IB/hfi1: Eliminate races in the SDMA send error path
commit a0e0cb82804a6a21d9067022c2dfdf80d11da429 upstream. pq_update() can only be called in two places: from the completion function when the complete (npkts) sequence of packets has been submitted and processed, or from setup function if a subset of the packets were submitted (i.e. the error path). Currently both paths can call pq_update() if an error occurrs. This race will cause the n_req value to go negative, hanging file_close(), or cause a crash by freeing the txlist more than once. Several variables are used to determine SDMA send state. Most of these are unnecessary, and have code inspectible races between the setup function and the completion function, in both the send path and the error path. The request 'status' value can be set by the setup or by the completion function. This is code inspectibly racy. Since the status is not needed in the completion code or by the caller it has been removed. The request 'done' value races between usage by the setup and the completion function. The completion function does not need this. When the number of processed packets matches npkts, it is done. The 'has_error' value races between usage of the setup and the completion function. This can cause incorrect error handling and leave the n_req in an incorrect value (i.e. negative). Simplify the code by removing all of the unneeded state checks and variables. Clean up iovs node when it is freed. Eliminate race conditions in the error path: If all packets are submitted, the completion handler will set the completion status correctly (ok or aborted). If all packets are not submitted, the caller must wait until the submitted packets have completed, and then set the completion status. These two change eliminate the race condition in the error path.
