Vijay Immanuel 92cf36eec2 IB/rxe: support for 802.1q VLAN on the listener
Set the vlan flag and vlan_id field in the wc for rdma_listen()
to work over VLAN. This is required by ib_init_ah_attr_from_wc()
which is called by the CM REQ handler.

Doug Ledford f5e27a203f Merge branch 'k.o/for-rc' into k.o/wip/dl-for-next
Several items of conflict have arisen between the RDMA stack's for-rc
branch and upcoming for-next work:

9fd4350ba8 ("IB/rxe: avoid double kfree_skb") directly conflicts with
2e47350789 ("IB/rxe: optimize the function duplicate_request")

Patches already submitted by Intel for the hfi1 driver will fail to
apply cleanly without this merge

Other people on the mailing list have notified that their upcoming
patches also fail to apply cleanly without this merge

Zhu Yanjun 9fd4350ba8 IB/rxe: avoid double kfree_skb
When skb is sent, it will pass the following functions in soft roce.

rxe_send [rdma_rxe]
    ip_local_out
        __ip_local_out
        ip_output
            ip_finish_output
                ip_finish_output2
                    dev_queue_xmit
                        __dev_queue_xmit
                            dev_hard_start_xmit

In the above functions, if error occurs in the above functions or
iptables rules drop skb after ip_local_out, kfree_skb will be called.
So it is not necessary to call kfree_skb in soft roce module again.
Or else crash will occur.

The steps to reproduce:

     server                       client
    ---------                    ---------
    |1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2|
    ---------                    ---------

On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 10000 -S 512
On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 10000 -S 512

The kernel configs CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS are enabled on both server and client.

When rping runs, run the following command in server:

iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp  --dport 4791 -j DROP

Without this patch, crash will occur.

Zhu Yanjun 86af617641 IB/rxe: remove unnecessary skb_clone
In send_atomic_ack function, it is not necessary to make a
skb_clone. To gain better performance (high throughput and
low latency), this skb_clone is removed.

The following tests are made.

 server                       client
---------                    ---------
|1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2|
---------                    ---------

On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512
On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512

The kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is enabled on both server
and client.

This test runs for several hours. There is no memory leak and the whole
system can work well.

Based on the above network, the following tests are made.

Server: ibv_rc_pingpong -d rxe0 -g 1
Client: ibv_rc_pingpong -d rxe0 -g 1 1.1.1.1

The test results on Server(10 tests are made).
Before:
Throughput is 137.07 Mbit/sec
Latency is 517.76 usec/iter

After:
Throughput is 148.85 Mbit/sec
Latency is 476.64 usec/iter

The throughput is enhanced and the latency is reduced.

Bart Van Assche 65567e4121 RDMA/rxe: Fix a race condition in rxe_requester()
The rxe driver works as follows:
* The send queue, receive queue and completion queues are implemented as
  circular buffers.
* ib_post_send() and ib_post_recv() calls are serialized through a spinlock.
* Removing elements from various queues happens from tasklet
  context. Tasklets are guaranteed to run on at most one CPU. This serializes
  access to these queues. See also rxe_completer(), rxe_requester() and
  rxe_responder().
* rxe_completer() processes the skbs queued onto qp->resp_pkts.
* rxe_requester() handles the send queue (qp->sq.queue).
* rxe_responder() processes the skbs queued onto qp->req_pkts.

Since rxe_drain_req_pkts() processes qp->req_pkts, calling
rxe_drain_req_pkts() from rxe_requester() is racy. Hence this patch.

Kees Cook 4c93496f18 IB/rxe: do not copy extra stack memory to skb
This fixes a over-read condition detected by FORTIFY_SOURCE for this
line:

	memcpy(SKB_TO_PKT(skb), &ack_pkt, sizeof(skb->cb));

The error was:

Daniel Micay noted that struct rxe_pkt_info is 32 bytes on 32-bit
architectures, but skb->cb is still 64.  The memcpy() over-reads 32
bytes.  This fixes it by zeroing the unused bytes in skb->cb.

