We shouldn't free things here because we free them later.
The call tree looks like this:
iser_connect() ==> initiating the connection establishment
and later
iser_cma_handler() => iser_route_handler() => iser_create_ib_conn_res()
if we fail here, eventually iser_conn_release() is called, resulting
in a double free.

The iser connection teardown flow isn't over until the underlying
Connection Manager (e.g the IB CM) delivers a disconnected or timeout
event through the RDMA-CM. When the remote (target) side isn't
reachable, e.g when some HW e.g port/hca/switch isn't functioning or
taken down administratively, the CM timeout flow is used and the event
may be generated only after relatively long time -- on the order of
tens of seconds.
The current iser code exposes this possibly long delay to higher
layers, specifically to the iscsid daemon and iscsi kernel stack. As a
result, the iscsi stack doesn't respond well: this low-level CM delay
is added to the fail-over time under HA schemes such as the one
provided by DM multipath through the multipathd(8) service.
This patch enhances the reference counting scheme on iser's IB
connections so that the disconnect flow initiated by iscsid from user
space (ep_disconnect) doesn't wait for the CM to deliver the
disconnect/timeout event. (The connection teardown isn't done from
iser's view point until the event is delivered)
The iser ib (rdma) connection object is destroyed when its reference
count reaches zero. When this happens on the RDMA-CM callback
context, extra care is taken so that the RDMA-CM does the actual
destroying of the associated ID, since doing it in the callback is
prohibited.
The reference count of iser ib connection normally reaches three,
where the <ref, deref> relations are
1. conn <init, terminate>
2. conn <bind, stop/destroy>
3. cma id <create, disconnect/error/timeout callbacks>
With this patch, multipath fail-over time is about 30 seconds, while
without this patch, multipath fail-over time is about 130 seconds.

The iscsi connection object life cycle includes binding and unbinding
(conn_stop) to/from the iscsi transport connection object. Since
iscsi connection objects are recycled, at the time the transport
connection (e.g iser's IB connection) is released, it is not valid to
touch the iscsi connection tied to the transport back-pointer since it
may already point to a different transport connection.

Several RDMA user-access drivers have file_operations structures with
no .llseek method set. None of the drivers actually do anything with
f_pos, so this means llseek is essentially a NOP, instead of returning
an error as leaving other file_operations methods unimplemented would
do. This is mostly harmless, except that a NULL .llseek means that
default_llseek() is used, and this function grabs the BKL, which we
would like to avoid.
Since llseek does nothing useful on these files, we would like it to
return an error to userspace instead of silently grabbing the BKL and
succeeding. For nearly all of the file types, we take the
belt-and-suspenders approach of setting the .llseek method to
no_llseek and also calling nonseekable_open(); the exception is the
uverbs_event files, which are created with anon_inode_getfile(), which
already sets f_mode the same way as nonseekable_open() would.
This work is motivated by Arnd Bergmann's bkl-removal tree.

When manually assigning the path records to use for a connection, save
the number of paths that were set. Otherwise, checks against num_path
will show 0, even though path record data is available.
This was discovered by manually setting the path records from user
space, then querying the kernel to see if the correct path records
were assigned, only to discover that the kernel returned 0 path
records to the query.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Finally this bit can be removed. Currently, after the bonding driver is
changed/fixed (32a806c194ea112cfab00f558482dd97bee5e44e net-next-2.6),
that's not possible for an addr with different length than dev->addr_len
to be present in list. Removing this check as in new mc_list there will be

The IPoIB UD QP reports send completions to priv->send_cq, which is
usually left unarmed; it only gets armed when the number of
outstanding send requests reaches the size of the TX queue. This
arming is done only in the send path for the UD QP. However, when
sending CM packets, the net queue may be stopped for the same reasons
but no measures are taken to recover the UD path from a lockup.
Consider this scenario: a host sends high rate of both CM and UD
packets, with a TX queue length of N. If at some time the number of
outstanding UD packets is more than N/2 and the overall outstanding
packets is N-1, and CM sends a packet (making the number of
outstanding sends equal N), the TX queue will be stopped. When all
the CM packets complete, the number of outstanding packets will still
be higher than N/2 so the TX queue will not be restarted.
Fix this by calling ib_req_notify_cq() when the queue is stopped in
the CM path.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing
