Description: rdma-ndd sets correct NodeDescription for device which was initialised first; for the second device description in sysfs is set correctly, but saquery to that node will return default "NodeDescription.........MT4119 ConnectX5 Mellanox Technologies" How to reproduce: initramfs-tools 0.130+ (default for buster) - loads mlx5_core/mlx5_ib in initramfs, ports 1 and 2 are connected to different fabrics (not to the same switch), as a result very close gap between mlx5_0 and mlx5_1 netlink events. Then use saquery <lid of the second port> -C mlx5_1 Workarounds: blacklist mlx5_core and mlx5_ib in initramfs OR connect both ports to the same fabric OR restart OpenSM (will re-read sysfs) Non-effective workarounds: systemd rdma-ndd.timer, systemd rdma-ndd ExecStartPre sleep Information about your system: Linux distribution and version: Debian 10.1 Linux kernel and version: 4.19.118-2+deb10u1 InfiniBand hardware and firmware version: MT4119, 16.27.2008 OpenSM version: 3.3.20, 3.3.21 -- Vladimir
