    IB/core: Fix race condition in resolving IP to MAC · 5fff41e1
    Parav Pandit 提交于
    Currently while resolving IP address to MAC address single delayed work
    is used for resolving multiple such resolve requests. This singled work
    is essentially performs two tasks.
    (a) any retry needed to resolve and
    (b) it executes the callback function for all completed requests
    
    While work is executing callbacks, any new work scheduled on for this
    workqueue is lost because workqueue has completed looking at all pending
    requests and now looking at callbacks, but work is still under
    execution. Any further retry to look at pending requests in
    process_req() after executing callbacks would lead to similar race
    condition (may be reduce the probably further but doesn't eliminate it).
    Retrying to enqueue work that from queue_req() context is not something
    rest of the kernel modules have followed.
    
    Therefore fix in this patch utilizes kernel facility to enqueue multiple
    work items to a workqueue. This ensures that no such requests
    gets lost in synchronization. Request list is still maintained so that
    rdma_cancel_addr() can unlink the request and get the completion with
    error sooner. Neighbour update event handling continues to be handled in
    same way as before.
    Additionally process_req() work entry cancels any pending work for a
    request that gets completed while processing those requests.
    
    Originally ib_addr was ST workqueue, but it became MT work queue with
    patch of [1]. This patch again makes it similar to ST so that
    neighbour update events handler work item doesn't race with
    other work items.
    
    In one such below trace, (though on 4.5 based kernel) it can be seen
    that process_req() never executed the callback, which is likely for an
    event that was schedule by queue_req() when previous callback was
    getting executed by workqueue.
