    rxrpc: Fix races between skb free, ACK generation and replying · 372ee163

    Inside the kafs filesystem it is possible to occasionally have a call
    processed and terminated before we've had a chance to check whether we need
    to clean up the rx queue for that call because afs_send_simple_reply() ends
    the call when it is done, but this is done in a workqueue item that might
    happen to run to completion before afs_deliver_to_call() completes.
    
    Further, it is possible for rxrpc_kernel_send_data() to be called to send a
    reply before the last request-phase data skb is released.  The rxrpc skb
    destructor is where the ACK processing is done and the call state is
    advanced upon release of the last skb.  ACK generation is also deferred to
    a work item because it's possible that the skb destructor is not called in
    a context where kernel_sendmsg() can be invoked.
    
    To this end, the following changes are made:
    
     (1) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is added.  This should be called whenever
         an skb is emptied so as to crank the ACK and call states.  This does
         not release the skb, however.  kernel_rxrpc_free_skb() must now be
         called to achieve that.  These together replace
         rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered().
    
     (2) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is wrapped by afs_data_consumed().
    
         This makes afs_deliver_to_call() easier to work as the skb can simply
         be discarded unconditionally here without trying to work out what the
         return value of the ->deliver() function means.
    
         The ->deliver() functions can, via afs_data_complete(),
         afs_transfer_reply() and afs_extract_data() mark that an skb has been
         consumed (thereby cranking the state) without the need to
         conditionally free the skb to make sure the state is correct on an
         incoming call for when the call processor tries to send the reply.
    
     (3) rxrpc_recvmsg() now has to call kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() when it
         has finished with a packet and MSG_PEEK isn't set.
    
     (4) rxrpc_packet_destructor() no longer calls rxrpc_hard_ACK_data().
    
         Because of this, we no longer need to clear the destructor and put the
         call before we free the skb in cases where we don't want the ACK/call
         state to be cranked.
    
     (5) The ->deliver() call-type callbacks are made to return -EAGAIN rather
         than 0 if they expect more data (afs_extract_data() returns -EAGAIN to
         the delivery function already), and the caller is now responsible for
         producing an abort if that was the last packet.
    
     (6) There are many bits of unmarshalling code where:
    
     		ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...);
    		switch (ret) {
    		case 0:		break;
    		case -EAGAIN:	return 0;
    		default:	return ret;
    		}
    
         is to be found.  As -EAGAIN can now be passed back to the caller, we
         now just return if ret < 0:
    
     		ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...);
    		if (ret < 0)
    			return ret;
    
     (7) Checks for trailing data and empty final data packets has been
         consolidated as afs_data_complete().  So:
    
    		if (skb->len > 0)
    			return -EBADMSG;
    		if (!last)
    			return 0;
    
         becomes:
    
    		ret = afs_data_complete(call, skb, last);
    		if (ret < 0)
    			return ret;
    
     (8) afs_transfer_reply() now checks the amount of data it has against the
         amount of data desired and the amount of data in the skb and returns
         an error to induce an abort if we don't get exactly what we want.
    
    Without these changes, the following oops can occasionally be observed,
    particularly if some printks are inserted into the delivery path:
