David Howells 2cfa227160 rxrpc: Fix the data_ready handler
Fix the rxrpc_data_ready() function to pick up all packets and to not miss
any.  There are two problems:

 (1) The sk_data_ready pointer on the UDP socket is set *after* it is
     bound.  This means that it's open for business before we're ready to
     dequeue packets and there's a tiny window exists in which a packet can
     sneak onto the receive queue, but we never know about it.

     Fix this by setting the pointers on the socket prior to binding it.

 (2) skb_recv_udp() will return an error (such as ENETUNREACH) if there was
     an error on the transmission side, even though we set the
     sk_error_report hook.  Because rxrpc_data_ready() returns immediately
     in such a case, it never actually removes its packet from the receive
     queue.

     Fix this by abstracting out the UDP dequeuing and checksumming into a
     separate function that keeps hammering on skb_recv_udp() until it
     returns -EAGAIN, passing the packets extracted to the remainder of the
     function.

and two potential problems:

 (3) It might be possible in some circumstances or in the future for
     packets to be being added to the UDP receive queue whilst rxrpc is
     running consuming them, so the data_ready() handler might get called
     less often than once per packet.

     Allow for this by fully draining the queue on each call as (2).

 (4) If a packet fails the checksum check, the code currently returns after
     discarding the packet without checking for more.

     Allow for this by fully draining the queue on each call as (2).

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.
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.
