CM REQs cannot be successfully retried, because a new pv_cm_id is created for each request, without checking if one already exists. By checking if an id exists before creating one, the bug is fixed. This bug can be provoked by running an RDMA CM user-land application, but inserting a five seconds delay before the rdma_accept() call on the passive side. This delay is larger than the default CMA timeout, and triggers a retry from the active side. The retried REQ will use another pv_cm_id (the cm_id on the wire). This confuses the CM protocol and two REJs are sent from the passive side. Here is an excerpt from ibdump running without the patch: 3.285092 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello) 7.382711 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello) 7.382861 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 InfiniBand 290 CM: ConnectReject 7.387644 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 InfiniBand 290 CM: ConnectReject and here is the same with bug fix applied: 3.251010 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello) 7.349387 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello) 8.258443 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 SDP 290 CM: ConnectReply(SDP Hello) 8.259890 LID: 4 -> LID: 4 InfiniBand 290 CM: ReadyToUse Suggested-by: Venkat Venkatsubra <venkat.x.venkatsubra@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Håkon Bugge <haakon.bugge@oracle.com> Reported-by: Wei Lin Guay <wei.lin.guay@oracle.com> Tested-by: Wei Lin Guay <wei.lin.guay@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Yuval Shaia <yuval.shaia@oracle.com> Acked-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>

Kaike Wan authored
Current computation of qp->timeout_jiffies in rvt_modify_qp() will cause overflow due to the fact that the input to the function usecs_to_jiffies is only 32-bit ( unsigned int). Overflow will occur when attr->timeout is equal to or greater than 30. The consequence is unnecessarily excessive retry and thus degradation of the system performance. This patch fixes the problem by limiting the input to 5-bit and calling usecs_to_jiffies() before multiplying the scaling factor.

While invoking the req_notify_cq hook, ULPs can request whether the CQs have any CQEs pending. If CQEs are pending, drivers can indicate it by returning 1 for req_notify_cq. The stack will poll CQ again till CQ is empty. This patch peeks the CQ for any valid entries and return accordingly.

There's a couple of bugs in the support of max_rd_atomic and max_dest_rd_atomic. In the modify_qp, if the requested max_rd_atomic, which is the ORRQ size, is greater than what the chip can support, then we have to cap the request to chip max as we can't have the HW overflow the ORRQ. Capping the max_rd_atomic support internally is okay to do as the remaining read/atomic WRs will still be sitting in the SQ. However, for the max_dest_rd_atomic, the driver has to error out as this dictates the IRRQ size and we can't control what the remote side sends.

In case of PF, FW reserves 129 QPs for creating QP1s of VFs and PF. So the max_qp value reported by FW for PF doesn'tt include the QP1. Fixing this issue by adding 1 with the value reported by FW.

This fix is added only to avoid system crash in some a specific scenario. When bnxt_re driver is loaded and if user tries to change interface mac address, delete GID fails because QP1 is still associated with existing MAC (default GID). If the above command fails GID tables are not modified in the h/w or driver, but the GID context memory is freed. Now, if the user changes the mac back to the original value, another add_gid comes to the driver where the driver reports that the GID is already present in its table and tries to access the context which was already freed. So, in this case, in order to avoid NULL pointer de-reference, this patch removes the context memory free if delete_gid fails and the same context memory is re-used in new add_gid. Memory cleanup will be taken care during driver unload, while deleting the GID table.

Playing with IP-O-IB interface can trigger a warning message: "ib0: Failed to modify QP to ERROR state" to be logged. This happens when the QP is in IB_QPS_RESET state and the stack is trying to transition it to IB_QPS_ERR state in ipoib_ib_dev_stop(). According to the IB spec, Table 91 - "QP State Transition Properties" it looks like the transition from reset to error is valid: Transition: Any State to Error Required Attributes: None Optional Attributes: None allowed Actions: Queue processing is stopped. Work Requests pending or in process are completed in error, when possible. This patch allows the transition and quiets the message.

This will lead to a kernel panic when the destructor dereferences the QP. The operation of incrementing QP ref count at rxe_send and decrementing from skb destructor will prevent this crash.

Currently the RoCE GID management uses the ib_wq to do add and delete new GIDs according to the netdev events. The ib_wq isn't an ordered workqueue and thus two work elements can be executed concurrently which will result in unexpected behavior and inconsistency of the GIDs cache content. Example: ifconfig eth1 11.11.11.11/16 up This command will invoke the following netdev events in the following order: 1. NETDEV_UP 2. NETDEV_DOWN 3. NETDEV_UP If (2) and (3) will be executed concurrently or in reverse order, instead of having a new GID with 11.11.11.11 IP, we will end up without any new GIDs.
