RDMA/cma: Pass QP type into rdma_create_id()

2011-05-25T20:46:23+00:00

The RDMA CM currently infers the QP type from the port space selected
by the user.  In the future (eg with RDMA_PS_IB or XRC), there may not
be a 1-1 correspondence between port space and QP type.  For netlink
export of RDMA CM state, we want to export the QP type to userspace,
so it is cleaner to explicitly associate a QP type to an ID.

Modify rdma_create_id() to allow the user to specify the QP type, and
use it to make our selections of datagram versus connected mode.

IB/iser: Fix error flow in iser_create_ib_conn_res()

2010-05-12T16:30:45+00:00

We shouldn't free things here because we free them later.
The call tree looks like this:
	iser_connect() ==> initiating the connection establishment
and later
	iser_cma_handler() => iser_route_handler() => iser_create_ib_conn_res()
if we fail here, eventually iser_conn_release() is called, resulting
in a double free.

IB/iser: Enhance disconnection logic for multi-pathing

2010-05-12T16:30:44+00:00

The iser connection teardown flow isn't over until the underlying
Connection Manager (e.g the IB CM) delivers a disconnected or timeout
event through the RDMA-CM.  When the remote (target) side isn't
reachable, e.g when some HW e.g port/hca/switch isn't functioning or
taken down administratively, the CM timeout flow is used and the event
may be generated only after relatively long time -- on the order of
tens of seconds.

The current iser code exposes this possibly long delay to higher
layers, specifically to the iscsid daemon and iscsi kernel stack. As a
result, the iscsi stack doesn't respond well: this low-level CM delay
is added to the fail-over time under HA schemes such as the one
provided by DM multipath through the multipathd(8) service.

This patch enhances the reference counting scheme on iser's IB
connections so that the disconnect flow initiated by iscsid from user
space (ep_disconnect) doesn't wait for the CM to deliver the
disconnect/timeout event.  (The connection teardown isn't done from
iser's view point until the event is delivered)

The iser ib (rdma) connection object is destroyed when its reference
count reaches zero.  When this happens on the RDMA-CM callback
context, extra care is taken so that the RDMA-CM does the actual
destroying of the associated ID, since doing it in the callback is
prohibited.

The reference count of iser ib connection normally reaches three,
where the  relations are

 1. conn 
 2. conn 
 3. cma id 

With this patch, multipath fail-over time is about 30 seconds, while
without this patch, multipath fail-over time is about 130 seconds.

IB/iser: Remove buggy back-pointer setting

2010-05-12T16:30:44+00:00

The iscsi connection object life cycle includes binding and unbinding
(conn_stop) to/from the iscsi transport connection object.  Since
iscsi connection objects are recycled, at the time the transport
connection (e.g iser's IB connection) is released, it is not valid to
touch the iscsi connection tied to the transport back-pointer since it
may already point to a different transport connection.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
