We have for each socket :
One spinlock (sk_slock.slock)
One rwlock (sk_callback_lock)
Possible scenarios are :
(A) (this is used in net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c)
read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) (without blocking BH)
<BH>
spin_lock(&sk->sk_slock.slock);
...
read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock);
...
(B)
write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
stuff
write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
(C)
spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_slock)
...
write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
stuff
write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
spin_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_slock)
This (C) case conflicts with (A) :
CPU1 [A] CPU2 [C]
read_lock(callback_lock)
<BH> spin_lock_bh(slock)
<wait to spin_lock(slock)>
<wait to write_lock_bh(callback_lock)>
We have one problematic (C) use case in inet_csk_listen_stop() :
local_bh_disable();
bh_lock_sock(child); // spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_slock)
WARN_ON(sock_owned_by_user(child));
...
sock_orphan(child); // write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
lockdep is not happy with this, as reported by Tetsuo Handa
It seems only way to deal with this is to use read_lock_bh(callbacklock)
everywhere.
Thanks to Jarek for pointing a bug in my first attempt and suggesting
this solution.

Instead of waking the send thread whenever any send space is available,
wait until it is at least half empty. This is modeled on how
sock_def_write_space() does it, and may help to minimize context
switches.

This code allows RDS to be tunneled over a TCP connection.
RDMA operations are disabled when using TCP transport,
but this frees RDS from the IB/RDMA stack dependency, and allows
it to be used with standard Ethernet adapters, or in a VM.
