RDMA/cma: Refactor the inbound/outbound path records process flow

2023-01-10T08:49:50+00:00

Refactors based on comments [1] of the multiple path records support patchset: - Return failure if not able to set inbound/outbound PRs; - Simplify the flow when receiving the PRs from netlink channel: When a good PR response is received, unpack it and call the path_query callback directly. This saves two memory allocations; - Define RDMA_PRIMARY_PATH_MAX_REC_NUM in a proper place.

RDMA/cma: Multiple path records support with netlink channel

2022-09-22T09:35:21+00:00

Support receiving inbound and outbound IB path records (along with GMP PathRecord) from user-space service through the RDMA netlink channel. The LIDs in these 3 PRs can be used in this way: 1. GMP PR: used as the standard local/remote LIDs; 2. DLID of outbound PR: Used as the "dlid" field for outbound traffic; 3. DLID of inbound PR: Used as the "dlid" field for outbound traffic in responder side. This is aimed to support adaptive routing. With current IB routing solution when a packet goes out it's assigned with a fixed DLID per target, meaning a fixed router will be used. The LIDs in inbound/outbound path records can be used to identify group of routers that allow communication with another subnet's entity. With them packets from an inter-subnet connection may travel through any router in the set to reach the target. As confirmed with Jason, when sending a netlink request, kernel uses LS_RESOLVE_PATH_USE_ALL so that the service knows kernel supports multiple PRs.

RDMA/core/sa_query: Remove unused function

2021-08-19T17:30:42+00:00

ib_sa_service_rec_query() was introduced in kernel v2.6.13 by commit cbae32c56314 ("[PATCH] IB: Add Service Record support to SA client") in 2005. It was not used then and have never been used since. Removing it and related functions/structs.

RDMA: Support more than 255 rdma ports

2021-03-26T12:31:21+00:00

Current code uses many different types when dealing with a port of a RDMA device: u8, unsigned int and u32. Switch to u32 to clean up the logic. This allows us to make (at least) the core view consistent and use the same type. Unfortunately not all places can be converted. Many uverbs functions expect port to be u8 so keep those places in order not to break UAPIs. HW/Spec defined values must also not be changed. With the switch to u32 we now can support devices with more than 255 ports. U32_MAX is reserved to make control logic a bit easier to deal with. As a device with U32_MAX ports probably isn't going to happen any time soon this seems like a non issue. When a device with more than 255 ports is created uverbs will report the RDMA device as having 255 ports as this is the max currently supported. The verbs interface is not changed yet because the IBTA spec limits the port size in too many places to be u8 and all applications that relies in verbs won't be able to cope with this change. At this stage, we are extending the interfaces that are using vendor channel solely Once the limitation is lifted mlx5 in switchdev mode will be able to have thousands of SFs created by the device. As the only instance of an RDMA device that reports more than 255 ports will be a representor device and it exposes itself as a RAW Ethernet only device CM/MAD/IPoIB and other ULPs aren't effected by this change and their sysfs/interfaces that are exposes to userspace can remain unchanged.

RDMA/ipoib: Remove racy Subnet Manager sendonly join checks

2021-02-16T18:42:58+00:00

When a system receives a REREG event from the SM, then the SM information in the kernel is marked as invalid and a request is sent to the SM to update the information. The SM information is invalid in that time period. However, receiving a REREG also occurs simultaneously in user space applications that are now trying to rejoin the multicast groups. Some of those may be sendonly multicast groups which are then failing. If the SM information is invalid then ib_sa_sendonly_fullmem_support() returns false. That is wrong because it just means that we do not know yet if the potentially new SM supports sendonly joins. Sendonly join was introduced in 2015 and all the Subnet managers have supported it ever since. So there is no point in checking if a subnet manager supports it. Should an old opensm get a request for a sendonly join then the request will fail. The code that is removed here accomodated that situation and fell back to a full join. Falling back to a full join is problematic in itself. The reason to use the sendonly join was to reduce the traffic on the Infiniband fabric otherwise one could have just stayed with the regular join. So this patch may cause users of very old opensms to discover that lots of traffic needlessly crosses their IB fabrics.

RDMA/core: Annotate timeout as unsigned long

2018-10-16T17:34:01+00:00

The ucma users supply timeout in u32 format, it means that any number with most significant bit set will be converted to negative value by various rdma_*, cma_* and sa_query functions, which treat timeout as int. In the lowest level, the timeout is converted back to be unsigned long. Remove this ambiguous conversion by updating all function signatures to receive unsigned long.

IB/cm: Replace members of sa_path_rec with 'struct sgid_attr *'

2018-06-25T20:19:57+00:00

While processing a path record entry in CM messages the associated GID attribute is now also supplied. Currently for RoCE a netdevice's net namespace pointer and ifindex are stored in path record entry. Both of these fields of the netdev can change anytime while processing CM messages. Additionally storing net namespace without holding reference will lead to use-after-free crash. Therefore it is removed. Netdevice information for RoCE is instead provided via referenced gid attribute in ib_cm requests. Such a design leads to a situation where the kernel can crash when the net pointer becomes invalid. However today it is always initialized to init_net, which cannot become invalid. In order to support processing packets in any arbitrary namespace of the received packet, it is necessary to avoid such conditions. This patch removes the dependency on the net pointer and ifindex; instead it will rely on SGID attribute which contains a pointer to netdev.

IB/cma: Resolve route only while receiving CM requests

2018-03-23T16:58:05+00:00

Currently CM request for RoCE follows following flow. rdma_create_id() rdma_resolve_addr() rdma_resolve_route() For RC QPs: rdma_connect() ->cma_connect_ib() ->ib_send_cm_req() ->cm_init_av_by_path() ->ib_init_ah_attr_from_path() For UD QPs: rdma_connect() ->cma_resolve_ib_udp() ->ib_send_cm_sidr_req() ->cm_init_av_by_path() ->ib_init_ah_attr_from_path() In both the flows, route is already resolved before sending CM requests. Therefore, code is refactored to avoid resolving route second time in ib_cm layer. ib_init_ah_attr_from_path() is extended to resolve route when it is not yet resolved for RoCE link layer. This is achieved by caller setting route_resolved field in path record whenever it has route already resolved. Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe
