When run "ip link add" command to add a rxe rdma link in a net
namespace, normally this rxe rdma link can not work in a net name
space.

The root cause is that a sock listening on udp port 4791 is
created in init_net when the rdma_rxe module is loaded into
kernel. That is, the sock listening on udp port 4791 is created in
init_net. Other net namespace is difficult to use this sock.

The following commits will solve this problem.

In the first commit, move the creating sock listening on udp port
4791 from module_init function to rdma link creating functions.
That is, after the module rdma_rxe is loaded, the sock will not be created.
When run "rdma link add ..." command, the sock will be created. So
when creating a rdma link in the net namespace, the sock will be
created in this net namespace.

In the second commit, the functions udp4_lib_lookup and
udp6_lib_lookup will check the sock exists in the net namespace or
not. If yes, rdma link will increase the reference count of this
sock, then continue other jobs instead of creating a new sock to
listen on udp port 4791. Since the network notifier is global,
when the module rdma_rxe is loaded, this notifier will be registered.

After the rdma link is created, the command "rdma link del" is to
delete rdma link at the same time the sock is checked. If the
reference count of this sock is greater than the sock reference
count needed by udp tunnel, the sock reference count is decreased
by one. If equal, it indicates that this rdma link is the last
one. As such, the udp tunnel is shut down and the sock is closed.
The above work should be implemented in linkdel function. But
currently no dellink function in rxe. So the 3rd commit addes
dellink function pointer. And the 4th commit implements the dellink function in rxe.

To now, it is not necessary to keep a global variable to store the
sock listening udp port 4791. This global variable can be replaced
by the functions udp4_lib_lookup and udp6_lib_lookup totally.
Because the function udp6_lib_lookup is in the fast path, a member
variable l_sk6 is added to store the sock. If l_sk6 is NULL,
udp6_lib_lookup is called to lookup the sock, then the sock is
stored in l_sk6, in the future,it can be used directly.

All the above work has been done in init_net. And it can also work
in the net namespace. So the init_net is replaced by the
individual net namespace. This is what the 6th commit does.
Because rxe device is dependent on the net device and the sock
listening on udp port 4791, every rxe device is in exclusive mode in the individual net namespace.
Other rdma netns operations will be considerred in the future.

In the 7th commit, the
register_pernet_subsys/unregister_pernet_subsys
functions are added. When a new net namespace is created, the init
function will initialize the sk4 and sk6 socks. Then the 2 socks
will be released when the net namespace is destroyed. The
functions
rxe_ns_pernet_sk4/rxe_ns_pernet_set_sk4 will get and set sk4 in
the net namespace. The functions
rxe_ns_pernet_sk6/rxe_ns_pernet_set_sk6 will handle sk6. Then sk4 and sk6 are used in the previous commits.

As the sk4 and sk6 in pernet namespace can be accessed, it is not
necessary to add a new l_sk6. As such, in the 8th commit, the
l_sk6 is replaced with the sk6 in pernet namespace.

Test steps:
1) Suppose that 2 NICs are in 2 different net namespaces.

     # ip netns exec net0 ip link
     3: eno2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq
state UP
        link/ether 00:1e:67:a0:22:3f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
        altname enp5s0

     # ip netns exec net1 ip link
     4: eno3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
fq_codel
        link/ether f8:e4:3b:3b:e4:10 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

2) Add rdma link in the different net namespace
       net0:
       # ip netns exec net0 rdma link add rxe0 type rxe netdev eno2

       net1:
       # ip netns exec net1 rdma link add rxe1 type rxe netdev eno3

3) Run rping test.
       net0
       # ip netns exec net0 rping -s -a 192.168.2.1 -C 1&
       [1] 1737
       # ip netns exec net1 rping -c -a 192.168.2.1 -d -v -C 1
       verbose
       count 1
       ...
       ping data: rdma-ping-0:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqr
       ...

