    rds: rds_cong_queue_updates needs to defer the congestion update transmission · 80ad0d4a
    Sowmini Varadhan authored
    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
    2fa57129 ("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
