We used to pass a flush variable to mcast_stop_thread to indicate if
we should flush the workqueue or not. This was due to some code
trying to flush a workqueue that it was currently running on which is
a no-no. Now that we have per-device work queues, and now that
ipoib_mcast_restart_task has taken the fact that it is queued on a
single thread workqueue with all of the ipoib_mcast_join_task's and
therefore has no need to stop the join task while it runs, we can do
away with the flush parameter and unilaterally flush always.

During my recent work on the rtnl lock deadlock in the IPoIB driver, I
saw that even once I fixed the apparent races for a single device, as
soon as that device had any children, new races popped up. It turns
out that this is because no matter how well we protect against races
on a single device, the fact that all devices use the same workqueue,
and flush_workqueue() flushes *everything* from that workqueue, we can
have one device in the middle of a down and holding the rtnl lock and
another totally unrelated device needing to run mcast_restart_task,
which wants the rtnl lock and will loop trying to take it unless is
sees its own FLAG_ADMIN_UP flag go away. Because the unrelated
interface will never see its own ADMIN_UP flag drop, the interface
going down will deadlock trying to flush the queue. There are several
possible solutions to this problem:
Make carrier_on_task and mcast_restart_task try to take the rtnl for
some set period of time and if they fail, then bail. This runs the
real risk of dropping work on the floor, which can end up being its
own separate kind of deadlock.
Set some global flag in the driver that says some device is in the
middle of going down, letting all tasks know to bail. Again, this can
drop work on the floor. I suppose if our own ADMIN_UP flag doesn't go
away, then maybe after a few tries on the rtnl lock we can queue our
own task back up as a delayed work and return and avoid dropping work
on the floor that way. But I'm not 100% convinced that we won't cause
other problems.
Or the method this patch attempts to use, which is when we bring an
interface up, create a workqueue specifically for that interface, so
that when we take it back down, we are flushing only those tasks
associated with our interface. In addition, keep the global
workqueue, but now limit it to only flush tasks. In this way, the
flush tasks can always flush the device specific work queues without
having deadlock issues.

Our mcast_dev_flush routine and our mcast_restart_task can race
against each other. In particular, they both hold the priv->lock
while manipulating the rbtree and while removing mcast entries from
the multicast_list and while adding entries to the remove_list, but
they also both drop their locks prior to doing the actual removes.
The mcast_dev_flush routine is run entirely under the rtnl lock and so
has at least some locking. The actual race condition is like this:
Thread 1 Thread 2
ifconfig ib0 up
start multicast join for broadcast
multicast join completes for broadcast
start to add more multicast joins
call mcast_restart_task to add new entries
ifconfig ib0 down
mcast_dev_flush
mcast_leave(mcast A)
mcast_leave(mcast A)
As mcast_leave calls ib_sa_multicast_leave, and as member in
core/multicast.c is ref counted, we run into an unbalanced refcount
issue. To avoid stomping on each others removes, take the rtnl lock
specifically when we are deleting the entries from the remove list.

