<title>RDS: make sure not to loop forever inside rds_send_xmit</title>

<content type='text'>
If a determined set of concurrent senders keep the send queue full,
we can loop forever inside rds_send_xmit.  This fix has two parts.

First we are dropping out of the while(1) loop after we've processed a
large batch of messages.

Second we add a generation number that gets bumped each time the
xmit bit lock is acquired.  If someone else has jumped in and
made progress in the queue, we skip our goto restart.

Original patch by Chris Mason.

<title>RDS: only use passive connections when addresses match</title>

<id>1789b2c077f6d6c82b04cfe49a0fec020dc42488</id>
<content type='text'>
Passive connections were added for the case where one loopback IB
connection between identical addresses needs another connection to store
the second QP.  Unfortunately, they were also created in the case where
the addesses differ and we already have both QPs.

This lead to a message reordering bug.

- two different IB interfaces and addresses on a machine: A B
- traffic is sent from A to B
- connection from A-B is created, connect request sent
- listening accepts connect request, B-A is created
- traffic flows, next_rx is incremented
- unacked messages exist on the retrans list
- connection A-B is shut down, new connect request sent
- listen sees existing loopback B-A, creates new passive B-A
- retrans messages are sent and delivered because of 0 next_rx

The problem is that the second connection request saw the previously
existing parent connection.  Instead of using it, and using the existing
next_rx_seq state for the traffic between those IPs, it mistakenly
thought that it had to create a passive connection.

We fix this by only using passive connections in the special case where
laddr and faddr match.  In this case we'll only ever have one parent
sending connection requests and one passive connection created as the
listening path sees the existing parent connection which initiated the
request.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c
	net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
	net/ipv4/inet_diag.c

The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky.  The conflict
hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least.  It
split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual
conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being
be_map_pci_bars().

So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top
of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since
the last time I merged.  And this worked beautifully.

The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple
overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve.

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.

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

<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

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.

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.
