Alexandru Moise 1661d3b0e2 nvmet,rxe: defer ip datagram sending to tasklet
This addresses 3 separate problems:

1. When using NVME over Fabrics we may end up sending IP
packets in interrupt context, we should defer this work
to a tasklet.

2. Work must always be offloaded to tasklet for rxe_post_send_kernel()
when using NVMEoF in order to solve lock ordering between neigh->ha_lock
seqlock and the nvme queue lock:

[   77.833783]  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
[   77.833783]
[   77.835831]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   77.837129]        ----                    ----
[   77.838313]   lock(&(&n->ha_lock)->seqcount);
[   77.839550]                                local_irq_disable();
[   77.841377]                                lock(&(&nvmeq->q_lock)->rlock);
[   77.843222]                                lock(&(&n->ha_lock)->seqcount);
[   77.845178]   <Interrupt>
[   77.846298]     lock(&(&nvmeq->q_lock)->rlock);
[   77.847986]
[   77.847986]  *** DEADLOCK ***

3. Same goes for the lock ordering between sch->q.lock and nvme queue lock:

[   47.634271]  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
[   47.634271]
[   47.636452]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   47.637861]        ----                    ----
[   47.639285]   lock(&(&sch->q.lock)->rlock);
[   47.640654]                                local_irq_disable();
[   47.642451]                                lock(&(&nvmeq->q_lock)->rlock);
[   47.644521]                                lock(&(&sch->q.lock)->rlock);
[   47.646480]   <Interrupt>
[   47.647263]     lock(&(&nvmeq->q_lock)->rlock);
[   47.648492]
[   47.648492]  *** DEADLOCK ***

Using NVMEoF after this patch seems to finally be stable, without it,
rxe eventually deadlocks the whole system and causes RCU stalls.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
