Subject: RDS: Fix the atomicity for congestion map update

From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

commit e47db94e10447fc467777a40302f2b393e9af2fa upstream.

Two different threads with different rds sockets may be in rds_recv_rcvbuf_delta() via receive path. If their ports both map to the same word in the congestion map, then using non-atomic ops to update it could cause the map to be incorrect. Lets use atomics to avoid such an issue.

Full credit to Wengang <[email protected]> for finding the issue, analysing it and also pointing out to offending code with spin lock based fix.
