[PATCH net] net/smc: fix unexpected SMC_CLC_DECL_ERR_REGRMB error

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

 



From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove connections from link group is not synchronous with handling
SMC_LLC_DELETE_RKEY, which means that even the number of connections is
less that SMC_RMBS_PER_LGR_MAX, it does not mean that the connection can
register rtoken successfully later, in other words, the rtoken entry may
have not been released. This will cause an unexpected
SMC_CLC_DECL_ERR_REGRMB to be reported, and then ths smc connection have
to fallback to TCP.

We found that the main reason for the problem dues to following execution
sequence:

Server Conn A:           Server Conn B:			Client Conn B:

smc_lgr_unregister_conn
                        smc_lgr_register_conn
                        smc_clc_send_accept     ->
                                                        smc_rtoken_add
smcr_buf_unuse
		->		Client Conn A:
				smc_rtoken_delete

smc_lgr_unregister_conn() makes current link available to assigned to new
incoming connection, while smcr_buf_unuse() has not executed yet, which
means that smc_rtoken_add may fail because of insufficient rtoken_entry,
reversing their execution order will avoid this problem.
