xprtrdma: Reset credit grant properly after a disconnect
On a fresh connection, an RPC/RDMA client is supposed to send only one RPC Call until it gets a credit grant in the first RPC Reply from the server [RFC 8166, Section 3.3.3]. There is a bug in the Linux client's credit accounting mechanism introduced by commit e7ce710a ("xprtrdma: Avoid deadlock when credit window is reset"). On connect, it simply dumps all pending RPC Calls onto the new connection. Servers have been tolerant of this bad behavior. Currently no server implementation ever changes its credit grant over reconnects, and servers always repost enough Receives before connections are fully established. To correct this issue, ensure that the client resets both the credit grant _and_ the congestion window when handling a reconnect. Fixes: e7ce710a ("xprtrdma: Avoid deadlock when credit ...
