      IB/core: Re-enable create_flow/destroy_flow uverbs · 69ad5da4
      Matan Barak authored 
      This commit reverts commit 7afbddfa ("IB/core: Temporarily disable
create_flow/destroy_flow uverbs").  Since the uverbs extensions
functionality was experimental for v3.12, this patch re-enables the
support for them and flow-steering for v3.13.

      IB/core: extended command: an improved infrastructure for uverbs commands · f21519b2
      Yann Droneaud authored 
      Commit 400dbc96 ("IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs
commands") added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands
while later commit 436f2ad0 ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow
through uverbs") exported ib_create_flow()/ib_destroy_flow() functions
using this new infrastructure.

According to the commit 400dbc96, the purpose of this
infrastructure is to support passing around provider (eg. hardware)
specific buffers when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that
it would be possible to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently
from the provider buffers.

But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified to
take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by Roland
Dreier in a previous review[1].

So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command
infrastructure.

This improved extensible command infrastructure distinguish between
core (eg. legacy)'s command/response buffers from provider
(eg. hardware)'s command/response buffers: each extended command
implementing function is given a struct ib_udata to hold core
(eg. uverbs) input and output buffers, and another struct ib_udata to
hold the hw (eg. provider) input and output buffers.

Having those buffers identified separately make it easier to increase
one buffer to support extension without having to add some code to
guess the exact size of each command/response parts: This should make
the extended functions more reliable.

Additionally, instead of relying on command identifier being greater
than IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD, the proposed infrastructure rely on
unused bits in command field: on the 32 bits provided by command
field, only 6 bits are really needed to encode the identifier of
commands currently supported by the kernel. (Even using only 6 bits
leaves room for about 23 new commands).

So this patch makes use of some high order bits in command field to
store flags, leaving enough room for more command identifiers than one
will ever need (eg. 256).

The new flags are used to specify if the command should be processed
as an extended one or a legacy one. While designing the new command
format, care was taken to make usage of flags itself extensible.

Using high order bits of the commands field ensure that newer
libibverbs on older kernel will properly fail when trying to call
extended commands. On the other hand, older libibverbs on newer kernel
will never be able to issue calls to extended commands.

The extended command header includes the optional response pointer so
that output buffer length and output buffer pointer are located
together in the command, allowing proper parameters checking. This
should make implementing functions easier and safer.

Additionally the extended header ensure 64bits alignment, while making
all sizes multiple of 8 bytes, extending the maximum buffer size:

                             legacy      extended

   Maximum command buffer:  256KBytes   1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
  Maximum response buffer:  256KBytes   1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)

For the purpose of doing proper buffer size accounting, the headers
size are no more taken in account in "in_words".

One of the odds of the current extensible infrastructure, reading
twice the "legacy" command header, is fixed by removing the "legacy"
command header from the extended command header: they are processed as
two different parts of the command: memory is read once and
information are not duplicated: it's making clear that's an extended
command scheme and not a different command scheme.

The proposed scheme will format input (command) and output (response)
buffers this way:

- command:

  legacy header +
  extended header +
  command data (core + hw):

    +----------------------------------------+
    | flags     |   00      00    |  command |
    |        in_words    |   out_words       |
    +----------------------------------------+
    |                 response               |
    |                 response               |
    | provider_in_words | provider_out_words |
    |                 padding                |
    +----------------------------------------+
    |                                        |
    .              <uverbs input>            .
    .              (in_words * 8)            .
    |                                        |
    +----------------------------------------+
    |                                        |
    .             <provider input>           .
    .          (provider_in_words * 8)       .
    |                                        |
    +----------------------------------------+

- response, if present:

    +----------------------------------------+
    |                                        |
    .          <uverbs output space>         .
    .             (out_words * 8)            .
    |                                        |
    +----------------------------------------+
    |                                        |
    .         <provider output space>        .
    .         (provider_out_words * 8)       .
    |                                        |
    +----------------------------------------+

The overall design is to ensure that the extensible infrastructure is
itself extensible while begin more reliable with more input and bound
checking.

