Clean up.
Commit 7c8d9e7c8863 ("xprtrdma: Move Receive posting to Receive
handler") reduced the number of rpcrdma_rep_create call sites to
one. After that commit, the backchannel code no longer invokes it.
Therefore the free list logic added by commit d698c4a02ee0
("xprtrdma: Fix backchannel allocation of extra rpcrdma_reps") is
no longer necessary, and in fact adds some extra overhead that we
can do without.
Simply post any newly created reps. They will get added back to
the rb_recv_bufs list when they subsequently complete.

Since commit ba69cd122ece ("xprtrdma: Remove support for FMR memory
registration"), FRWR is the only supported memory registration mode.
We can take advantage of the asynchronous nature of FRWR's LOCAL_INV
Work Requests to get rid of the completion wait by having the
LOCAL_INV completion handler take care of DMA unmapping MRs and
waking the upper layer RPC waiter.
This eliminates two context switches when local invalidation is
necessary. As a side benefit, we will no longer need the per-xprt
deferred completion work queue.

When a marshal operation fails, any MRs that were already set up for
that request are recycled. Recycling releases MRs and creates new
ones, which is expensive.
Since commit f2877623082b ("xprtrdma: Chain Send to FastReg WRs")
was merged, recycling FRWRs is unnecessary. This is because before
that commit, frwr_map had already posted FAST_REG Work Requests,
so ownership of the MRs had already been passed to the NIC and thus
dealing with them had to be delayed until they completed.
Since that commit, however, FAST_REG WRs are posted at the same time
as the Send WR. This means that if marshaling fails, we are certain
the MRs are safe to simply unmap and place back on the free list
because neither the Send nor the FAST_REG WRs have been posted yet.
The kernel still has ownership of the MRs at this point.
This reduces the total number of MRs that the xprt has to create
under heavy workloads and makes the marshaling logic less brittle.

Now that both the Send and Receive completions are handled in
process context, it is safe to DMA unmap and return MRs to the
free or recycle lists directly in the completion handlers.
Doing this means rpcrdma_frwr no longer needs to track the state of
each MR, meaning that a VALID or FLUSHED MR can no longer appear on
an xprt's MR free list. Thus there is no longer a need to track the
MR's registration state in rpcrdma_frwr.

Under high I/O workloads, I've noticed that an RPC/RDMA transport
occasionally deadlocks (IOPS goes to zero, and doesn't recover).
Diagnosis shows that the sendctx queue is empty, but when sendctxs
are returned to the queue, the xprt_write_space wake-up never
occurs. The wake-up logic in rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked is racy.
I noticed that both EMPTY_SCQ and XPRT_WRITE_SPACE are implemented
via an atomic bit. Just one of those is sufficient. Removing
EMPTY_SCQ in favor of the generic bit mechanism makes the deadlock
un-reproducible.
Without EMPTY_SCQ, rpcrdma_buffer::rb_flags is no longer used and
is therefore removed.
Unfortunately this patch does not apply cleanly to stable. If
needed, someone will have to port it and test it.

This is a latent bug. xdr_stream_pos works by subtracting
xdr_stream::nwords from xdr_buf::len. But xdr_stream::nwords is not
initialized by xdr_init_encode().
It works today only because all fields in rpcrdma_req::rl_stream
are initialized to zero by rpcrdma_req_create, making the
subtraction in xdr_stream_pos always a no-op.
I found this issue via code inspection. It was introduced by commit
39f4cd9e9982 ("xprtrdma: Harden chunk list encoding against send
buffer overflow"), but the code has changed enough since then that
this fix can't be automatically applied to stable.

sg_alloc_table_chained() currently allows the caller to provide one
preallocated SGL and returns if the requested number isn't bigger than
size of that SGL. This is used to inline an SGL for an IO request.
However, scattergather code only allows that size of the 1st preallocated
SGL to be SG_CHUNK_SIZE(128). This means a substantial amount of memory
(4KB) is claimed for the SGL for each IO request. If the I/O is small, it
would be prudent to allocate a smaller SGL.
Introduce an extra parameter to sg_alloc_table_chained() and
sg_free_table_chained() for specifying size of the preallocated SGL.
Both __sg_free_table() and __sg_alloc_table() assume that each SGL has the
same size except for the last one. Change the code to allow both functions
to accept a variable size for the 1st preallocated SGL.

