Commit b63b70d877 ("IPoIB: Use a private hash table for path lookup
in xmit path") introduced a bug where in ipoib_cm_destroy_tx() a CM
object is moved between lists without any supported locking. Under a
stress test, this eventually leads to list corruption and a crash.
Previously when this routine was called, callers were taking the
device priv lock. Currently this function is called from the RCU
callback associated with neighbour deletion. Fix the race by taking
the same lock we used to before.

Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net> provided a detailed description of
why the way IPoIB is using neighbours for its own ipoib_neigh struct
is buggy:
Any time an ipoib_neigh is changed, a sequence like the following is made:
spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags);
/*
* It's safe to call ipoib_put_ah() inside
* priv->lock here, because we know that
* path->ah will always hold one more reference,
* so ipoib_put_ah() will never do more than
* decrement the ref count.
*/
if (neigh->ah)
ipoib_put_ah(neigh->ah);
list_del(&neigh->list);
ipoib_neigh_free(dev, neigh);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags);
ipoib_path_lookup(skb, n, dev);
This doesn't work, because you're leaving a stale pointer to the freed up
ipoib_neigh in the special neigh->ha pointer cookie. Yes, it even fails
with all the locking done to protect _changes_ to *ipoib_neigh(n), and
with the code in ipoib_neigh_free() that NULLs out the pointer.
The core issue is that read side calls to *to_ipoib_neigh(n) are not
being synchronized at all, they are performed without any locking. So
whether we hold the lock or not when making changes to *ipoib_neigh(n)
you still can have threads see references to freed up ipoib_neigh
objects.
cpu 1 cpu 2
n = *ipoib_neigh()
*ipoib_neigh() = NULL
kfree(n)
n->foo == OOPS
[..]
Perhaps the ipoib code can have a private path database it manages
entirely itself, which holds all the necessary information and is
looked up by some generic key which is available easily at transmit
time and does not involve generic neighbour entries.
See <http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=132812793105624&w=2> and
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&w=2&r=1&s=allows+references+to+freed+memory&q=b>
for the full discussion.
This patch aims to solve the race conditions found in the IPoIB driver.
The patch removes the connection between the core networking neighbour
structure and the ipoib_neigh structure. In addition to avoiding the
race described above, it allows us to handle SKBs carrying IP packets
that don't have any associated neighbour.
We add an ipoib_neigh hash table with N buckets where the key is the
destination hardware address. The ipoib_neigh is fetched from the
hash table and instead of the stashed location in the neighbour
structure. The hash table uses both RCU and reference counting to
guarantee that no ipoib_neigh instance is ever deleted while in use.
Fetching the ipoib_neigh structure instance from the hash also makes
the special code in ipoib_start_xmit that handles remote and local
bonding failover redundant.
Aged ipoib_neigh instances are deleted by a garbage collection task
that runs every M seconds and deletes every ipoib_neigh instance that
was idle for at least 2*M seconds. The deletion is safe since the
ipoib_neigh instances are protected using RCU and reference count
mechanisms.
The number of buckets (N) and frequency of running the GC thread (M),
are taken from the exported arb_tbl.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information. This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here. Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The IPoIB UD QP reports send completions to priv->send_cq, which is
usually left unarmed; it only gets armed when the number of
outstanding send requests reaches the size of the TX queue. This
arming is done only in the send path for the UD QP. However, when
sending CM packets, the net queue may be stopped for the same reasons
but no measures are taken to recover the UD path from a lockup.
Consider this scenario: a host sends high rate of both CM and UD
packets, with a TX queue length of N. If at some time the number of
outstanding UD packets is more than N/2 and the overall outstanding
packets is N-1, and CM sends a packet (making the number of
outstanding sends equal N), the TX queue will be stopped. When all
the CM packets complete, the number of outstanding packets will still
be higher than N/2 so the TX queue will not be restarted.
Fix this by calling ib_req_notify_cq() when the queue is stopped in
the CM path.

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().

For devices that don't support SRQs, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() is
called from both ipoib_cm_handle_rx_wc() and ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx(),
and these two callers are not synchronized against each other.
However, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() always reuses the same receive
work request and scatter list structures, so multiple callers can end
up stepping on each other, which leads to posting garbled work
requests.
Fix this by having the caller pass in the ib_recv_wr and ib_sge
structures to use, and allocating new local structures in
ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx().