Note:

The unused field in the extended header would be perfect candidate to
hold the command "comp_mask" (eg. bit field used to handle
compatibility).  This was suggested by Roland Dreier in a previous
review[2].  But "comp_mask" field is likely to be present in the uverb
input and/or provider input, likewise for the response, as noted by
Matan Barak[3], so it doesn't make sense to put "comp_mask" in the
header.

      IB/core: Remove ib_uverbs_flow_spec structure from userspace · 2490f20b
      Yann Droneaud authored 
      The structure holding any types of flow_spec is of no use to
userspace.  It would be wrong for userspace to do:

  struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec flow_spec;

  flow_spec.type = IB_FLOW_SPEC_TCP;
  flow_spec.size = sizeof(flow_spec);

Instead, userspace should use the dedicated flow_spec structure for
  - Ethernet : struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_eth,
  - IPv4     : struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_ipv4,
  - TCP/UDP  : struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_tcp_udp.

In other words, struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec is a "virtual" data
structure that can only be use by the kernel as an alias to the other.

      IB/core: Make uverbs flow structure use names like verbs ones · b68c9560
      Yann Droneaud authored 
      This patch adds "flow" prefix to most of data structure added as part
of commit 436f2ad0 ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow through
uverbs") to keep those names in sync with the data structures added in
commit 319a441d ("IB/core: Add receive flow steering support").

It's just a matter of translating 'ib_flow' to 'ib_uverbs_flow'.

      Yann Droneaud authored 
      Commit 436f2ad0 ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow through

steering.  The new structs are not following the 'uverbs' pattern:
they're lacking the common prefix 'ib_uverbs'.

This patch replaces ib_kern prefix by ib_uverbs.

      This patch fixes the following issues:

1. Unneeded checks were removed

2. Removed the fixed size out of flow_attr.size, thus simplifying the checks.

3. Remove a 32bit hole on 64bit systems with strict alignment in
   struct ib_kern_flow_att by adding a reserved field.

      RDMA/ucma: Discard events for IDs not yet claimed by user space · c6b21824
      Sean Hefty authored 
      Problem reported by Avneesh Pant <avneesh.pant@oracle.com>:

    It looks like we are triggering a bug in RDMA CM/UCM interaction.
    The bug specifically hits when we have an incoming connection
    request and the connecting process dies BEFORE the passive end of
    the connection can process the request i.e. it does not call
    rdma_get_cm_event() to retrieve the initial connection event.  We
    were able to triage this further and have some additional
    information now.

    In the example below when P1 dies after issuing a connect request
    as the CM id is being destroyed all outstanding connects (to P2)
    are sent a reject message. We see this reject message being
    received on the passive end and the appropriate CM ID created for
    the initial connection message being retrieved in cm_match_req().
    The problem is in the ucma_event_handler() code when this reject
    message is delivered to it and the initial connect message itself
    HAS NOT been delivered to the client. In fact the client has not
    even called rdma_cm_get_event() at this stage so we haven't
    allocated a new ctx in ucma_get_event() and updated the new
    connection CM_ID to point to the new UCMA context.

    This results in the reject message not being dropped in
    ucma_event_handler() for the new connection request as the
    (if (!ctx->uid)) block is skipped since the ctx it refers to is
    the listen CM id context which does have a valid UID associated
    with it (I believe the new CMID for the connection initially
    uses the listen CMID -> context when it is created in
    cma_new_conn_id). Thus the assumption that new events for a
    connection can get dropped in ucma_event_handler() is incorrect
    IF the initial connect request has not been retrieved in the
    first case. We end up getting a CM Reject event on the listen CM
    ID and our upper layer code asserts (in fact this event does not
    even have the listen_id set as that only gets set up librdmacm
    for connect requests).

The solution is to verify that the cm_id being reported in the event
is the same as the cm_id referenced by the ucma context.  A mismatch
indicates that the ucma context corresponds to the listen.  This fix
was validated by using a modified version of librdmacm that was able
to verify the problem and see that the reject message was indeed
dropped after this patch was applied.