Johannes Thumshirn d52418502e IB/rxe: Don't clamp residual length to mtu
When reading a RDMA WRITE FIRST packet we copy the DMA length from the RDMA
header into the qp->resp.resid variable for later use. Later in check_rkey()
we clamp it to the MTU if the packet is an  RDMA WRITE packet and has a
residual length bigger than the MTU. Later in write_data_in() we subtract the
payload of the packet from the residual length. If the packet happens to have a
payload of exactly the MTU size we end up with a residual length of 0 despite
the packet not being the last in the conversation. When the next packet in the
conversation arrives, we don't have any residual length left and thus set the QP
into an error state.

This broke NVMe over Fabrics functionality over rdma_rxe.ko

The patch was verified using the following test.

 # echo eth0 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add

David Marchand 9fcd67d177 IB/rxe: increment msn only when completing a request
According to C9-147, MSN should only be incremented when the last packet of
a multi packet request has been received.

"Logically, the requester associates a sequential Send Sequence Number
(SSN) with each WQE posted to the send queue. The SSN bears a one-
to-one relationship to the MSN returned by the responder in each re-
sponse packet. Therefore, when the requester receives a response, it in-
terprets the MSN as representing the SSN of the most recent request
completed by the responder to determine which send WQE(s) can be
completed."

It might be possible for all of a QP's references to be dropped
while one of that QP's tasklets is running.

For example, the completer might run during QP destroy.
If qp->valid is false, it will drop all of the packets on
the resp_pkts list, potentially removing the last reference.
Then it tries to advance the SQ consumer pointer. If the
SQ's buffer has already been destroyed, the system will
panic.

To be safe, hold a reference on the QP for the duration
of each tasklet.

find_resource().

While here, use BTH_PSN_MASK to mask the calculated last_psn.

Andrew Boyer 2a7a85487e IB/rxe: Don't update the response PSN unless it's going forwards
A client might post a read followed by a send. The partner receives
and acknowledges both transactions, posting an RCQ entry for the
send, but something goes wrong with the read ACK. When the client
retries the read, the partner's responder processes the duplicate
read but incorrectly resets the PSN to the value preceding the
original send. When the duplicate send arrives, the responder cannot
tell that it is a duplicate, so the responder generates a duplicate
RCQ entry, confusing the client.

Parav Pandit e404f945a6 IB/rxe: improved debug prints & code cleanup
1. Debugging qp state transitions and qp errors in loopback and
multiple QP tests is difficult without qp numbers in debug logs.
This patch adds qp number to important debug logs.

2. Instead of having rxe: prefix in few logs and not having in
few logs, using uniform module name prefix using pr_fmt macro.

3. Code cleanup for various warnings reported by checkpatch for
incomplete unsigned data type, line over 80 characters, return
statements.

Parav Pandit b6bbee0d24 IB/rxe: Properly honor max IRD value for rd/atomic.
This patch honoris the max incoming read request count instead of
outgoing read req count
(a) during modify qp by allocating response queue metadata
(b) during incoming read request processing

Yonatan Cohen 908948877b IB/rxe: Fix duplicate atomic request handling
When handling ack for atomic opcodes like "fetch&add"
or "cmp&swp", the method send_atomic_ack() saves the ack
before sending it, in case it gets lost and never reach the
requester. In which case the method duplicate_request()
will need to find it using the duplicated request.psn.
But send_atomic_ack() used a wrong psn value and thus
the above ack was never found.
This fix uses the ack.psn to locate the ack in case
its needed.
This fix also copies the ack packet to the skb's control buffer
since duplicate_request() will need it when calling rxe_xmit_packet()

Moni Shoua 8700e3e7c4 Soft RoCE driver
Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver

ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core
device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO
layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack
as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and
receiving packets over any Ethernet device.  This yields a RDMA
transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2
compatible device.

The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires
binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with
/sys interface.

A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications
the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices.  The use of rxe verbs ins
user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics
plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.
