288379f050 net: Remove redundant NAPI functions
Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from
the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are
exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
therefore redundant.

3c20962086 IPoIB: Do not print error messages for multicast join retries
When IPoIB tries to join a multicast group, and the SA module's SM
address handle is NULL (because of an SM change, etc), the join
returns with -EAGAIN status.  In that case, don't print an error
message unless multicast debugging is enabled.

cbbe1efa49 IPoIB: Fix deadlock between ipoib_open() and child interface create
Fix a deadlock between child interface creation/deletion and ipoib
start/stop.  The former takes vlan_mutex, and then might take RTNL via
register_netdev()/unregister_netdev().  The latter is executed with
RTNL held, and tries to take vlan_mutex, which can lead to an AB-BA
deadlock.

Fix this by having the child interface creation/deletion code take the
RTNL first so vlan_mutex always nests inside RTNL.  We can use
register_netdevice() for child interfaces because we form the
interface name from the parent interface and hence don't need the '%'
expansion of register_netdev().

b8a1b1ce14 IPoIB: Fix hang in napi_disable() if P_Key is never found
After commit fe25c561 ("IPoIB: Don't enable NAPI when it's already
enabled"), if an interface is brought up but the corresponding P_Key
never appears, then ipoib_stop() will hang in napi_disable(), because
ipoib_open() returns before it does napi_enable().

Fix this by changing ipoib_open() to call napi_enable() even if the
P_Key isn't present.

50df48f59d IPoIB: Do not join broadcast group if interface is brought down
Because the ipoib_workqueue is not flushed when ipoib interface is
brought down, ipoib_mcast_join() may trigger a join to the broadcast
group after priv->broadcast was set to NULL (during cleanup).  This
will cause the system to be a member of the broadcast group when
interface is down.  As a side effect, this breaks the optimization of
setting the Q_key only when joining the broadcast group.

a50df398cd IPoIB: Fix loss of connectivity after bonding failover on both sides
Fix bonding failover in the case both peers failover and the
gratuitous ARP is lost.  In that case, the sender side will create an
ipoib_neigh and issue a path request with the old GID first.  When
skb->dst->neighbour->ha changes due to ARP refresh, this ipoib_neigh
will not be added to the path->list of the path of the new GID,
because the ipoib_neigh already exists.  It will not have an AH
either, because of sender-side failover.  Therefore, it will not get
an AH when the path is resolved.

The solution here is to compare GIDs in ipoib_start_xmit() even if
neigh->ah is invalid.  Comparing with an uninitialized value of
neigh->dgid should be fine, since a spurious match is harmless (and
astronomically unlikely too).

ff79ae8083 IPoIB: Fix crash in path_rec_completion()
Fix a crash in path_rec_completion() during an SM up/down loop.  If
more than one path record request is issued, the first completion
releases path->done, allowing ipoib_flush_paths() to free the path,
and thus corrupting it for the second completion.

Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM
change events") added the field path->valid and changed the test "if
(!path)" to "if (!path || !path->valid)".  This change made it
possible for a path with an outstanding query to pass the test and
issue another query on the same path.  Having two queries on the same
path leads to a crash.

fe25c56190 IPoIB: Don't enable NAPI when it's already enabled
If a P_Key is not present when an interface is created, ipoib_open()
will return after doing napi_enable().  ipoib_open() will be called
again from ipoib_pkey_poll() when the P_Key appears, after NAPI has
already been enabled, and try to enable it again. This triggers a
BUG_ON() in napi_enable().

943c246e9b IPoIB: Use netif_tx_lock() and get rid of private tx_lock, LLTX
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().

c9da4bad5b IPoIB: Fix crash when path record fails after path flush
Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM
change events") changed how paths are flushed on an SM event.  This
change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by
fails, causing path->ah to become NULL.  A later successful path query
will then trigger WARN_ON() in path_rec_completion(), and crash
because path->ah has already been freed, so the ipoib_put_ah() inside
the lock in path_rec_completion() may actually drop the last reference
(contrary to the comment that claims this is safe).

Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path
record query is successful.  This prevents the neighbour AH and that
path AH from getting out of sync.

This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194>

e8224e4b80 IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL between bcast join comp and ipoib_stop()
Taking rtnl_lock in ipoib_mcast_join_complete() causes a deadlock with
ipoib_stop().  We avoid it by scheduling the piece of code that takes
the lock on ipoib_workqueue instead of executing it directly.  This
works because we only flush the ipoib_workqueue with the RTNL not held.

