x86: uv: XPC receive message reuse triggers invalid BUG_ON()
This was a difficult bug to trip. XPC was in the middle of sending an
acknowledgement for a received message.
In xpc_received_payload_uv():
.
ret = xpc_send_gru_msg(ch->sn.uv.cached_notify_gru_mq_desc, msg,
sizeof(struct xpc_notify_mq_msghdr_uv));
if (ret != xpSuccess)
XPC_DEACTIVATE_PARTITION(&xpc_partitions[ch->partid], ret);
msg->hdr.msg_slot_number += ch->remote_nentries;
at the point in xpc_send_gru_msg() where the hardware has dispatched the
acknowledgement, the remote side is able to reuse the message structure
and send a message with a different slot number. This problem is made
worse by interrupts.
The adjustment of msg_slot_number and the BUG_ON in
xpc_handle_notify_mq_msg_uv() which verifies the msg_slot_number is
consistent are only used for debug purposes. Since a fix for this that
preserves the debug functionality would either have to infringe upon the
payload or allocate another structure just for debug, I decided to remove
it entirely.
