

 3) Several SKB use after free fixes (vxlan, openvswitch, vxlan,
    ip_tunnel, fou), from Li ROngQing.

 4) fec driver PTP support fixes from Luwei Zhou and Nimrod Andy.

 5) Use after free in virtio_net, from Michael S Tsirkin.

 6) Fix flow mask handling for megaflows in openvswitch, from Pravin B
    Shelar.

 7) ISDN gigaset and capi bug fixes from Tilman Schmidt.

 8) Fix route leak in ip_send_unicast_reply(), from Vasily Averin.

 9) Fix two eBPF JIT bugs on x86, from Alexei Starovoitov.

10) TCP_SKB_CB() reorganization caused a few regressions, fixed by Cong
    Wang and Eric Dumazet.

11) Don't overwrite end of SKB when parsing malformed sctp ASCONF
    chunks, from Daniel Borkmann.

12) Don't call sock_kfree_s() with NULL pointers, this function also has
    the side effect of adjusting the socket memory usage.  From Cong Wang.
