commit 11b642b84e8c43e8597de031678d15c08dd057bc upstream.

This patch avoids that Coverity reports the following:

    Using uninitialized value port_attr.state when calling printk

Fixes: commit 94232d9ce817 ("IPoIB: Start multicast join process only on active ports")

<title>IB/ipoib: move back IB LL address into the hard header</title>

<id>fc791b6335152c5278dc4a4991bcb2d329f806f9</id>
<content type='text'>
After the commit 9207f9d45b0a ("net: preserve IP control block
during GSO segmentation"), the GSO CB and the IPoIB CB conflict.
That destroy the IPoIB address information cached there,
causing a severe performance regression, as better described here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=146787279825501&amp;w=2

This change moves the data cached by the IPoIB driver from the
skb control lock into the IPoIB hard header, as done before
the commit 936d7de3d736 ("IPoIB: Stop lying about hard_header_len
and use skb-&gt;cb to stash LL addresses").
In order to avoid GRO issue, on packet reception, the IPoIB driver
stash into the skb a dummy pseudo header, so that the received
packets have actually a hard header matching the declared length.
To avoid changing the connected mode maximum mtu, the allocated
head buffer size is increased by the pseudo header length.

After this commit, IPoIB performances are back to pre-regression
value.

v2 -&gt; v3: rebased
v1 -&gt; v2: avoid changing the max mtu, increasing the head buf size

Pull main rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is the main pull request for the rdma stack this release.  The
  code has been through 0day and I had it tagged for linux-next testing
  for a couple days.

  Summary:

   - updates to mlx5

   - updates to mlx4 (two conflicts, both minor and easily resolved)

   - updates to iw_cxgb4 (one conflict, not so obvious to resolve,
     proper resolution is to keep the code in cxgb4_main.c as it is in
     Linus' tree as attach_uld was refactored and moved into
     cxgb4_uld.c)

   - improvements to uAPI (moved vendor specific API elements to uAPI
     area)

   - add hns-roce driver and hns and hns-roce ACPI reset support

   - conversion of all rdma code away from deprecated
     create_singlethread_workqueue

   - security improvement: remove unsafe ib_get_dma_mr (breaks lustre in
     staging)"

* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (75 commits)

Avoid that mapping an sg-list in which the first element has a
non-zero offset triggers an infinite loop when using FMR. This
patch makes the FMR mapping code similar to that of ib_sg_to_pages().

Note: older Mellanox HCAs do not support non-zero offsets for FMR.

into an FMR").

In certain cases it's possible to be flooded by warning messages. To
cope with such situations make the ipoib_warn macro be ratelimited.
To prevent accidental limiting of legitimate, bursty messages make
the limit fairly liberal by allowing up to 100 messages in 10 seconds.

alloc_ordered_workqueue() with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set, replaces
deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue(). This is the identity
conversion.

The workqueue "wq" queues mulitple work items viz &amp;priv-&gt;restart_task,
&amp;priv-&gt;cm.rx_reap_task, &amp;priv-&gt;cm.skb_task, &amp;priv-&gt;neigh_reap_task,
&amp;priv-&gt;ah_reap_task, &amp;priv-&gt;mcast_task and &amp;priv-&gt;carrier_on_task.
The work items require strict execution ordering.
Hence, an ordered dedicated workqueue has been used.

WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to ensure forward progress under
memory pressure.

alloc_ordered_workqueue() replaces deprecated

The workqueue "ipoib_workqueue" that is used for all flush operations
for the device.

WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set since the flush operations may need to
complete in order for other network functions to continue, and
the memory reclaim operation might need the network functioning in
order to make progress.
