* RDS: have sockets get transport module referencesZach Brown2010-09-091-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | Right now there's nothing to stop the various paths that use rs->rs_transport from racing with rmmod and executing freed transport code. The simple fix is to have binding to a transport also hold a reference to the transport's module, removing this class of races. We already had an unused t_owner field which was set for the modular transports and which wasn't set for the built-in loop transport. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
* RDS: Track transports via an array, not a listAndy Grover2009-08-241-10/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that transports can be loaded in arbitrary order, it is important for rds_trans_get_preferred() to look for them in a particular order, instead of walking the list until it finds a transport that works for a given address. Now, each transport registers for a specific transport slot, and these are ordered so that preferred transports come first, and then if they are not loaded, other transports are queried.

* RDS: Export symbols from core RDSAndy Grover2009-08-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Now that rdma and tcp transports will be modularized, we need to export a number of functions so they can call them. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* RDS: Transport codeAndy Grover2009-02-271-0/+117
RDS supports multiple transports. While this initial submission only supports Infiniband transport, this abstraction allows others to be added. We're working on an iWARP transport, and also see UDP over DCB as another possibility. This code handles transport registration.
