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 eb192840 ("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().
