RDMA/core: Fix stale RoCE GIDs during netdev events at registration

2026-02-24T08:43:16+00:00

RoCE GID entries become stale when netdev properties change during the IB device registration window. This is reproducible with a udev rule that sets a MAC address when a VF netdev appears: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth4", \ RUN+="/sbin/ip link set eth4 address 88:22:33:44:55:66" After VF creation, show_gids displays GIDs derived from the original random MAC rather than the configured one. The root cause is a race between netdev event processing and device registration: CPU 0 (driver) CPU 1 (udev/workqueue) ────────────── ────────────────────── ib_register_device() ib_cache_setup_one() gid_table_setup_one() _gid_table_setup_one() ← GID table allocated rdma_roce_rescan_device() ← GIDs populated with OLD MAC ip link set eth4 addr NEW_MAC NETDEV_CHANGEADDR queued netdevice_event_work_handler() ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() ← Iterates DEVICE_REGISTERED ← Device NOT marked yet, SKIP! enable_device_and_get() xa_set_mark(DEVICE_REGISTERED) ← Too late, event was lost The netdev event handler uses ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() which only iterates devices marked DEVICE_REGISTERED. However, this mark is set late in the registration process, after the GID cache is already populated. Events arriving in this window are silently dropped. Fix this by introducing a new xarray mark DEVICE_GID_UPDATES that is set immediately after the GID table is allocated and initialized. Use the new mark in ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() function to iterate devices instead of DEVICE_REGISTERED. This is safe because: - After _gid_table_setup_one(), all required structures exist (port_data, immutable, cache.gid) - The GID table mutex serializes concurrent access between the initial rescan and event handlers - Event handlers correctly update stale GIDs even when racing with rescan - The mark is cleared in ib_cache_cleanup_one() before teardown This also fixes similar races for IP address events (inetaddr_event, inet6addr_event) which use the same enumeration path.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

IB/cache: update gid cache on client reregister event

2026-01-04T14:07:22+00:00

Some HCAs (e.g: ConnectX4) do not trigger a IB_EVENT_GID_CHANGE on subnet prefix update from SM (PortInfo). Since the commit d58c23c92548 ("IB/core: Only update PKEY and GID caches on respective events"), the GID cache is updated exclusively on IB_EVENT_GID_CHANGE. If this event is not emitted, the subnet prefix in the IPoIB interface’s hardware address remains set to its default value (0xfe80000000000000). Then rdma_bind_addr() failed because it relies on hardware address to find the port GID (subnet_prefix + port GUID). This patch fixes this issue by updating the GID cache on IB_EVENT_CLIENT_REREGISTER event (emitted on PortInfo::ClientReregister=1).

RDMA/core: Rate limit GID cache warning messages

2025-06-17T17:14:53+00:00

The GID cache warning messages can flood the kernel log when there are multiple failed attempts to add GIDs. This can happen when creating many virtual interfaces without having enough space for their GIDs in the GID table. Change pr_warn to pr_warn_ratelimited to prevent log flooding while still maintaining visibility of the issue.

Enhance visibility into IB device state transitions by adding log messages to the kernel log (dmesg).

IB/core: Fix ib_cache_setup_one error flow cleanup

2024-09-04T07:33:09+00:00

When ib_cache_update return an error, we exit ib_cache_setup_one instantly with no proper cleanup, even though before this we had already successfully done gid_table_setup_one, that results in the kernel WARN below. Do proper cleanup using gid_table_cleanup_one before returning the err in order to fix the issue.
