Jason Gunthorpe c206f8bad1 RDMA/cm: Make it clearer how concurrency works in cm_req_handler()
ib_crate_cm_id() immediately places the id in the xarray, and publishes it
into the remote_id and remote_qpn rbtrees. This makes it visible to other
threads before it is fully set up.

It appears the thinking here was that the states IB_CM_IDLE and
IB_CM_REQ_RCVD do not allow any MAD handler or lookup in the remote_id and
remote_qpn rbtrees to advance.

However, cm_rej_handler() does take an action on IB_CM_REQ_RCVD, which is
not really expected by the design.

Make the whole thing clearer:
 - Keep the new cm_id out of the xarray until it is completely set up.
   This directly prevents MAD handlers and all rbtree lookups from seeing
   the pointer.
 - Move all the trivial setup right to the top so it is obviously done
   before any concurrency begins
 - Move the mutation of the cm_id_priv out of cm_match_id() and into the
   caller so the state transition is obvious
 - Place the manipulation of the work_list at the end, under lock, after
   the cm_id is placed in the xarray. The work_count cannot change on an
   ID outside the xarray.
 - Add some comments

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
