If the netdevice is within a container and communicates externally
through network technologies like VXLAN, we won't be able to find
routing information in the init_net namespace. To address this issue,
we need to add a struct net parameter to the smc_ib_find_route function.
This allow us to locate the routing information within the corresponding
net namespace, ensuring the correct completion of the SMC CLC interaction.

I'm trying to test this patch on s390x but I'm running into the same
issue I ran into with the original SMC namespace
support:https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/8701fa4557026983a9ec687cfdd7ac5b3b85fd39.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Just like back then I'm using a server and a client network namespace
on the same system with two ConnectX-4 VFs from the same card and port.
Both TCP/IP traffic as well as user-space RDMA via "qperf … rc_bw" and
`qperf … rc_lat` work between namespaces and definitely go via the
card.

I did use "rdma system set netns exclusive" then moved the RDMA devices
into the namespaces with "rdma dev set <rdma_dev> netns <namespace>". I
also verified with "ip netns exec <namespace> rdma dev"
that the RDMA devices are in the network namespace and as seen by the
qperf runs normal RDMA does work.

For reference the smc_chck tool gives me the following output:

Server started on port 37373
[DEBUG] Interfaces to check: eno4378
Test with target IP 10.10.93.12 and port 37373
  Live test (SMC-D and SMC-R)
[DEBUG] Running client: smc_run /tmp/echo-clt.x0q8iO 10.10.93.12 -p
37373
[DEBUG] Client result: TCP 0x05000000/0x03030000
     Failed  (TCP fallback), reasons:
          Client:        0x05000000   Peer declined during handshake
          Server:        0x03030000   No SMC devices found (R and D)

I also checked that SMC is generally working, once I add an ISM device
I do get SMC-D between the namespaces. Any ideas what could break SMC-R
here?

I missed the email :(

Are you running SMC-Rv2 or v1 ?

Hi Niklas,

I tried your test today, and I encounter the same issue.
But I found it's because my 2 VFs are in difference subnets,
SMC-Rv2 work fine, SMC-Rv1 won't work, which is expected.
When I set the 2 VFs in the same subnet, SMC-Rv1 also works.

So I'm not sure it's the same for you. Can you check it out ?

BTW, the fallback reason(SMC_CLC_DECL_NOSMCDEV) in this case
is really not friendly, it's better to return SMC_CLC_DECL_DIFFPREFIX.

Best regards,
Dust

Thank you, Dust, for trying it out!
The reason code SMC_CLC_DECL_NOSMCDEV there could really make one misunderstand.



Best regards,
Dust



Thanks,
Niklas
