[PATCH for-next v4 0/7] RDMA/rxe: Make multicast work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After developing a test program which exercises node to node
testing of RoCE multicast it became clear that there are a
number of issues with the current rdma_rxe multicast implementation.

The issues seen include:
	- There is no support for IPV4 multicast addresses.
	- Once a multicast MAC is added it is not removed.
	- Multicast packets are sent with the wrong QP number.
	- Multicast IP addresses are not created and without
	  them no multicast packets received on the interface
	  are delivered to the rdma_rxe driver.
	- The implementation in rxe_mcast.c is potentially
	  racy if multiple simultaneous attach/detach operations
	  are issued.

This patch set fixes these issues. 
---
v4:
  Corrected a lockdep bug reported by Zhu Yanjun.
v3:
  Removed rxe_loop_and_send(). It turns out it is not needed.
  Added module parameters to set mcast limits to small values when
  driver is loaded to enable mcast limit testing.
  Rebased to current for-next branch.
v2:
  Respond to comments by Zhu.
  Added more Fixes lines.
  Added some more explanation in the commit messages.
  Fixed an error in rxe_lookup_mcg. Should have checked
	the return from rxe_get_mcg().

Bob Pearson (7):
  RDMA/rxe: Cleanup rxe_ah/av_chk_attr
  RDMA/rxe: Fix sending of mcast packets
  RDMA/rxe: Register IP mcast address
  RDMA/rxe: Let rxe_lookup_mcg use rcu_read_lock
  RDMA/rxe: Split multicast lock
  RDMA/rxe: Cleanup mcg lifetime
  RDMA/rxe: Add module parameters for mcast limits
