[PATCH rdma-next 0/8] Cleanup and fix the CMA state machine

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx>

>From Jason:

The RDMA CMA continues to attract syzkaller bugs due to its somewhat loose
operation of its FSM. Audit and scrub the whole thing to follow modern
expectations.

Overall the design elements are broadly:

- The ULP entry points MUST NOT run in parallel with each other. The ULP
  is solely responsible for preventing this.

- If the ULP returns !0 from it's event callback it MUST guarentee that no
  other ULP threads are touching the cm_id or calling into any RDMA CM
  entry point.

- ULP entry points can sometimes run conurrently with handler callbacks,
  although it is tricky because there are many entry points that exist
  in the flow before the handler is registered.

- Some ULP entry points are called from the ULP event handler callback,
  under the handler_mutex. (however ucma never does this)

- state uses a weird double locking scheme, in most cases one should hold
  the handler_mutex. (It is somewhat unclear what exactly the spinlock is
  for)

- Reading the state without holding the spinlock should use READ_ONCE,
  even if the handler_mutex is held.

- There are certain states which are 'stable' under the handler_mutex,
  exit from that state requires also holding the handler_mutex. This
  explains why testing the test under only the handler_mutex makes sense.

Thanks
