<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=18fc25c94eadc52a42c025125af24657a93638c0'/>

<content type='text'>
After congestion update on a local connection, when rds_ib_xmit returns
less bytes than that are there in the message, rds_send_xmit calls
back rds_ib_xmit with an offset that causes BUG_ON(off &amp; RDS_FRAG_SIZE)
to trigger.

For a 4Kb PAGE_SIZE rds_ib_xmit returns min(8240,4096)=4096 when actually
the message contains 8240 bytes. rds_send_xmit thinks there is more to send
and calls rds_ib_xmit again with a data offset "off" of 4096-48(rds header)
=4048 bytes thus hitting the BUG_ON(off &amp; RDS_FRAG_SIZE) [RDS_FRAG_SIZE=4k].

The commit 6094628bfd94323fc1cea05ec2c6affd98c18f7f
"rds: prevent BUG_ON triggering on congestion map updates" introduced
this regression. That change was addressing the triggering of a different
BUG_ON in rds_send_xmit() on PowerPC architecture with 64Kbytes PAGE_SIZE:
 	BUG_ON(ret != 0 &amp;&amp;
    		 conn-&gt;c_xmit_sg == rm-&gt;data.op_nents);
This was the sequence it was going through:
(rds_ib_xmit)
/* Do not send cong updates to IB loopback */
if (conn-&gt;c_loopback
   &amp;&amp; rm-&gt;m_inc.i_hdr.h_flags &amp; RDS_FLAG_CONG_BITMAP) {
  	rds_cong_map_updated(conn-&gt;c_fcong, ~(u64) 0);
    	return sizeof(struct rds_header) + RDS_CONG_MAP_BYTES;
}
rds_ib_xmit returns 8240
rds_send_xmit:
  c_xmit_data_off = 0 + 8240 - 48 (rds header accounted only the first time)
   		 = 8192
  c_xmit_data_off &lt; 65536 (sg-&gt;length), so calls rds_ib_xmit again
rds_ib_xmit returns 8240
rds_send_xmit:
  c_xmit_data_off = 8192 + 8240 = 16432, calls rds_ib_xmit again
  and so on (c_xmit_data_off 24672,32912,41152,49392,57632)
rds_ib_xmit returns 8240
On this iteration this sequence causes the BUG_ON in rds_send_xmit:
    while (ret) {
    	tmp = min_t(int, ret, sg-&gt;length - conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off);
    	[tmp = 65536 - 57632 = 7904]
    	conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off += tmp;
    	[c_xmit_data_off = 57632 + 7904 = 65536]
    	ret -= tmp;
    	[ret = 8240 - 7904 = 336]
    	if (conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off == sg-&gt;length) {
    		conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off = 0;
    		sg++;
    		conn-&gt;c_xmit_sg++;
    		BUG_ON(ret != 0 &amp;&amp;
    			conn-&gt;c_xmit_sg == rm-&gt;data.op_nents);
    		[c_xmit_sg = 1, rm-&gt;data.op_nents = 1]

What the current fix does:
Since the congestion update over loopback is not actually transmitted
as a message, all that rds_ib_xmit needs to do is let the caller think
the full message has been transmitted and not return partial bytes.
It will return 8240 (RDS_CONG_MAP_BYTES+48) when PAGE_SIZE is 4Kb.
And 64Kb+48 when page size is 64Kb.

struct modified to use a union for different atomic op type's

This prints the constant identifier for work completion status and rdma
cm event types, like we already do for IB event types.

A core string array helper is added that each string type uses.

We're seeing bugs today where IB connection shutdown clears the send
ring while the tasklet is processing completed sends.  Implementation
details cause this to dereference a null pointer.  Shutdown needs to
wait for send completion to stop before tearing down the connection.  We
can't simply wait for the ring to empty because it may contain
unsignaled sends that will never be processed.

This patch tracks the number of signaled sends that we've posted and
waits for them to complete.  It also makes sure that the tasklet has
finished executing.

<title>rds: fix rds_send_xmit() serialization</title>

rds_send_xmit() was changed to hold an interrupt masking spinlock instead of a
mutex so that it could be called from the IB receive tasklet path.  This broke
the TCP transport because its xmit method can block and masks and unmasks
interrupts.

This patch serializes callers to rds_send_xmit() with a simple bit instead of
the current spinlock or previous mutex.  This enables rds_send_xmit() to be
called from any context and to call functions which block.  Getting rid of the
c_send_lock exposes the bare c_lock acquisitions which are changed to block
interrupts.

A waitqueue is added so that rds_conn_shutdown() can wait for callers to leave
rds_send_xmit() before tearing down partial send state.  This lets us get rid
of c_senders.

rds_send_xmit() is changed to check the conn state after acquiring the
RDS_IN_XMIT bit to resolve races with the shutdown path.  Previously both
worked with the conn state and then the lock in the same order, allowing them
to race and execute the paths concurrently.

rds_send_reset() isn't racing with rds_send_xmit() now that rds_conn_shutdown()
properly ensures that rds_send_xmit() can't start once the conn state has been
changed.  We can remove its previous use of the spinlock.

Finally, c_send_generation is redundant.  Callers can race to test the c_flags
bit by simply retrying instead of racing to test the c_send_generation atomic.

<title>RDS/IB: get the xmit max_sge from the RDS IB device on the connection</title>

rds_ib_xmit_rdma() was calling ib_get_client_data() to get at the rds_ibdevice
just to get the max_sge for the transmit.  This patch instead has it get it
directly off the rds_ibdev which is stored on the connection.

The current code won't free the rds_ibdev until all the IB connections that use
it are freed.  So it's safe to reference the rds_ibdev this way.  In the future
it also makes it easier to support proper reference counting of the rds_ibdev
struct.

As an additional bonus, this gets rid of the performance hit of calling in to
the IB stack to look up the rds_ibdev.  The current implementation in the IB
stack acquires an interrupt blocking spinlock to protect the registration of
client callback data.

This makes sure we have the proper number of references in
rds_ib_xmit_atomic and rds_ib_xmit_rdma.  We also consistently
drop references the same way for all message types as the IOs end.