4) Remove the rdma links from the net namespaces.
       net0:
       # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
       State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer
Address:Port    Process
       UNCONN    0         0         0.0.0.0:4791
0.0.0.0:*
       UNCONN    0         0         [::]:4791             [::]:*

       # ip netns exec net0 rdma link del rxe0

       # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
       State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer
Address:Port    Process

       net1:
       # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
       State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer
Address:Port    Process
       UNCONN    0         0         0.0.0.0:4791
0.0.0.0:*
       UNCONN    0         0         [::]:4791             [::]:*

       # ip netns exec net1 rdma link del rxe1

       # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
       State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer
Address:Port    Process

V4->V5: Rebase the commits to V6.4-rc1

V3->V4: Rebase the commits to rdma-next;

V2->V3: 1) Add "rdma link del" example in the cover letter, and
V2->use "ss -lu" to
              verify rdma link is removed.
           2) Add register_pernet_subsys/unregister_pernet_subsys
net namespace
           3) Replace l_sk6 with sk6 of pernet_name_space

V1->V2: Add the explicit initialization of sk6.

Zhu,

I did some simple experiments on netns functionality.

With your patch set applied and rxe0 created on enp6s0 and rxe1
created on lo in the default namespace

      # sudo ip netns add test
      # ip netns
      test
      # sudo ip netns exec test ip link

      # sudo ip netns exec test ip link set dev lo up
      # sudo ip netns exec test ip link
      1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state

          link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
      # sudo ip netns exec test ip addr add dev lo
fe80::0200:00ff:fe00:0000/64
          [rxe doesn't work unless this IPV6 address is set]
      # sudo ip netns exec test ip addr
      1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state
UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
          link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
          inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      # sudo ip netns exec test ls /sys/class/infiniband
      rxe0  rxe1
          [These show up even though the ndevs do *not* belong to
the test namespace! Probably OK.]
      # sudo ip netns exec test rdma link add rxe2 type rxe netdev
lo
      # ls /sys/class/infiniband
      rxe0  rxe1  rxe2
          [The new rxe device shows up in the default namespace. At
least we're consistent.]

          [Works. Didn't break the existing rxe devices. Expected]
      # ib_send_bw -d rxe1 ... 127.0.0.1
          [Works. Expected]
      # ib_send_bw -d rxe2 ... 127.0.0.1
      IB device rxe2 not found
         Unable to find the Infiniband/RoCE device
          [Not work. Expected.]
      # sudo ip netns exec test ib_send_bw -d rxe2 ... 127.0.0.1
      IB device rxe2 not found
       Unable to find the Infiniband/RoCE device
          [Also not work. Turns out rxe2 device is gone after
failure. Not expected.]
      # sudo ip netns exec test rdma link add rxe2 type rxe netdev
lo
      # ls /sys/class/infiniband
      rxe0  rxe1  rxe2
          [Good. It's back]
      # sudo ip netns exec test ib_send_bw -d rxe2 ... 127.0.0.1
          [Works in test namespace! Expected.]
      # sudo ip netns exec test ib_send_bw -d rxe1 ... 127.0.0.1
          [Also works. Definitely not expected.]

My take, it sort of works. But there are some serious issues. You
shouldn't be able to use the
rxe2 device in the default namespace. It would be nice if you
couldn't see the rxe devices in each other's namespaces (Like ip
link or ip addr hide other namespace's devices.)

Bob
Forgot to mention. It also is definitely not good that a process in
the default namespace can destroy a rxe device in the test namespace by trying to use it.
Thanks a lot.

I am not sure if it is correct or not to destroy a rxe device outside this this net namespace.

Because to irdma/mlx5 rdma devices, we can also destroy them with the command "modprobe -v irdma/mlx5..." outside of the net namespace.

I am not sure if this is correct or not.

Bob
I didn' intentionally destroy lo2. I just tried to access the rxe device but it failed.
The rxe device was destroyed as a side effect of failing to open it.
The GID of rxe can not be generated with lo. This is a problem. Now Chuck Lever <cel@xxxxxxxxxx> will fix it.

Not sure if the problem that you confronted is related with this. Please use physical NIC to make tests again.

Thanks a lot.

Zhu Yanjun

Bob
That was why I added the IPV6 address by hand. That created the gid table entry. This is
also a problem for all ethernet devices for distros that mangle the MAC address when creating the
IPV6 address as a security measure. These include Ubuntu which I use. So I have to always add
an IPV6 address based on the MAC address for any ethernet device.


Chuck Lever <cel@xxxxxxxxxx> will fix this problem. Before the fix for this problem is merged, it is not good to make tests with rxe-on-lo.

It is difficult for us to tell the failure from lo or net name space.

So please use physical NIC instead of lo now.
