Ben Coddington has noted the following race between OPEN and CLOSE
on a single client.
Process 1 Process 2 Server
========= ========= ======
1) OPEN file
2) OPEN file
3) Process OPEN (1) seqid=1
4) Process OPEN (2) seqid=2
5) Reply OPEN (2)
6) Receive reply (2)
7) new stateid, seqid=2
8) CLOSE file, using
stateid w/ seqid=2
9) Reply OPEN (1)
10( Process CLOSE (8)
11) Reply CLOSE (8)
12) Forget stateid
file closed
13) Receive reply (7)
14) Forget stateid
file closed.
15) Receive reply (1).
16) New stateid seqid=1
is really the same
stateid that was
closed.
IOW: the reply to the first OPEN is delayed. Since "Process 2" does
not wait before closing the file, and it does not cache the closed
stateid, then when the delayed reply is finally received, it is treated
as setting up a new stateid by the client.
The fix is to ensure that the client processes the OPEN and CLOSE calls
in the same order in which the server processed them.
This commit ensures that we examine the seqid of the stateid
returned by OPEN. If it is a new stateid, we assume the seqid
must be equal to the value 1, and that each state transition
increments the seqid value by 1 (See RFC7530, Section 9.1.4.2,
and RFC5661, Section 8.2.2).
If the tracker sees that an OPEN returns with a seqid that is greater
than the cached seqid + 1, then it bumps a flag to ensure that the
caller waits for the RPCs carrying the missing seqids to complete.
Note that there can still be pathologies where the server crashes before
it can even send us the missing seqids. Since the OPEN call is still
holding a slot when it waits here, that could cause the recovery to
stall forever. To avoid that, we time out after a 5 second wait.

If the previous request on a slot was interrupted before it was
processed by the server, then our slot sequence number may be out of whack,
and so we try the next operation using the old sequence number.
The problem with this, is that not all servers check to see that the
client is replaying the same operations as previously when they decide
to go to the replay cache, and so instead of the expected error of
NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY, we get a replay of the old reply, which could
(if the operations match up) be mistaken by the client for a new reply.
To fix this, we attempt to send a COMPOUND containing only the SEQUENCE op
in order to resync our slot sequence number.

When an RPC Call includes a file data payload, that payload can come
from pages in the page cache, or a user buffer (for direct I/O).
If the payload can fit inline, xprtrdma includes it in the Send
using a scatter-gather technique. xprtrdma mustn't allow the RPC
consumer to re-use the memory where that payload resides before the
Send completes. Otherwise, the new contents of that memory would be
exposed by an HCA retransmit of the Send operation.
So, block RPC completion on Send completion, but only in the case
where a separate file data payload is part of the Send. This
prevents the reuse of that memory while it is still part of a Send
operation without an undue cost to other cases.
Waiting is avoided in the common case because typically the Send
will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives.
These days, an RPC timeout will trigger a disconnect, which tears
down the QP. The disconnect flushes all waiting Sends. This bounds
the amount of time the reply handler has to wait for a Send
completion.

Problem statement:
Recently Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> observed that kernel RDMA-
enabled storage initiators don't handle delayed Send completion
correctly. If Send completion is delayed beyond the end of a ULP
transaction, the ULP may release resources that are still being used
by the HCA to complete a long-running Send operation.
This is a common design trait amongst our initiators. Most Send
operations are faster than the ULP transaction they are part of.
Waiting for a completion for these is typically unnecessary.
Infrequently, a network partition or some other problem crops up
where an ordering problem can occur. In NFS parlance, the RPC Reply
arrives and completes the RPC, but the HCA is still retrying the
Send WR that conveyed the RPC Call. In this case, the HCA can try
to use memory that has been invalidated or DMA unmapped, and the
connection is lost. If that memory has been re-used for something
else (possibly not related to NFS), and the Send retransmission
exposes that data on the wire.
Thus we cannot assume that it is safe to release Send-related
resources just because a ULP reply has arrived.
After some analysis, we have determined that the completion
housekeeping will not be difficult for xprtrdma:
- Inline Send buffers are registered via the local DMA key, and
are already left DMA mapped for the lifetime of a transport
connection, thus no additional handling is necessary for those
- Gathered Sends involving page cache pages _will_ need to
DMA unmap those pages after the Send completes. But like
inline send buffers, they are registered via the local DMA key,
and thus will not need to be invalidated
In addition, RPC completion will need to wait for Send completion
in the latter case. However, nearly always, the Send that conveys
the RPC Call will have completed long before the RPC Reply
arrives, and thus no additional latency will be accrued.
Design notes:
In this patch, the rpcrdma_sendctx object is introduced, and a
lock-free circular queue is added to manage a set of them per
transport.
The RPC client's send path already prevents sending more than one
RPC Call at the same time. This allows us to treat the consumer
side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked) as if there is a
single consumer thread.
The producer side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked) is
invoked only from the Send completion handler, which is a single
thread of execution (soft IRQ).
The only care that needs to be taken is with the tail index, which
is shared between the producer and consumer. Only the producer
updates the tail index. The consumer compares the head with the
tail to ensure that the a sendctx that is in use is never handed
out again (or, expressed more conventionally, the queue is empty).
When the sendctx queue empties completely, there are enough Sends
outstanding that posting more Send operations can result in a Send
Queue overflow. In this case, the ULP is told to wait and try again.
This introduces strong Send Queue accounting to xprtrdma.
As a final touch, Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com>
suggested a mechanism that does not require signaling every Send.
We signal once every N Sends, and perform SGE unmapping of N Send
operations during that one completion.

In a subsequent patch, the Send SGE array will be separated from the

I noticed that the soft IRQ thread looked pretty busy under heavy
I/O workloads. perf suggested one area that was expensive was the
queue_work() call in rpcrdma_wc_receive. That gave me some ideas.
Instead of scheduling a separate worker to process RPC Replies,
promote the Receive completion handler to IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE, and
invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly.
Note that the poll workqueue is single-threaded. In order to keep
memory invalidation from serializing all RPC Replies, handle any
necessary invalidation tasks in a separate multi-threaded workqueue.
This provides a two-tier scheme, similar to OS I/O interrupt
handlers: A fast interrupt handler that schedules the slow handler
and re-enables the interrupt, and a slower handler that is invoked
for any needed heavy lifting.
Benefits include:
- One less context switch for RPCs that don't register memory
- Receive completion handling is moved out of soft IRQ context to
make room for other users of soft IRQ
- The same CPU core now DMA syncs and XDR decodes the Receive buffer
