Hello
Hey Steve,
I'm trying (failing) to get iSER working. After rebooting with some settings saved in targetcli, I got an endless stream of messages like this: [ 192.701299] isert: isert_setup_id: rdma_bind_addr() failed: -19 [ 192.702733] isert: isert_setup_id: rdma_bind_addr() failed: -19 [ 192.704021] isert: isert_setup_id: rdma_bind_addr() failed: -19 [ 192.705458] isert: isert_setup_id: rdma_bind_addr() failed: -19 [ 192.706979] isert: isert_setup_id: rdma_bind_addr() failed: -19
You get -ENODEV errors because you don't have an RDMA device. This is probably due to the fact that the mlx5_ib (or mlx4_ib, depending on your device) is not loaded. Can you try loading mlx[4|5]_ib module before you enable iser on a network portal? I do see that mlx5 and mlx4 are requesting the mlx_ib module at probe time, I wander how that didn't happen on your system.. I didn't see a endless loop of this error? can you share your targetcli json?
I tried deleting everything from targetcli, but the flood would not stop. The ib_isert module did not unload. When rebooting I got a "Recursive Fault" with a stacktrace inside configfs. I hope this is enough information to fix this bug. I assumed the stacktrace would be saved to the log so I didn't write it down, and I haven't been able to retrace all the wrong stuff I did trying to make iSER work.

Would it be possible to try with upstream kernel and report what you are seeing? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