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

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

gets confused because __ipoib_ib_dev_flush() only checks whether the
index is the same without checking whether the P_Key was present, so
the interface is stopped when the P_Key is deleted, but the event when
the P_Key is re-added gets ignored and the interface never gets
restarted.
Also, switch to using ib_find_pkey() instead of ib_find_cached_pkey()
everywhere in IPoIB, since none of the places that look for P_Keys are
in a fast path or in non-sleeping context, and in general we want to
kill off the whole caching infrastructure eventually. This also fixes
consistency problems caused because some IPoIB queries were cached and
some were uncached during the window where the cache was not updated.
Thanks to Venkata Subramonyam <vsubramo@cisco.com> for debugging this
problem and testing this fix.

For HCAs that support TCP segmentation offload (IB_DEVICE_UD_TSO), set
NETIF_F_TSO and use HW LSO to offload TCP segmentation.

For HCAs that support checksum offload (ie that set IB_DEVICE_UD_IP_CSUM
in the device capabilities flags), have IPoIB set NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and
use the HCA to generate and verify IP checksums.

Commit 7143740d ("IPoIB: Add send gather support") made struct
ipoib_tx_buf significantly larger, since the mapping member changed
from a single u64 to an array with MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 entries. This
means that allocating tx_rings with kzalloc() may fail because there
is not enough contiguous memory for the new, much bigger size. Fix
this regression by allocating the rings with vmalloc() instead.

Commit 7143740d ("IPoIB: Add send gather support") made it possible
for tx_wr.num_sge to be != 1 -- this happens if send gather support is
enabled. However, the code in the connected mode post_send() function
assumes the old invariant, namely that tx_wr.num_sge is always 1. Fix
this by explicitly setting tx_wr.num_sge to 1 in the CM post_send().

Commit efcd9971 ("IPoIB/cm: Factor out ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list()")
introduced a bug in ipoib_cm_dev_stop() when the receive drain times
out. In that case, the function moves all the pending rx stuff into a
private list but then calls ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list(), which
handles a different list.
Fix this by moving everything to the rx_reap_list that will actually
get freed up.
This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906>.

This patch acts as a preparation for using checksum offload for IB
devices capable of inserting/verifying checksum in IP packets. The
patch does not actaully turn on NETIF_F_SG - we defer that to the
patches adding checksum offload capabilities.
We only add support for send gathers for datagram mode, since existing
HW does not support checksum offload on connected QPs.

Some HCAs (such as ehca2) support SRQ, but only support fewer than 16 SG
entries for SRQs. Currently IPoIB/CM implicitly assumes all HCAs will
support 16 SG entries for SRQs (to handle a 64K MTU with 4K pages). This
patch removes that restriction by limiting the maximum MTU in connected
mode to what the maximum number of SRQ SG entries allows.

Some IB adapters (notably IBM's eHCA) do not implement SRQs (shared
receive queues). The current IPoIB connected mode support only works
on devices that support SRQs.
Fix this by adding support for using the receive queue of each
connected mode receive QP. The disadvantage of this compared to using
an SRQ is that it means a full queue of receives must be posted for
each remote connected mode peer, which means that total memory usage
is potentially much higher than when using SRQs. To manage this, add
a new module parameter "max_nonsrq_conn_qp" that limits the number of
connections allowed per interface.
The rest of the changes are fairly straightforward: we use a table of
struct ipoib_cm_rx to hold all the active connections, and put the
table index of the connection in the high bits of receive WR IDs.
This is needed because we cannot rely on the struct ib_wc.qp field for
non-SRQ receive completions. Most of the rest of the changes just
test whether or not an SRQ is available, and post receives or find
received packets in the right place depending on the answer.
Cleaning up dead connections actually becomes simpler, because we do
not have to do the "last WQE reached" dance that is required to
destroy QPs attached to an SRQ. We just move the QP to the error
state and wait for all pending receives to be flushed.

Factor out the code for going through the rx_reap list of struct
ipoib_cm_rx and freeing each one. This consolidates the code
duplicated between ipoib_cm_dev_stop() and ipoib_cm_rx_reap() and
reduces the risk of error when adding additional accounting.

Factor out the code to create an SRQ and allocate the receive ring in
ipoib_cm_dev_init() into a new function ipoib_cm_create_srq(). This
will make the code neater when support for devices that don't implement
SRQs is added.