The deadlock happens because ipoib_stop() calls ipoib_ib_dev_down()
which calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(), which calls ipoib_mcast_free(),
which calls ipoib_mcast_leave(). The latter calls
ib_sa_free_multicast(), and this waits until the multicast completion
handler finishes.  This handler is ipoib_mcast_join_complete(), which
waits for the rtnl_lock(), which was already taken by ipoib_stop().

This bug was introduced in commit a77a57a1 ("IPoIB: Fix deadlock on
RTNL in ipoib_stop()").

a77a57a1a2 IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL in ipoib_stop()
Commit c8c2afe3 ("IPoIB: Use rtnl lock/unlock when changing device
flags") added a call to rtnl_lock() in ipoib_mcast_join_task(), which
is run from the ipoib_workqueue.  However, ipoib_stop() (which is run
inside rtnl_lock()) flushes this workqueue, which leads to a deadlock
if the join task is pending.

Fix this by simply not flushing the workqueue from ipoib_stop().  It
turns out that we really don't care about workqueue tasks running
during or after ipoib_stop(), as long as we make sure to flush the
workqueue before unregistering a netdev.

This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1114>.

ee1e2c82c2 IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM change events
The patch tries to solve the problem of device going down and paths being
flushed on an SM change event. The method is to mark the paths as candidates for
refresh (by setting the new valid flag to 0), and wait for an ARP
probe a new path record query.

The solution requires a different and less intrusive handling of SM
change event. For that, the second argument of the flush function
changes its meaning from a boolean flag to a level.  In most cases, SM
failover doesn't cause LID change so traffic won't stop.  In the rare
cases of LID change, the remote host (the one that hadn't changed its
LID) will lose connectivity until paths are refreshed. This is no
worse than the current state.  In fact, preventing the device from
going down saves packets that otherwise would be lost.

a7d834c4bc IPoIB/cm: Fix racy use of receive WR/SGL in ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq()
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

f89271da32 IPoIB: Copy small received SKBs in connected mode
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
    14.4.3.178 (14.4.3.178) port 0 AF_INET

    114688           10.00     1130489            115.71

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
    netperf:        5,142,034

    rx packets
    ==========
    netperf         1,1304,089

e1d50dce5a IPoIB: Test for NULL broadcast object in ipiob_mcast_join_finish()
We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join
finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>.  The test
randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up.

The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen
just after ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() was invoked (in which case the
broadcast pointer is NULL).  This patch tests for and handles the case
where priv->broadcast is NULL.

57ce41d1d1 IB/ipoib: Fix transmit queue stalling forever
Commit f56bcd80 ("IPoIB: Use separate CQ for UD send completions")
introduced a bug where the transmit queue could get stopped and never
woken up.  The problem is that send completions are only polled at the
end of the xmit function, so if the send queue fills up and the xmit
path stops the queue, then there is no way for send completions to
ever get polled, and so the transmit queue stays stopped forever.

Fix this by arming the send CQ just before posting the last send
request that fills the send queue.  Then, when the completion event
handler is called, drain the send CQ.  Since it is possible that not
enough send completions are in the CQ, verify that the the net queue
has been woken up after draining the send CQ, and if not arm a timer
and drain again at the timer function.

b4132efa1a IPoIB: Copy child MTU from parent
When creating a child interface, copy the MTU information from the
parent.  Otherwise when the child's multicast join completes, the MTU
will not be updated since the code does

	dev->mtu = min(priv->mcast_mtu, priv->admin_mtu);

and priv->admin_mtu will be set to 0.

f56bcd8013 IPoIB: Use separate CQ for UD send completions
Use a dedicated CQ for UD send completions. Also, do not arm the UD
send CQ, which reduces the number of interrupts generated.  This patch
farther reduces overhead by not calling poll CQ for every posted send
WR -- it does polls only when there 16 or more outstanding work requests.

bc7b3a36ba IPoIB: Handle 4K IB MTU for UD (datagram) mode
This patch enables IPoIB to use 4K UD messages (when the underlying
device and fabrics support a 4K MTU) by using two scatter buffers when
PAGE_SIZE is less than or equal to thhe HCA IB MTU size.  The first
buffer is for IPoIB header + GRH header, and the second buffer is the
IPoIB payload, which is 4K-4.

9fdd5e5bf6 IPoIB: Handle case when P_Key is deleted and re-added at same index
If a P_Key is deleted and then re-added at the same index, then IPoIB
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.
