commit 1ee9e2aa7b31427303466776f455d43e5e3c9275 upstream.

Commit f0dc117abdfa ("IPoIB: Fix TX queue lockup with mixed UD/CM
traffic") attempts to solve an issue where unprocessed UD send
completions can deadlock the netdev.

The patch doesn't fully resolve the issue because if more than half
the tx_outstanding's were UD and all of the destinations are RC
reachable, arming the CQ doesn't solve the issue.

This patch uses the IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS on the
ib_req_notify_cq().  If the rc is above 0, the UD send cq completion
callback is called directly to re-arm the send completion timer.

This issue is seen in very large parallel filesystem deployments
and the patch has been shown to correct the issue.

commit bea1e22df494a729978e7f2c54f7bda328f74bc3 upstream.

Fix a crash in ipoib_mcast_join_task().  (with help from Or Gerlitz)

Commit c8c2afe360b7 ("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, and hence the workqueue can't be
flushed from the context of ipoib_stop().

In the current code, ipoib_stop() (which doesn't flush the workqueue)
calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(), which goes and deletes all the
multicast entries.  This takes place without any synchronization with
a possible running instance of ipoib_mcast_join_task() for the same
ipoib device, leading to a crash due to NULL pointer dereference.

Fix this by making sure that the workqueue is flushed before
ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() is called.  To make that possible, we move the
RTNL-lock wrapped code to ipoib_mcast_join_finish().

<title>IB: Change CQE "csum_ok" field to a bit flag</title>

<id>d927d505c59a0c7353343174e6225c43c61fba6d</id>
<content type='text'>
Use a bit in wc_flags rather then a whole integer to hold the
"checksum OK" flag.  By itself, this change doesn't reduce the size of
struct ib_wc on 64bit machines -- it stays on 56 bytes because of
padding.  However, it will allow to add more fields in the future
without enlarging the struct.  Also, it will let us have a unified
approach with future libibverbs checksum offload reporting, because a
bit flag doesn't break the library ABI.

This patch was suggested during conversation with Liran Liss
&lt;liranl@mellanox.com&gt;.

<title>IPoIB: Stop lying about hard_header_len and use skb-&gt;cb to stash LL addresses</title>

Commit a0417fa3a18a ("net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound
explicit.") made it possible for a netdev driver to use skb-&gt;cb
between its header_ops.create method and its .ndo_start_xmit
method.  Use this in ipoib_hard_header() to stash away the LL address
(GID + QPN), instead of the "ipoib_pseudoheader" hack.  This allows
IPoIB to stop lying about its hard_header_len, which will let us fix
the L2 check for GRO.

Reduce the number of dst_get_neighbour_noref() calls within a single
call chain.  Primarily by passing the neighbour pointer down to the
helper functions.

Handle dst_get_neighbour_noref() returning NULL in ipoib_start_xmit()
by incrementing the dropped counter and freeing the packet.  We don't
want it to fall through into the ARP/RARP/multicast handling, since
that should only happen when skb_dst() is NULL.
