    dmaengine: idxd: add percpu_ref to descriptor submission path · 93a40a6d

    Current submission path has no way to restrict the submitter from
    stop submiting on shutdown path or wq disable path. This provides a way to
    quiesce the submission path.
    
    Modeling after 'struct reqeust_queue' usage of percpu_ref. One of the
    abilities of per_cpu reference counting is the ability to stop new
    references from being taken while awaiting outstanding references to be
    dropped. On wq shutdown, we want to block any new submissions to the kernel
    workqueue and quiesce before disabling. The percpu_ref allows us to block
    any new submissions and wait for any current submission calls to finish
    submitting to the workqueue.
    
    A percpu_ref is embedded in each idxd_wq context to allow control for
    individual wq. The wq->wq_active counter is elevated before calling
    movdir64b() or enqcmds() to submit a descriptor to the wq and dropped once
    the submission call completes. The function is gated by
    percpu_ref_tryget_live(). On shutdown with percpu_ref_kill() called, any
    new submission would be blocked from acquiring a ref and failed. Once all
    references are dropped for the wq, shutdown can continue.
