    IB/ipoib: deserialize multicast joins · d2fe937c
    Doug Ledford authored
    Allow the ipoib layer to attempt to join all outstanding multicast
    groups at once.  The ib_sa layer will serialize multiple attempts to
    join the same group, but will process attempts to join different groups
    in parallel.  Take advantage of that.
    
    In order to make this happen, change the mcast_join_thread to loop
    through all needed joins, sending a join request for each one that we
    still need to join.  There are a few special cases we handle though:
    
    1) Don't attempt to join anything but the broadcast group until the join
    of the broadcast group has succeeded.
    2) No longer restart the join task at the end of completion handling.
    If we completed successfully, we are done.  The join task now needs kicked
    either by mcast_send or mcast_restart_task or mcast_start_thread, but
    should not need started anytime else except when scheduling a backoff
    attempt to rejoin.
    3) No longer use separate join/completion routines for regular and
    sendonly joins, pass them all through the same routine and just do the
    right thing based on the SENDONLY join flag.
    4) Only try to join a SENDONLY join twice, then drop the packets and
    quit trying.  We leave the mcast group in the list so that if we get a
    new packet, all that we have to do is queue up the packet and restart
    the join task and it will automatically try to join twice and then
    either send or flush the queue again.
