LU-15234 lnet: Race on discovery queue
If the discovery thread clears the LNET_PEER_DISCOVERING bit then a
race window opens when the discovery thread drops the
lnet_peer.lp_lock spinlock and closes when the discovery thread
acquires the lnet_net_lock. If another thread queues the peer for
discovery during this window then the LNET_PEER_DISCOVERING bit is
added back to the peer state, but since the peer is already on the
lnet.ln_dc_working queue, it does not get added to the
lnet.ln_dc_request queue.
When the discovery thread acquires the lnet_net_lock/EX, it sees that
the LNET_PEER_DISCOVERING bit has not been cleared, so it does not
call lnet_peer_discovery_complete() which is responsible for sending
messages on the peer's discovery pending queue.
At this point, the peer is stuck on the lnet.ln_dc_working queue, and
messages may continue to accumulate on the peer's
lnet_peer.lp_dc_pendq.
Fix the issue by re-working the main discovery thread loop so that we
do not release the lnet_peer.lp_lock until after we've determined
whether we need to call lnet_peer_discovery_complete().
This ensures that the lnet_peer is correctly removed from the
discovery work queue and any messages on the peer's
lnet_peer.lp_dc_pendq are sent or finalized.
It is also possible for the lnet_peer.lp_dc_error to be cleared
during the aforementioned window, as well as during the time when
lnet_peer_discovery_complete() is processing the contents of the
lnet_peer.lp_dc_pendq. This could prevent messages on the
lnet_peer.lp_dc_pendq from being correctly finalized. To fix this
issue, the responsibilities of lnet_peer_discovery_error() were
incorporated into lnet_peer_discovery_complete().
