"is_kva" variable in siw_tx_hdt() is not currently being updated for
each while loop iteration(the loop which walks the list of SGE's).
Usecase:
say a WQE has two SGE's :
- first with "assigned kernel buffer", so not MR allocated.
- second with PBL memory region, so mem_obj == PBL.
Now while processing first SGE, in iteration 1, "is_kva" is set to "1"
because there is no MR allocated.
And while processing the second SGE in iteration 2, since mem_obj is
PBL, the statement "if (!mem->mem_obj)" becomes false but is_kva is
still "1"(previous state). Thus, the PBL memory is handled as "direct
assigned kernel virtual memory", which eventually results in PAGE
FAULTS, MPA CRC issues.
if (!(tx_flags(wqe) & SIW_WQE_INLINE)) {
mem = wqe->mem[sge_idx];
if (!mem->mem_obj)
is_kva = 1;
} else {
is_kva = 1;
}
Note that you need to set MTU size more than the PAGESIZE to recreate
this issue(as the address of "PBL index 0" and "assigned kernel
virtual memory" are always same for SIW). In my case, I used SIW
as ISER initiator with MTU 9000, issue occurs with
SCSI WRITE operation.
