[ Upstream commit 333e4d79316c9ed5877d7aac8b8ed22efc74e96d ]

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.

<title>IB/core: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pkey cache</title>

[ Upstream commit 1901b91f99821955eac2bd48fe25ee983385dc00 ]

The IB core pkey cache is populated by procedure ib_cache_update().
Initially, the pkey cache pointer is NULL. ib_cache_update allocates a
buffer and populates it with the device's pkeys, via repeated calls to
procedure ib_query_pkey().

If there is a failure in populating the pkey buffer via ib_query_pkey(),
ib_cache_update does not replace the old pkey buffer cache with the
updated one -- it leaves the old cache as is.

Since initially the pkey buffer cache is NULL, when calling
ib_cache_update the first time, a failure in ib_query_pkey() will cause
the pkey buffer cache pointer to remain NULL.

In this situation, any calls subsequent to ib_get_cached_pkey(),
ib_find_cached_pkey(), or ib_find_cached_pkey_exact() will try to
dereference the NULL pkey cache pointer, causing a kernel panic.

Fix this by checking the ib_cache_update() return value.

<title>IB/core: Let IB core distribute cache update events</title>

[ Upstream commit 6b57cea9221b0247ad5111b348522625e489a8e4 ]

Currently when the low level driver notifies Pkey, GID, and port change
events they are notified to the registered handlers in the order they are
registered.

IB core and other ULPs such as IPoIB are interested in GID, LID, Pkey
change events.

Since all GID queries done by ULPs are serviced by IB core, and the IB
core deferes cache updates to a work queue, it is possible for other
clients to see stale cache data when they handle their own events.

For example, the below call tree shows how ipoib will call
rdma_query_gid() concurrently with the update to the cache sitting in the
WQ.

mlx5_ib_handle_event()
  ib_dispatch_event()
    ib_cache_event()
       queue_work() -&gt; slow cache update

    [..]
    ipoib_event()
     queue_work()
       [..]
       work handler
         ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light()
           __ipoib_ib_dev_flush()
              ipoib_dev_addr_changed_valid()
                rdma_query_gid() &lt;- Returns old GID, cache not updated.

Move all the event dispatch to a work queue so that the cache update is
always done before any clients are notified.

<title>IB/core, ipoib: Do not overreact to SM LID change event</title>
<updated>2019-05-07T19:06:03+00:00</updated>

<id>ba7d8117f3cca8eb70d579fde3f9ec8cd6a28f39</id>
<content type='text'>
When IPoIB receives an SM LID change event, it reacts by flushing its
path record cache and rejoining multicast groups. This is the same
behavior it performs when it receives a reregistration event. This
behavior is unnecessary as an SM may have database backup or
synchronization mechanisms which permit the SM location or LID to change
without loss of multicast membership and without impact to path records.

Both opensm and the OPA FM issue reregistration events if a new SM is
started (or restarted with a new config) or an SM event occurs which
results in loss of multicast membership records by the SM (such as
opensm failover) or the SM encounters new nodes with Active ports (such
as after joining 2 fabrics by connecting switches via ISLs). Hence this
event can be depended on as the trigger for IPoIB cache and multicast
flushing.

It appears that some drivers, such as qib, and hfi1 issue the
IB_EVENT_SM_CHANGE but other drivers such as mlx4 and mlx5 do not.
Empirical testing on Mellanox EDR using ibv_asyncwatch has confirmed
that Mellanox EDR HCAs do not generate SM change events and that opensm
does generate reregistration.

An SM LID change event is generated by the mentioned drivers to reflect
that sm_lid and/or sm_sl in the local port info has changed. The intent
of this event is to permit applications and ULPs which have a local copy
of this information (or an address handle using it) to update their
information.

The intent is that the reregistration event (caused by the SM via a bit
in Set(PortInfo)) be used to inform nodes that they need to rejoin
multicast groups, resubscribe for notices and potentially update path
records.

