Commit a0417fa3a1 ("net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound
explicit.") made it possible for a netdev driver to use skb->cb
between its header_ops.create method and its .ndo_start_xmit
method. Use this in ipoib_hard_header() to stash away the LL address
(GID + QPN), instead of the "ipoib_pseudoheader" hack. This allows
IPoIB to stop lying about its hard_header_len, which will let us fix
the L2 check for GRO.

Reduce the number of dst_get_neighbour_noref() calls within a single
call chain. Primarily by passing the neighbour pointer down to the
helper functions.
Handle dst_get_neighbour_noref() returning NULL in ipoib_start_xmit()
by incrementing the dropped counter and freeing the packet. We don't
want it to fall through into the ARP/RARP/multicast handling, since
that should only happen when skb_dst() is NULL.

Coinciding with stack trace is the following message:
ib0: ib_address_create failed
The code below in ipoib_mcast_join_finish() will note the above
failure in the address handle but otherwise continue:
ah = ipoib_create_ah(dev, priv->pd, &av);
if (!ah) {
ipoib_warn(priv, "ib_address_create failed\n");
} else {
The while loop at the bottom of ipoib_mcast_join_finish() will attempt
to send queued multicast packets in mcast->pkt_queue and eventually
end up in ipoib_mcast_send():
if (!mcast->ah) {
if (skb_queue_len(&mcast->pkt_queue) < IPOIB_MAX_MCAST_QUEUE)
skb_queue_tail(&mcast->pkt_queue, skb);
else {
++dev->stats.tx_dropped;
dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
}
My read is that the code will requeue the packet and return to the
ipoib_mcast_join_finish() while loop and the stage is set for the
"hung" task diagnostic as the while loop never sees a non-NULL ah, and
will do nothing to resolve.
There are GFP_ATOMIC allocates in the provider routines, so this is
possible and should be dealt with.
The test that induced the failure is associated with a host SM on the
same server during a shutdown.
This patch causes ipoib_mcast_join_finish() to exit with an error
which will flush the queued mcast packets. Nothing is done to unwind
the QP attached state so that subsequent sends from above will retry
the join.

IPoIB can miss a change in destination GID under some conditions. The
problem is caused when ipoib_neigh->dgid contains a stale address.
The fix is to set ipoib_neigh->dgid to zero in ipoib_neigh_alloc().
This can happen when a system using bonding on its IPoIB interfaces
has switched its active interface from interface A to B and back to A.
The system that fails over will not correctly processes the 2nd
address change, as described below.
When an address has changed neighbor->ha is updated with the new
address. Each neighbor has an associated ipoib_neigh.
ipoib_neigh->dgid also holds a copy of the remote node's hardware
address. When an address changes neighbor->ha is updated by the
network layer (arp code) with the new address. IPoIB detects this
change in ipoib_start_xmit() by comparing neighbor->ha with
ipoib_neigh->dgid. The bug is that ipoib_neigh->dgid may already
contain the new address (A) thus the change from B to A is missed by
ipoib. Here is the sequence of events:
ipoib_neigh->dgid = A and neighbor->ha = A
The address is switched to B (the first switch)
neighbor->ha = B
The change is seen in ipoib_start_xmit() -- neighbor->ha !=
ipoib_neigh->dgid so ipoib_neigh is released, and a new one is
allocated.
The allocator may return the same chunk of memory that was just
released, therefore ipoib_neigh->dgid still contains A at this point.
ipoib_neigh->dgid should be updated in neigh_add_path(), but if the
following conditions are true dgid is not updated:
1) __path_find() returns a path
2) path->ah is NULL
The remote system now switches from address B to A, neighbor->ha is
updated to A.
Now we have again : ipoib_neigh->dgid = A and neighbor->ha = A
Since the addresses are the same ipoib won't process the change in
address. Fix this by zeroing out the dgid field when allocating a new
struct ipoib_neigh.

IPoIB currently must use irqsave locking for priv->lock, since it is
taken from interrupt context in one path. However, ipoib_send() does
skb_orphan(), and the network stack locking is not IRQ-safe.
Therefore we need to make sure we don't hold priv->lock when calling
ipoib_send() to avoid lockdep warnings (the code was almost certainly
safe in practice, since the only code path that takes priv->lock from
interrupt context would never call into the network stack).

If NAPI is enabled while IPoIB's CQ is being drained, it creates a

The solution is to enable/disable NAPI in ipoib_ib_dev_{open/stop}()
instead of in ipoib_{open/stop}(), and sync NAPI on the INITIALIZED
flag instead on the ADMIN_UP flag. This way NAPI will be disabled when
ipoib_drain_cq() is called.

If path_rec_start() returns error, call path_free() only if the path
was newly-created. If we free an existing path whose valid flag was zero,
(but do not detach it from the list) we cause corruption of the

The simplest solution is to not free an existing path -- just leave it
in the list as-is (i.e., with its valid flag cleared).