Commit a9c8ba5884 ("IPoIB: Fix usage of uninitialized multicast
objects") added a new flag MCAST_JOIN_STARTED, but was not very strict
in how it was used. We didn't always initialize the completion struct
before we set the flag, and we didn't always call complete on the
completion struct from all paths that complete it. This made it less
than totally effective, and certainly made its use confusing. And in
the flush function we would use the presence of this flag to signal
that we should wait on the completion struct, but we never cleared
this flag, ever. This is further muddied by the fact that we overload
the MCAST_FLAG_BUSY flag to mean two different things: we have a join
in flight, and we have succeeded in getting an ib_sa_join_multicast.
In order to make things clearer and aid in resolving the rtnl deadlock
bug I've been chasing, I cleaned this up a bit.
1) Remove the MCAST_JOIN_STARTED flag entirely
2) Un-overload MCAST_FLAG_BUSY so it now only means a join is in-flight
3) Test on mcast->mc directly to see if we have completed
ib_sa_join_multicast (using IS_ERR_OR_NULL)
4) Make sure that before setting MCAST_FLAG_BUSY we always initialize
the mcast->done completion struct
5) Make sure that before calling complete(&mcast->done), we always clear
the MCAST_FLAG_BUSY bit
6) Take the mcast_mutex before we call ib_sa_multicast_join and also
take the mutex in our join callback. This forces
ib_sa_multicast_join to return and set mcast->mc before we process
the callback. This way, our callback can safely clear mcast->mc
if there is an error on the join and we will do the right thing as
a result in mcast_dev_flush.
7) Because we need the mutex to synchronize mcast->mc, we can no
longer call mcast_sendonly_join directly from mcast_send and
instead must add sendonly join processing to the mcast_join_task
A number of different races are resolved with these changes. These
races existed with the old MCAST_FLAG_BUSY usage, the
MCAST_JOIN_STARTED flag was an attempt to address them, and while it
helped, a determined effort could still trip things up.
One race looks something like this:
Thread 1 Thread 2
ib_sa_join_multicast (as part of running restart mcast task)
alloc member
call callback
ifconfig ib0 down
wait_for_completion
callback call completes
wait_for_completion in
mcast_dev_flush completes
mcast->mc is PTR_ERR_OR_NULL
so we skip ib_sa_leave_multicast
return from callback
return from ib_sa_join_multicast
set mcast->mc = return from ib_sa_multicast
We now have a permanently unbalanced join/leave issue that trips up the
refcounting in core/multicast.c
Another like this:
Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 3
ib_sa_multicast_join
ifconfig ib0 down
priv->broadcast = NULL
join_complete
wait_for_completion
mcast->mc is not yet set, so don't clear
return from ib_sa_join_multicast and set mcast->mc
complete
return -EAGAIN (making mcast->mc invalid)
call ib_sa_multicast_leave
on invalid mcast->mc, hang
forever
By holding the mutex around ib_sa_multicast_join and taking the mutex
early in the callback, we force mcast->mc to be valid at the time we
run the callback. This allows us to clear mcast->mc if there is an
error and the join is going to fail. We do this before we complete
the mcast. In this way, mcast_dev_flush always sees consistent state
in regards to mcast->mc membership at the time that the
wait_for_completion() returns.

We blindly assume that we can just take the rtnl lock and that will
prevent races with downing this interface. Unfortunately, that's not
the case. In ipoib_mcast_stop_thread() we will call flush_workqueue()
in an attempt to clear out all remaining instances of ipoib_join_task.
But, since this task is put on the same workqueue as the join task,
the flush_workqueue waits on this thread too. But this thread is
deadlocked on the rtnl lock. The better thing here is to use trylock
and loop on that until we either get the lock or we see that
FLAG_ADMIN_UP has been cleared, in which case we don't need to do
anything anyway and we just return.

Address resolution always does a context switch to a work-queue to
deliver the address resolution event. When the IP address is already
cached in the system ARP table, we're going through the following:
chain:
rdma_resolve_ip --> addr_resolve (cache hit) -->
which ends up with:
queue_req --> set_timeout (now) --> mod_delayed_work(,, delay=1)
We actually do realize that the timeout should be zero, but the code
forces it to a minimum of one jiffie.
Using one jiffie as the minimum delay value results in sub-optimal
scheduling of executing this work item by the workqueue, which on the
below testbed costs about 3-4ms out of 12ms total time.
To fix that, we let the minimum delay to be zero. Note that the
connect step times change too, as there are address resolution calls
from that flow.
The results were taken from running both client and server on the
same node, over mlx4 RoCE port.

Applications can request that the SM assign an MGID by passing a mcast
member request containing MGID = 0. When the SM responds by sending
the allocated MGID, this MGID replaces the 0-MGID in the multicast group.
However, the MGID field in the group is also the key field in the IB
core multicast code rbtree containing the multicast groups for the
port.
Since this is a key field, correct handling requires that the group
entry be deleted from the rbtree and then re-inserted with the new
key, so that the table structure is properly maintained.
The current code does not do this correctly. Correct operation
requires that if the key-field gid has changed at all, it should be
deleted and re-inserted.
Note that when inserting, if the new MGID is zero (not the case here
but the code should handle this correctly), we allow duplicate entries
for 0-MGIDs.

overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,

The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that
has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the
userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many
devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
well promote it out of staging.
This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.

Pull core block fix from Jens Axboe:
"Jan reported a problem this morning with a crash in blk-mq, and after
looking over the recent changes, it's obvious that the blk-mq-tag
waitqueue handling change is buggy. We could end up _not_ doing
finish_wait() before switching to a new waitqueue, thus corrupting the
wait task list"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
Revert "blk-mq: Micro-optimize bt_get()"
