[PATCH net-next 1/6] net/rds: make rds_destroy_pending() cover single-connection destroy

From: Allison Henderson <achender@kernel.org>

rds_conn_destroy() cancels the path works and then destroys the
per-path workqueue.  However, nothing currently stops the
work-requeueing sites from queueing new work on the connection while
that happens.  The existing code would suggest that this protection
is supposed to come from rds_destroy_pending(), since all of those
sites already guard the queueing with rds_destroy_pending() under
rcu_read_lock(), and rds_conn_destroy() already issues a
synchronize_rcu() after unhashing the connection.  But the predicate
only tests for the two global teardown cases (netns destruction via
check_net(), module unload via ->t_unloading).  Because the conn
itself lacks any indication that a destroy is in progress, the
predicate does not cover the destruction of a single connection
outside these two cases.

rds_conn_destroy() is not limited to the global paths: rds_ib
destroys connections whose underlying IB device was removed
(rds_ib_destroy_nodev_conns()) and connections whose peer negotiated
an unsupported protocol version (rds_ib_cm_connect_complete()).
While one of those runs, a concurrent rds_cong_queue_updates() can
still find the connection on the congestion map's m_conn_list (the
conn is only removed from it after the paths are torn down) and call
queue_delayed_work() on a cp_wq that destroy_workqueue() has already
freed.  Additionally, the other requeueing sites can likewise re-arm
works that live in the about-to-be-freed connection unless
rds_destroy_pending() has something to guard it with.

The version-mismatch path used to be covered: commit c90ecbfaf50d2
("rds: Use atomic flag to track connections being destroyed")
introduced the RDS_DESTROY_PENDING cp_flags bit for exactly this, and
after commit ebeeb1ad9b8ad ("rds: tcp: use rds_destroy_pending() to
synchronize netns/module teardown and rds connection/workq management")
it was set right before that rds_conn_destroy() call and
tested via rds_ib_is_unloading().  Commit cdc306a5c9cd3 ("rds: make
v3.1 as compat version") then removed the last set_bit while leaving
the test behind, so the bit has been dead ever since and per-conn
destroy has run unguarded.

Bring the protection back at the connection level, where it also
covers the device-removal path that was never guarded: set
conn->c_destroy_in_prog before the unhash + synchronize_rcu() sequence
in rds_conn_destroy() and test it in rds_destroy_pending().  The
existing rcu_read_lock() around every check-and-queue site pairs with
that synchronize_rcu(): once it returns, every new reader observes the
flag and refuses to queue, and anything queued before it is flushed or
cancelled by the existing teardown.  Drop the now-unreferenced
RDS_DESTROY_PENDING bit and its dead test.

In the Oracle UEK kernel the equivalent conn->c_destroy_in_prog flag
is part of the larger connection refcounting rework ("net/rds: Add
krefs to struct rds_connection"), including ("net/rds: Merge uses of
conn->c_destroy_in_prog & RDS_DESTROY_PENDING").  This ports the
missing pieces of the requeue guard, which stand on their own.
