RDS: TCP: fix race windows in send-path quiescence by rds_tcp_accept_one()
The send path needs to be quiesced before resetting callbacks from
rds_tcp_accept_one(), and commit eb192840266f ("RDS:TCP: Synchronize
rds_tcp_accept_one with rds_send_xmit when resetting t_sock") achieves
this using the c_state and RDS_IN_XMIT bit following the pattern
used by rds_conn_shutdown(). However this leaves the possibility
of a race window as shown in the sequence below
take t_conn_lock in rds_tcp_conn_connect
send outgoing syn to peer
drop t_conn_lock in rds_tcp_conn_connect
incoming from peer triggers rds_tcp_accept_one, conn is
marked CONNECTING
wait for RDS_IN_XMIT to quiesce any rds_send_xmit threads
call rds_tcp_reset_callbacks
[.. race-window where incoming syn-ack can cause the conn
to be marked UP from rds_tcp_state_change ..]
lock_sock called from rds_tcp_reset_callbacks, and we set
t_sock to null
As soon as the conn is marked UP in the race-window above, rds_send_xmit()
threads will proceed to rds_tcp_xmit and may encounter a null-pointer
deref on the t_sock.
Given that rds_tcp_state_change() is invoked in softirq context, whereas
rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() is in workq context, and testing for RDS_IN_XMIT
after lock_sock could result in a deadlock with tcp_sendmsg, this
commit fixes the race by using a new c_state, RDS_TCP_RESETTING, which
will prevent a transition to RDS_CONN_UP from rds_tcp_state_change().
