From 7b4b000951f09cfe3604a6fdf5469894b4e75adb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "santosh.shilimkar@oracle.com" Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 22:13:21 -0400 Subject: RDS: fix rds-ping deadlock over TCP transport Sowmini found hang with rds-ping while testing RDS over TCP. Its a corner case and doesn't happen always. The issue is not reproducible with IB transport. Its clear from below dump why we see it with RDS TCP.

Commit db6526dcb51b ("RDS: use rds_send_xmit() state instead of RDS_LL_SEND_FULL") which was trying to opportunistically finish the send request in same thread context. But because of above recursive lock hang with RDS TCP, the send work from rds_send_pong() needs to deferred to worker to avoid lock up. Given RDS ping is more of connectivity test than performance critical path, its should be ok even for transport like IB.
