From: Shamir Rabinovitch <shamir.rabinovitch@oracle.com>
Introduce a new extension header type RDSV3_EXTHDR_RDMA_BYTES for
an RDMA initiator to exchange rdma byte counts to its target.
Currently, RDMA operations cannot precisely account how many bytes a
peer just transferred via RDMA, which limits per-connection statistics
and future policy (e.g., monitoring or rate/cgroup accounting of RDMA
traffic).
In this patch we expand rds_message_add_extension to accept multiple
extensions, and add new flag to RDS header: RDS_FLAG_EXTHDR_EXTENSION,
along with a new extension to RDS header: rds_ext_header_rdma_bytes.

From: Gerd Rausch <gerd.rausch@oracle.com>
Upon "sendmsg", RDS/TCP selects a backend connection based
on a hash calculated from the source-port ("RDS_MPATH_HASH").
However, "rds_tcp_accept_one" accepts connections
in the order they arrive, which is non-deterministic.
Therefore the mapping of the sender's "cp->cp_index"
to that of the receiver changes if the backend
connections are dropped and reconnected.
However, connection state that's preserved across reconnects
(e.g. "cp_next_rx_seq") relies on that sender<->receiver
mapping to never change.
So we make sure that client and server of the TCP connection
have the exact same "cp->cp_index" across reconnects by
encoding "cp->cp_index" in the lower three bits of the
client's TCP source port.
A new extension "RDS_EXTHDR_SPORT_IDX" is introduced,
that allows the server to tell the difference between
clients that do the "cp->cp_index" encoding, and
legacy clients that pick source ports randomly.

From: Gerd Rausch <gerd.rausch@oracle.com>
RDS/TCP differs from RDS/RDMA in that message acknowledgment
is done based on TCP sequence numbers:
As soon as the last byte of a message has been acknowledged by the
TCP stack of a peer, rds_tcp_write_space() goes on to discard
prior messages from the send queue.
Which is fine, for as long as the receiver never throws any messages
away.
The dequeuing of messages in RDS/TCP is done either from the
"sk_data_ready" callback pointing to rds_tcp_data_ready()
(the most common case), or from the receive worker pointing
to rds_tcp_recv_path() which is called for as long as the
connection is "RDS_CONN_UP".
However, as soon as rds_conn_path_drop() is called for whatever reason,
including "DR_USER_RESET", "cp_state" transitions to "RDS_CONN_ERROR",
and rds_tcp_restore_callbacks() ends up restoring the callbacks
and thereby disabling message receipt.
So messages already acknowledged to the sender were dropped.
Furthermore, the "->shutdown" callback was always called
with an invalid parameter ("RCV_SHUTDOWN | SEND_SHUTDOWN == 3"),
instead of the correct pre-increment value ("SHUT_RDWR == 2").
inet_shutdown() returns "-EINVAL" in such cases, rendering
this call a NOOP.
So we change rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown() to do the proper
"->shutdown(SHUT_WR)" call in order to signal EOF to the peer
and make it transition to "TCP_CLOSE_WAIT" (RFC 793).
This should make the peer also enter rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown()
and do the same.
This allows us to dequeue all messages already received
and acknowledged to the peer.
We do so, until we know that the receive queue no longer has data
(skb_queue_empty()) and that we couldn't have any data
in flight anymore, because the socket transitioned to
any of the states "CLOSING", "TIME_WAIT", "CLOSE_WAIT",
"LAST_ACK", or "CLOSE" (RFC 793).
However, if we do just that, we suddenly see duplicate RDS
messages being delivered to the application.
So what gives?
Turns out that with MPRDS and its multitude of backend connections,
retransmitted messages ("RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED") can outrace
the dequeuing of their original counterparts.
And the duplicate check implemented in rds_recv_local() only
discards duplicates if flag "RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED" is set.
Rather curious, because a duplicate is a duplicate; it shouldn't
matter which copy is looked at and delivered first.
To avoid this entire situation, we simply make the sender discard
messages from the send-queue right from within
rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown(). Just like rds_tcp_write_space() would
have done, were it called in time or still called.
This makes sure that we no longer have messages that we know
the receiver already dequeued sitting in our send-queue,
and therefore avoid the entire "RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED" fiasco.
Now we got rid of the duplicate RDS message delivery, but we
still run into cases where RDS messages are dropped.
This time it is due to the delayed setting of the socket-callbacks
in rds_tcp_accept_one() via either rds_tcp_reset_callbacks()
or rds_tcp_set_callbacks().
By the time rds_tcp_accept_one() gets there, the socket
may already have transitioned into state "TCP_CLOSE_WAIT",
but rds_tcp_state_change() was never called.
Subsequently, "->shutdown(SHUT_WR)" did not happen either.
So the peer ends up getting stuck in state "TCP_FIN_WAIT2".
We fix that by checking for states "TCP_CLOSE_WAIT", "TCP_LAST_ACK",
or "TCP_CLOSE" and drop the freshly accepted socket in that case.
This problem is observable by running "rds-stress --reset"
frequently on either of the two sides of a RDS connection,
or both while other "rds-stress" processes are exchanging data.
Those "rds-stress" processes reported out-of-sequence
errors, with the expected sequence number being smaller
than the one actually received (due to the dropped messages).

