For devices that don't support SRQs, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() is
called from both ipoib_cm_handle_rx_wc() and ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx(),
and these two callers are not synchronized against each other.
However, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() always reuses the same receive
work request and scatter list structures, so multiple callers can end
up stepping on each other, which leads to posting garbled work
requests.
Fix this by having the caller pass in the ib_recv_wr and ib_sge
structures to use, and allocating new local structures in
ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx().
Based on a patch by Pradeep Satyanarayana <pradeep@us.ibm.com> and

The connected mode implementation in the IPoIB driver has a large
overhead in the way SKBs are handled in the receive flow. It usually
allocates an SKB with as big as was used in the currently received SKB
and moves unused fragments from the old SKB to the new one. This
involves a loop on all the remaining fragments and incurs overhead on
the CPU. This patch, for small SKBs, allocates an SKB just large
enough to contain the received data and copies to it the data from the
received SKB. The newly allocated SKB is passed to the stack and the
old SKB is reposted.
When running netperf, UDP small messages, without this pach I get:
UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
14.4.3.178 (14.4.3.178) port 0 AF_INET

114688 10.00 1130489 115.71
With this patch I get both send and receive at ~315 mbps.
The reason that send performance actually slows down is as follows:
When using this patch, the overhead of the CPU for handling RX packets
is dramatically reduced. As a result, we do not experience RNR NAK
messages from the receiver which cause the connection to be closed and
reopened again; when the patch is not used, the receiver cannot handle
the packets fast enough so there is less time to post new buffers and
hence the mentioned RNR NACKs. So what happens is that the
application *thinks* it posted a certain number of packets for
transmission but these packets are flushed and do not really get
transmitted. Since the connection gets opened and closed many times,
each time netperf gets the CPU time that otherwise would have been
given to IPoIB to actually transmit the packets. This can be verified
when looking at the port counters -- the output of ifconfig and the
oputput of netperf (this is for the case without the patch):
tx packets
==========
port counter: 1,543,996
ifconfig: 1,581,426
netperf: 5,142,034
rx packets
==========
netperf 1,1304,089

Use a dedicated CQ for UD send completions. Also, do not arm the UD
send CQ, which reduces the number of interrupts generated. This patch
farther reduces overhead by not calling poll CQ for every posted send
WR -- it does polls only when there 16 or more outstanding work requests.

If a P_Key is deleted and then re-added at the same index, then IPoIB
gets confused because __ipoib_ib_dev_flush() only checks whether the
index is the same without checking whether the P_Key was present, so
the interface is stopped when the P_Key is deleted, but the event when
the P_Key is re-added gets ignored and the interface never gets
restarted.
Also, switch to using ib_find_pkey() instead of ib_find_cached_pkey()
everywhere in IPoIB, since none of the places that look for P_Keys are
in a fast path or in non-sleeping context, and in general we want to
kill off the whole caching infrastructure eventually. This also fixes
consistency problems caused because some IPoIB queries were cached and
some were uncached during the window where the cache was not updated.
Thanks to Venkata Subramonyam <vsubramo@cisco.com> for debugging this
problem and testing this fix.

Commit 7143740d ("IPoIB: Add send gather support") made struct
ipoib_tx_buf significantly larger, since the mapping member changed
from a single u64 to an array with MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 entries. This
means that allocating tx_rings with kzalloc() may fail because there
is not enough contiguous memory for the new, much bigger size. Fix
this regression by allocating the rings with vmalloc() instead.

Commit 7143740d ("IPoIB: Add send gather support") made it possible
for tx_wr.num_sge to be != 1 -- this happens if send gather support is

assumes the old invariant, namely that tx_wr.num_sge is always 1. Fix
this by explicitly setting tx_wr.num_sge to 1 in the CM post_send().

Commit efcd9971 ("IPoIB/cm: Factor out ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list()")
introduced a bug in ipoib_cm_dev_stop() when the receive drain times
out. In that case, the function moves all the pending rx stuff into a
private list but then calls ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list(), which
handles a different list.

get freed up.

