RDS: Fix potential race around rds_i[bw]_allocation
"At rds_ib_recv_refill_one(), it first executes atomic_read(&rds_ib_allocation) for if-condition checking, and then executes atomic_inc(&rds_ib_allocation) if the condition was not satisfied. However, if any other code which updates rds_ib_allocation executes between these two atomic operation executions, it seems that it may result race condition. (especially when rds_ib_allocation + 1 == rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation)" This patch fixes this by using atomic_inc_unless to eliminate the possibility of allocating more than rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation and then decrementing the count if the allocation fails. It also makes an identical change to the iwarp transport. Reported-by: Shin Hong <hongshin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