From: Gerd Rausch <gerd.rausch@oracle.com>
In cases where the server (the node with the higher IP-address)
in an RDS/TCP connection is overwhelmed it is possible that the
socket that was just accepted is chock-full of messages, up to
the limit of what the socket receive buffer permits.
Subsequently, "rds_tcp_data_ready" won't be called anymore,
because there is no more space to receive additional messages.
Nor was it called prior to the point of calling "rds_tcp_set_callbacks",
because the "sk_data_ready" pointer didn't even point to
"rds_tcp_data_ready" yet.
We fix this by simply kick-starting the receive-worker
for all cases where the socket state is neither
"TCP_CLOSE_WAIT" nor "TCP_CLOSE".

From: Gerd Rausch <gerd.rausch@oracle.com>
Instead of just blocking the sender until "c_npaths" is known
(it gets updated upon the receipt of a MPRDS PONG message),
simply use the first lane (cp_index#0).
But just using the first lane isn't enough.
As soon as we enqueue messages on a different lane, we'd run the risk
of out-of-order delivery of RDS messages.
Earlier messages enqueued on "cp_index == 0" could be delivered later
than more recent messages enqueued on "cp_index > 0", mostly because of
possible head of line blocking issues causing the first lane to be
slower.
To avoid that, we simply take a snapshot of "cp_next_tx_seq" at the
time we're about to fan-out to more lanes.
Then we delay the transmission of messages enqueued on other lanes
with "cp_index > 0" until cp_index#0 caught up with the delivery of
new messages (from "cp_send_queue") as well as in-flight
messages (from "cp_retrans") that haven't been acknowledged yet
by the receiver.
We also add a new counter "mprds_catchup_tx0_retries" to keep track
of how many times "rds_send_xmit" had to suspend activities,
because it was waiting for the first lane to catch up.

From: Gerd Rausch <gerd.rausch@oracle.com>
Even though a peer may have already received a
non-zero value for "RDS_EXTHDR_NPATHS" from a node in the past,
the current peer may not.
Therefore it is important to initiate another rds_send_ping()
after a re-connect to any peer:
It is unknown at that time if we're still talking to the same
instance of RDS kernel modules on the other side.
Otherwise, the peer may just operate on a single lane
("c_npaths == 0"), not knowing that more lanes are available.
However, if "c_with_sport_idx" is supported,
we also need to check that the connection we accepted on lane#0
meets the proper source port modulo requirement, as we fan out:
Since the exchange of "RDS_EXTHDR_NPATHS" and "RDS_EXTHDR_SPORT_IDX"
is asynchronous, initially we have no choice but to accept an incoming
connection (via "accept") in the first slot ("cp_index == 0")
for backwards compatibility.
But that very connection may have come from a different lane
with "cp_index != 0", since the peer thought that we already understood
and handled "c_with_sport_idx" properly, as indicated by a previous
exchange before a module was reloaded.
In short:
If a module gets reloaded, we recover from that, but do *not*
allow a downgrade to support fewer lanes.
Downgrades would require us to merge messages from separate lanes,
which is rather tricky with the current RDS design.
Each lane has its own sequence number space and all messages
would need to be re-sequenced as we merge, all while
handling "RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED" and "cp_retrans" properly.
