14 years agoRDS/IB: disconnect when IB devices are removed
Zach Brown [Mon, 24 May 2010 20:16:57 +0000 (13:16 -0700)]
RDS/IB: disconnect when IB devices are removed

Currently IB device removal destroys connections which are associated with the
device.  This prevents connections from being re-established when replacement
devices are added.

Instead we'll queue shutdown work on the connections as their devices are
removed.  When we see that devices are added we triger connection attempts on
all connections that don't currently have a device.

The result is that RDS sockets can resume device-independent work (bcopy, not
RDMA) across IB device removal and restoration.

Zach Brown [Tue, 18 May 2010 22:48:51 +0000 (15:48 -0700)]
RDS/IB: add refcount tracking to struct rds_ib_device

The RDS IB client .remove callback used to free the rds_ibdev for the given
device unconditionally.  This could race other users of the struct.  This patch
adds refcounting so that we only free the rds_ibdev once all of its users are
done.

Many rds_ibdev users are tied to connections.  We give the connection a
reference and change these users to reference the device in the connection
instead of looking it up in the IB client data.  The only user of the IB client
data remaining is the first lookup of the device as connections are built up.

Incrementing the reference count of a device found in the IB client data could
race with final freeing so we use an RCU grace period to make sure that freeing
won't happen until those lookups are done.

MRs need the rds_ibdev to get at the pool that they're freed in to.  They exist
outside a connection and many MRs can reference different devices from one
socket, so it was natural to have each MR hold a reference.  MR refs can be
dropped from interrupt handlers and final device teardown can block so we push
it off to a work struct.  Pool teardown had to be fixed to cancel its pending
work instead of deadlocking waiting for all queued work, including itself, to
finish.

MRs get their reference from the global device list, which gets a reference.
It is left unprotected by locks and remains racy.  A simple global lock would
be a significant bottleneck.  More scalable (complicated) locking should be
done carefully in a later patch.

The current code won't free the rds_ibdev until all the IB connections that use

it also makes it easier to support proper reference counting of the rds_ibdev

As an additional bonus, this gets rid of the performance hit of calling in to

On second look at this bug (OFED #2002), it seems that the
collision is not with the retransmission queue (packet acked
by the peer), but with the local send completion.  A theoretical
sequence of events (from time t0 to t3) is thought to be as
follows,

Thread #1
t0:
    sock_release
    rds_release
    rds_send_drop_to /* wait on send completion */
t2:
    rds_rdma_drop_keys()   /* destroy & free all mrs */

t1:
    rds_ib_send_cq_comp_handler
    rds_ib_send_unmap_rm
    rds_message_unmapped   /* wake up #1 @ t0 */
t3:
    rds_message_put
    rds_message_purge
    rds_mr_put   /* memory corruption detected */

The problem with the rds_rdma_drop_keys() is it could
remove a mr's refcount more than its due (i.e. repeatedly
as long as it still remains in the tree (mr->r_refcount > 0)).
Theoretically it should remove only one reference - reference
by the tree.

        /* Release any MRs associated with this socket */
        while ((node = rb_first(&rs->rs_rdma_keys))) {
                mr = container_of(node, struct rds_mr, r_rb_node);
                if (mr->r_trans == rs->rs_transport)
                        mr->r_invalidate = 0;
                rds_mr_put(mr);
        }

I think the correct way of doing it is to remove the mr from
the tree and rds_destroy_mr it first, then a rds_mr_put()
to decrement its reference count by one.  Whichever thread
holds the last reference will free the mr via rds_mr_put().

Santiago Leon [Fri, 3 Sep 2010 18:28:52 +0000 (18:28 +0000)]
ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload

This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network.  A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.

This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload.  When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available.  As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.

Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.
