Both Bruce and Eryu ran a bisect here and found that the problematic
patch was 68778945e46 (SUNRPC: Separate buffer pointers for RPC Call and
Reply messages).

That patch changed rpc_xdr_encode to use a new rq_rbuffer pointer to
set up the receive buffer, but didn't change all of the necessary
codepaths to set it properly. In particular the backchannel setup was
missing.

We need to set rq_rbuffer whenever rq_buffer is set. Ensure that it is.

<title>sunrpc: fix write space race causing stalls</title>

Write space becoming available may race with putting the task to sleep
in xprt_wait_for_buffer_space().  The existing mechanism to avoid the
race does not work.

This (edited) partial trace illustrates the problem:

   [1] rpc_task_run_action: task:43546@5 ... action=call_transmit
   [2] xs_write_space &lt;-xs_tcp_write_space
   [3] xprt_write_space &lt;-xs_write_space
   [4] rpc_task_sleep: task:43546@5 ...
   [5] xs_write_space &lt;-xs_tcp_write_space

[1] Task 43546 runs but is out of write space.

[2] Space becomes available, xs_write_space() clears the
    SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit.

[3] xprt_write_space() attemts to wake xprt-&gt;snd_task (== 43546), but
    this has not yet been queued and the wake up is lost.

[4] xs_nospace() is called which calls xprt_wait_for_buffer_space()
    which queues task 43546.

[5] The call to sk-&gt;sk_write_space() at the end of xs_nospace() (which
    is supposed to handle the above race) does not call
    xprt_write_space() as the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit is clear and
    thus the task is not woken.

Fix the race by resetting the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit in xs_nospace()
so the second call to sk-&gt;sk_write_space() calls xprt_write_space().

xprtrdma needs to allocate the Call and Reply buffers separately.
TBH, the reliance on using a single buffer for the pair of XDR
buffers is transport implementation-specific.

Instead of passing just the rq_buffer into the buf_free method, pass
the task structure and let buf_free take care of freeing both
XDR buffers at once.

There's a micro-optimization here. In the common case, both
xprt_release and the transport's buf_free method were checking if
rq_buffer was NULL. Now the check is done only once per RPC.

xprtrdma needs to allocate the Call and Reply buffers separately.
TBH, the reliance on using a single buffer for the pair of XDR
buffers is transport implementation-specific.

Transports that want to allocate separate Call and Reply buffers
will ignore the "size" argument anyway.  Don't bother passing it.

The buf_alloc method can't return two pointers. Instead, make the
method's return value an error code, and set the rq_buffer pointer
in the method itself.

This gives call_allocate an opportunity to terminate an RPC instead
of looping forever when a permanent problem occurs. If a request is
just bogus, or the transport is in a state where it can't allocate
resources for any request, there needs to be a way to kill the RPC
right there and not loop.

This immediately fixes a rare problem in the backchannel send path,
which loops if the server happens to send a CB request whose
call+reply size is larger than a page (which it shouldn't do yet).

One more issue: looks like xprt_inject_disconnect was incorrectly
placed in the failure path in call_allocate. It needs to be in the
success path, as it is for other call-sites.

The commit f9b2ee714c5c ("SUNRPC: Move UDP receive data path
into a workqueue context"), as a side effect, moved the
skb_free_datagram() call outside the scope of the related socket
lock, but UDP sockets require such lock to be held for proper
memory accounting.
Fix it by replacing skb_free_datagram() with
skb_free_datagram_locked().

When the connect attempt fails and backs off, we should start the clock
at the last connection attempt, not time at which we queue up the
reconnect job.

<title>SUNRPC: disable the use of IPv6 temporary addresses.</title>

If the net.ipv6.conf.*.use_temp_addr sysctl is set to '2',
then TCP connections over IPv6 will prefer a 'private' source
address.
These eventually expire and become invalid, typically after a week,
but the time is configurable.

When the local address becomes invalid the client will not be able to
receive replies from the server.  Eventually the connection will timeout
or break and a new connection will be established, but this can take
half an hour (typically TCP connection break time).

RFC 4941, which describes private IPv6 addresses, acknowledges that some
applications might not work well with them and that the application may
explicitly a request non-temporary (i.e. "public") address.

I believe this is correct for SUNRPC clients.  Without this change, a
client will occasionally experience a long delay if private addresses
have been enabled.

The privacy offered by private addresses is of little value for an NFS
server which requires client authentication.

For NFSv3 this will often not be a problem because idle connections are
closed after 5 minutes.  For NFSv4 connections never go idle due to the
period RENEW (or equivalent) request.

<title>SUNRPC: Handle EADDRNOTAVAIL on connection failures</title>

If the connect attempt immediately fails with an EADDRNOTAVAIL error, then
that means our choice of source port number was bad.
This error is expected when we set the SO_REUSEPORT socket option and we
have 2 sockets sharing the same source and destination address and port
combinations.