When an SM migrates or fails over, a SM LID change event can occur. In
response IPoIB discards path records and multicast membership and loses
connectivity until these records are restored via SA requests. In very
large fabrics, it may take minutes for the SM to be ready and for the SA
responses to be supplied.  This can result in undesirable and
unnecessary IPoIB connectivity impacts. It also can result in an
unnecessary storm of SA queries from all nodes in a cluster potentially
followed by yet another storm if the SM issues the reregistration
request.

The fact the Mellanox HCAs do not even generate this event, is further
evidence that on modern IB fabrics there will be no ill side effects
from the proposed changes below to reduce the reaction by 3 kernel
components to this event. So these changes should be benign for Mellanox
IB fabrics and will benefit OPA fabrics while also making ib_core and
ULP behavor "correct" as intended by the IBTA spec and kernel RDMA event
APIs.

Address these issues by removing IB_EVENT_SM_CHANGE handling from ipoib.
IPoIB does not locally store sm_lid nor sm_sl, so it does not need to do
anything on SM LID change. IPoIB makes use of other ib_core components
to issue SA requests for it and those components correctly track SM LID
and SM LID changes.

Also in ib_core multicast handling,  remove the test for
IB_EVENT_SM_CHANGE. This code is moving all multicast groups to the
error state, which will trigger rejoins. This code is used by IPoIB as
well as the connection manager and other clients of multicast groups.
This kernel module centralizes group membership status and joins since a
node can only join a given group once but multiple ULPs or applications
may want to join the same group. It makes use of the sa_query.c
component in ib_core, which correctly trackes SM LID and SL. This
component does not track SM LID nor SL itself and hence need not react
to their changes.

Similarly in the ib_core cache code remove the handling for the
IB_EVENT_SM_CHANGE.  In this function. The ib_cache_update function
which is ultimately called is updating local copies of the pkey table,
gid table and lmc. It does not update nor retain sm_lid nor sm_sl. As
such it does not need to be called on an SM LID change. It technically
also does not need to be called on a reregistration. The LID_CHANGE,
PKEY_CHANGE, GID_CHANGE and port state change events (PORT_ERR,
PORT_ACTICE) should be sufficient triggers.

It is worth noting that the alternative of simply having the hfi1 and
qib drivers not generate the SM LID change event was explored. While
this would duplicate what Mellanox drivers do now, it is not the correct
behavior and removes the ability for an SM to migrate without requiring
reregistration. Since both opensm and OPA SM have mechanisms to backup
or synchronize registration information, it is desirable to let them
perform SM migrations (with LID or SL changes) without requiring
reregistration when they deem it appropriate.

When there is active traffic through a GID, a QP/AH holds reference to

Therefore, while deleting RoCE GID, wait for all GID attribute's netdev

To access the netdevice of the GID attribute, use an existing API
rdma_read_gid_attr_ndev_rcu().

This further reduces dependency on open access to netdevice of GID
attribute.

<title>RDMA: Introduce and use GID attr helper to read RoCE L2 fields</title>

Instead of RoCE drivers figuring out vlan, smac fields while working on
QP/AH, provide a helper routine to read the L2 fields such as vlan_id and
source mac address.

This moves logic from mlx5 driver to core for wider usage for RoCE ports.

This is a preparation patch to allow detaching netdev in subsequent patch.

<title>IB/core: Allow vlan link local address based RoCE GIDs</title>

IPv6 link local address for a VLAN netdevice has nothing to do with its
resemblance with the default GID, because VLAN link local GID is in
different layer 2 domain.

Now that RoCE MAD packet processing and route resolution consider the
right GID index, there is no need for an unnecessary check which prevents
the addition of vlan based IPv6 link local GIDs.

The associated netdev should not actually be very dynamic, so for most
drivers there is no reason for a callback like this. Provide an API to
inform the core code about the net dev affiliation and use a core
maintained data structure instead.

This allows the core code to be more aware of the ndev relationship which
will allow some new APIs based around this.

This also uses locking that makes some kind of sense, many drivers had a
confusing RCU lock, or missing locking which isn't right.