Some HCAs (such as ehca2) support SRQ, but only support fewer than 16 SG
entries for SRQs. Currently IPoIB/CM implicitly assumes all HCAs will
support 16 SG entries for SRQs (to handle a 64K MTU with 4K pages). This
patch removes that restriction by limiting the maximum MTU in connected
mode to what the maximum number of SRQ SG entries allows.

Some IB adapters (notably IBM's eHCA) do not implement SRQs (shared
receive queues). The current IPoIB connected mode support only works
on devices that support SRQs.
Fix this by adding support for using the receive queue of each
connected mode receive QP. The disadvantage of this compared to using
an SRQ is that it means a full queue of receives must be posted for
each remote connected mode peer, which means that total memory usage
is potentially much higher than when using SRQs. To manage this, add
a new module parameter "max_nonsrq_conn_qp" that limits the number of
connections allowed per interface.
The rest of the changes are fairly straightforward: we use a table of
struct ipoib_cm_rx to hold all the active connections, and put the
table index of the connection in the high bits of receive WR IDs.
This is needed because we cannot rely on the struct ib_wc.qp field for
non-SRQ receive completions. Most of the rest of the changes just
test whether or not an SRQ is available, and post receives or find
received packets in the right place depending on the answer.
Cleaning up dead connections actually becomes simpler, because we do
not have to do the "last WQE reached" dance that is required to
destroy QPs attached to an SRQ. We just move the QP to the error
state and wait for all pending receives to be flushed.

Use the same CQ for CM send completions as for all other IPoIB
completions. This means all completions are processed via the same
NAPI polling routine. This should help reduce the number of
interrupts for bi-directional traffic (such as TCP) and fixes "driver
is hogging interrupts" errors reported for IPoIB send side, e.g.
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508>
To do this, keep a per-interface counter of outstanding send WRs, and
stop the interface when this counter reaches the send queue size to
avoid CQ overruns.

commit 518b1646 ("IPoIB/cm: Fix SRQ WR leak") introduced a severe
performance regression on Mellanox cards, because keeping a QP in the
error state for extended periods of time moves hardware to the slow
path (until the QP is destroyed). For example, MPI latency goes from
~3 usecs to ~7 usecs.
Fix this by posting a send WR on one of the QPs that are being
flushed, instead of using a separate drain QP that is kept in the
error state.

Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels

hard-coding a value of 1.
We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
affinity. This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
anyway.

The packet length checks in ipoib are broken: we add 4 bytes (IPoIB
encapsulation header) when sending a packet, not 20 bytes (hardware
address length) to each packet. Therefore, if connected mode is
enabled so that the interface MTU is larger than the multicast MTU,
IPoIB may end up trying to send too-long multicast packets. For
example, multicast is broken if a message of size 2048 bytes is sent
on an interface with UD MTU 2048, because 2048 is bigger than the real
limit of 2044 but the code tests against the wrong limit of 2060.

The following patch adds experimental support for IPoIB connected
mode, as defined by the draft from the IETF ipoib working group. The
idea is to increase performance by increasing the MTU from the maximum
of 2K (theoretically 4K) supported by IPoIB on top of UD. With this
code, I'm able to get 800MByte/sec or more with netperf without
options on a Mellanox 4x back-to-back DDR system.
Some notes on code:
1. SRQ is used for scalability to large cluster sizes
2. Only RC connections are used (UC does not support SRQ now)
3. Retry count is set to 0 since spec draft warns against retries
4. Each connection is used for data transfers in only 1 direction, so
each connection is either active(TX) or passive (RX). 2 sides that
want to communicate create 2 connections.
5. Each active (TX) connection has a separate CQ for send completions -
this keeps the code simple without CQ resize and other tricks
6. To detect stale passive side connections (where the remote side is
