Subject: IB/mlx4: Fix incorrectly releasing steerable UD QPs when have only ETH ports
From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 852f6927594d0d3e8632c889b2ab38cbc46476ad upstream.
Allocating steerable UD QPs depends on having at least one IB port,
while releasing those QPs does not.
As a result, when there are only ETH ports, the IB (RoCE) driver
requests releasing a qp range whose base qp is zero, with
qp count zero.
When SR-IOV is enabled, and the VF driver is running on a VM over
a hypervisor which treats such qp release calls as errors
(rather than NOPs), we see lines in the VM message log like:
mlx4_core 0002:00:02.0: Failed to release qp range base:0 cnt:0
Fix this by adding a check for a zero count in mlx4_release_qp_range()
(which thus treats releasing 0 qps as a nop), and eliminating the
check for device managed flow steering when releasing steerable UD QPs.
(Freeing ib_uc_qpns_bitmap unconditionally is also OK, since it
remains NULL when steerable UD QPs are not allocated).
Fixes: 4196670be786 ("IB/mlx4: Don't allocate range of steerable UD QPs for Ethernet-only device")
