SUNRPC: Fix a memory leak in rpc_create()

2008-04-09T01:07:00Z

Commit 510deb0d was supposed to move the xprt_create_transport() call in rpc_create(), but neglected to remove the old call site. This resulted in a transport leak after every rpc_create() call. This leak is present in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

SUNRPC: don't call flush_dcache_page() with an invalid pointer

2008-04-09T01:06:50Z

Fix a problem in _copy_to_pages(), whereby it may call flush_dcache_page() with an invalid pointer due to the fact that 'pgto' gets incremented beyond the end of the page array. Fix is to exit the loop without this unnecessary increment of pgto. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

SVCRDMA: Check num_sge when setting LAST_CTXT bit

2008-03-26T18:24:19Z

The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to build the RPC iovec page list. RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and associated page list. WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes, the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing. The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last context doesn't contain the iovec page list. Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects the last context for the RPC. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker Tested-by: Roland Dreier Signed-off-by: J.

SVCRDMA: Use only 1 RDMA read scatter entry for iWARP adapters

2008-03-24T18:25:25Z

The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter entry. NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block. In the mainline kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled. In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this problem eventually leads to trouble starting with: svcrdma: Error posting send = -22 svcrdma : RDMA_READ error = -22 and things go downhill from there. The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard. The check seems to be a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it ever worked as intended. In any case now that the code is upstream there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is defined or not. Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like: ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the same setup. (Tom Tucker says this is "actually an _ancient_ remnant when it had to compile against iWARP vs. non-iWARP enabled OFA trees.") Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier Acked-by: Tom Tucker Signed-off-by: J.

SVCRDMA: Fix erroneous BUG_ON in send_write

2008-03-12T19:37:34Z

The assertion that checks for sge context overflow is incorrectly hard-coded to 32. This causes a kernel bug check when using big-data mounts. Changed the BUG_ON to use the computed value RPCSVC_MAXPAGES. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

SVCRDMA: Add xprt refs to fix close/unmount crash

2008-03-12T19:37:34Z

RDMA connection shutdown on an SMP machine can cause a kernel crash due to the transport close path racing with the I/O tasklet. Additional transport references were added as follows: - A reference when on the DTO Q to avoid having the transport deleted while queued for I/O. - A reference while there is a QP able to generate events. - A reference until the DISCONNECTED event is received on the CM ID Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker Signed-off-by: J.