The DRC appears to be effectively empty after an RPC/RDMA transport
reconnect. The problem is that each connection uses a different
source port, which defeats the DRC hash.
Clients always have to disconnect before they send retransmissions
to reset the connection's credit accounting, thus every retransmit
on NFS/RDMA will miss the DRC.
An NFS/RDMA client's IP source port is meaningless for RDMA
transports. The transport layer typically sets the source port value
on the connection to a random ephemeral port. The server already
ignores it for the "secure port" check. See commit 16e4d93f6de7
("NFSD: Ignore client's source port on RDMA transports").
The Linux NFS server's DRC resolves XID collisions from the same
source IP address by using the checksum of the first 200 bytes of
the RPC call header.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Instead of using a fixed number, allow the amount of Send completion
batching to vary based on the client's maximum credit limit.
- A larger default gives a small boost to IOPS throughput
- Reducing it based on max_requests gives a safe result when the

max_qp_wr).

Allocating an rpcrdma_req's regbufs at xprt create time enables
a pair of micro-optimizations:
First, if these regbufs are always there, we can eliminate two
conditional branches from the hot xprt_rdma_allocate path.
Second, by allocating a 1KB buffer, it places a lower bound on the
size of these buffers, without adding yet another conditional
branch. The lower bound reduces the number of hardway re-
allocations. In fact, for some workloads it completely eliminates
hardway allocations.

In very rare cases, an NFS READ operation might predict that the
non-payload part of the RPC Call is large. For instance, an
NFSv4 COMPOUND with a large GETATTR result, in combination with a
large Kerberos credential, could push the non-payload part to be
several kilobytes.
If the non-payload part is larger than the connection's inline
threshold, the client is required to provision a Reply chunk. The
current Linux client does not check for this case. There are two
obvious ways to handle it:
a. Provision a Write chunk for the payload and a Reply chunk for
the non-payload part
b. Provision a Reply chunk for the whole RPC Reply
Some testing at a recent NFS bake-a-thon showed that servers can
mostly handle a. but there are some corner cases that do not work
yet. b. already works (it has to, to handle krb5i/p), but could be
somewhat less efficient. However, I expect this scenario to be very
rare -- no-one has reported a problem yet.
So I'm going to implement b. Sometime later I will provide some
patches to help make b. a little more efficient by more carefully
choosing the Reply chunk's segment sizes to ensure the payload is
optimally aligned.

In the rpc server, When something happens that might be reason to wake
up a thread to do something, what we do is
- modify xpt_flags, sk_sock->flags, xpt_reserved, or
xpt_nr_rqsts to indicate the new situation
- call svc_xprt_enqueue() to decide whether to wake up a thread.
svc_xprt_enqueue may require multiple conditions to be true before
queueing up a thread to handle the xprt. In the SMP case, one of the
other CPU's may have set another required condition, and in that case,
although both CPUs run svc_xprt_enqueue(), it's possible that neither
call sees the writes done by the other CPU in time, and neither one
recognizes that all the required conditions have been set. A socket
could therefore be ignored indefinitely.
Add memory barries to ensure that any svc_xprt_enqueue() call will
always see the conditions changed by other CPUs before deciding to
ignore a socket.
I've never seen this race reported. In the unlikely event it happens,
another event will usually come along and the problem will fix itself.
So I don't think this is worth backporting to stable.
Chuck tried this patch and said "I don't see any performance
regressions, but my server has only a single last-level CPU cache."
