Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v4 00/10] optimize the parallelism of SMC-R
 connections


Hi Wenjia,

According to code in ism_register_dmb():

	if (!dmb->sba_idx) {
		bit = find_next_zero_bit(ism->sba_bitmap, ISM_NR_DMBS,
					 ISM_DMB_BIT_OFFSET);
		if (bit == ISM_NR_DMBS)
			return -ENOSPC;

		dmb->sba_idx = bit;
	}
	if (dmb->sba_idx < ISM_DMB_BIT_OFFSET ||
	    test_and_set_bit(dmb->sba_idx, ism->sba_bitmap))
		return -EINVAL;

We can see that ism_register_dmb() is not thread-safe, invoking this function at the same time
without protected may fail with -EINVAL (different callers might get the same bit on
find_next_zero_bit()).

Considering the stack call chain:

smc_listen_work

smc_listen_find_device
	smc_find_ism_v2_device_serv()
	if (ini->dev[0])
		return
	smc_find_ism_v1_device_serv()
	if (ini->dev[0])
		return
	smc_find_rdma_v2_device_serv()

smc_find_ism_v2_device_serv:

	/* separate - outside the smcd_dev_list.lock */
	smcd_version = ini->smcd_version;
	for (i = 0; i < matches; i++) {
		ini->smcd_version = SMC_V2;
		ini->is_smcd = true;
		ini->ism_selected = i;
		rc = smc_listen_ism_init(new_smc, ini);
		if (rc) {
			smc_find_ism_store_rc(rc, ini);
			/* try next active ISM device */
			continue;
		}
		return; /* matching and usable V2 ISM device found */
	}
	/* no V2 ISM device could be initialized */
	ini->smcd_version = smcd_version;	/* restore original value */
	ini->negotiated_eid[0] = 0;

not_found:
	ini->smcd_version &= ~SMC_V2;
	ini->ism_dev[0] = NULL;
	ini->is_smcd = false;


smc_listen_ism_init
smc_buf_create
__smc_buf_create
smcd_new_buf_create(is_rmb = true)

smc_ism_register_dmb
	return -EINVAL;


Therefore, the failure of ism_register_dmb() will result in smc_find_ism_v2_device_serv() failed,
Similarly, smc_find_ism_v1_device_serv() may also fail too, then SMC-R is finally selected.
If my guess is correct, the SMC-D connections should include different versions of v1 and v2 if
v1&v2 are both supplied. (you could see it by $(smcr -dd stats))


However, the leak problem of connection cannot be explained.
Could you help me dump the status of those connection, I wish to
know which state they stayed at last. (crash utils or $(smcr -a))


Thanks.
D. Wythe

I did some traces, and saw there was already something wrong during the CLC handshake, where one connection is decided for SMC-R not -D. This is one piece of the snapshot of the trace:
