      rbd: reset BACKOFF if unable to re-queue · 588377d6
      Alex Elder authored
      If ceph_fault() is unable to queue work after a delay, it sets the
      BACKOFF connection flag so con_work() will attempt to do so.
      
      In con_work(), when BACKOFF is set, if queue_delayed_work() doesn't
      result in newly-queued work, it simply ignores this condition and
      proceeds as if no backoff delay were desired.  There are two
      problems with this--one of which is a bug.
      
      The first problem is simply that the intended behavior is to back
      off, and if we aren't able queue the work item to run after a delay
      we're not doing that.
      
      The only reason queue_delayed_work() won't queue work is if the
      provided work item is already queued.  In the messenger, this
      means that con_work() is already scheduled to be run again.  So
      if we simply set the BACKOFF flag again when this occurs, we know
      the next con_work() call will again attempt to hold off activity
      on the connection until after the delay.
      
      The second problem--the bug--is a leak of a reference count.  If
      queue_delayed_work() returns 0 in con_work(), con->ops->put() drops
      the connection reference held on entry to con_work().  However,
      processing is (was) allowed to continue, and at the end of the
      function a second con->ops->put() is called.
      
      This patch fixes both problems.