Fix bonding failover in the case both peers failover and the
gratuitous ARP is lost. In that case, the sender side will create an
ipoib_neigh and issue a path request with the old GID first. When
skb->dst->neighbour->ha changes due to ARP refresh, this ipoib_neigh
will not be added to the path->list of the path of the new GID,
because the ipoib_neigh already exists. It will not have an AH
either, because of sender-side failover. Therefore, it will not get
an AH when the path is resolved.
The solution here is to compare GIDs in ipoib_start_xmit() even if
neigh->ah is invalid. Comparing with an uninitialized value of
neigh->dgid should be fine, since a spurious match is harmless (and
astronomically unlikely too).

Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
Currently, IPoIB is an LLTX driver that uses its own IRQ-disabling
tx_lock. Not only do we want to get rid of LLTX, this actually causes
problems because of the skb_orphan() done with this tx_lock held: some
skb destructors expect to be run with interrupts enabled.
The simplest fix for this is to get rid of the driver-private tx_lock
and stop using LLTX. We kill off priv->tx_lock and use
netif_tx_lock[_bh]() instead; the patch to do this is a tiny bit
tricky because we need to update places that take priv->lock inside
the tx_lock to disable IRQs, rather than relying on tx_lock having
already disabled IRQs.
Also, there are a couple of places where we need to disable BHs to
make sure we have a consistent context to call netif_tx_lock() (since
we no longer can use _irqsave() variants), and we also have to change
ipoib_send_comp_handler() to call drain_tx_cq() through a timer rather
than directly, because ipoib_send_comp_handler() runs in interrupt
context and drain_tx_cq() must run in BH context so it can call
netif_tx_lock().

Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM
change events") changed how paths are flushed on an SM event. This
change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by
fails, causing path->ah to become NULL. A later successful path query
will then trigger WARN_ON() in path_rec_completion(), and crash
because path->ah has already been freed, so the ipoib_put_ah() inside
the lock in path_rec_completion() may actually drop the last reference
(contrary to the comment that claims this is safe).
Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path
record query is successful. This prevents the neighbour AH and that
path AH from getting out of sync.

Taking rtnl_lock in ipoib_mcast_join_complete() causes a deadlock with
ipoib_stop(). We avoid it by scheduling the piece of code that takes
the lock on ipoib_workqueue instead of executing it directly. This
works because we only flush the ipoib_workqueue with the RTNL not held.
The deadlock happens because ipoib_stop() calls ipoib_ib_dev_down()
which calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(), which calls ipoib_mcast_free(),
which calls ipoib_mcast_leave(). The latter calls
ib_sa_free_multicast(), and this waits until the multicast completion
handler finishes. This handler is ipoib_mcast_join_complete(), which
waits for the rtnl_lock(), which was already taken by ipoib_stop().

The patch tries to solve the problem of device going down and paths being
flushed on an SM change event. The method is to mark the paths as candidates for
refresh (by setting the new valid flag to 0), and wait for an ARP
probe a new path record query.
The solution requires a different and less intrusive handling of SM
change event. For that, the second argument of the flush function
changes its meaning from a boolean flag to a level. In most cases, SM
failover doesn't cause LID change so traffic won't stop. In the rare
cases of LID change, the remote host (the one that hadn't changed its
LID) will lose connectivity until paths are refreshed. This is no
worse than the current state. In fact, preventing the device from
going down saves packets that otherwise would be lost.

Add "ipoib_use_lro" module parameter to enable LRO and an
"ipoib_lro_max_aggr" module parameter to set the max number of packets
to be aggregated. Make LRO controllable and LRO statistics accessible
through ethtool.

The connected mode implementation in the IPoIB driver has a large
overhead in the way SKBs are handled in the receive flow. It usually
allocates an SKB with as big as was used in the currently received SKB
and moves unused fragments from the old SKB to the new one. This
involves a loop on all the remaining fragments and incurs overhead on
the CPU. This patch, for small SKBs, allocates an SKB just large
enough to contain the received data and copies to it the data from the
received SKB. The newly allocated SKB is passed to the stack and the
old SKB is reposted.
When running netperf, UDP small messages, without this pach I get:
UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
14.4.3.178 (14.4.3.178) port 0 AF_INET

With this patch I get both send and receive at ~315 mbps.
The reason that send performance actually slows down is as follows:
When using this patch, the overhead of the CPU for handling RX packets
is dramatically reduced. As a result, we do not experience RNR NAK
messages from the receiver which cause the connection to be closed and
reopened again; when the patch is not used, the receiver cannot handle
the packets fast enough so there is less time to post new buffers and
hence the mentioned RNR NACKs. So what happens is that the
application *thinks* it posted a certain number of packets for
transmission but these packets are flushed and do not really get
transmitted. Since the connection gets opened and closed many times,
each time netperf gets the CPU time that otherwise would have been
given to IPoIB to actually transmit the packets. This can be verified
when looking at the port counters -- the output of ifconfig and the
oputput of netperf (this is for the case without the patch):
tx packets
==========
port counter: 1,543,996
ifconfig: 1,581,426
netperf: 5,142,034
rx packets
==========
netperf 1,1304,089
