When IP based addressing was introduced, ib_create_ah_from_wc was
changed in order to support a suitable AH. Since this AH should
now contains the DMAC (which isn't a simple derivative of the GID).
In order to find the DMAC, an ARP should sometime be sent. This ARP
is a sleeping context.

ib_create_ah_from_wc is called from cm_alloc_response_msg, which is
sometimes called from an atomic context. This caused a
sleeping-while-atomic bug. Fixing this by splitting
cm_alloc_response_msg to an atomic and sleep-able part. When
cm_alloc_response_msg is used in an atomic context, we try to create
the AH before entering the atomic context.

Fixes: 66bd20a72d2f ('IB/core: Ethernet L2 attributes in verbs/cm structures')

Hi Doug,
This patch fixes an old bug in the CM. IP based addressing requires
ARP resolution which isn't sleep-able by its nature. This resolution
was sometimes done in non sleep-able context. Our regression tests
picked up this bug and verified this fix.

Thanks,
Matan

Looks good, just one doubt inline:

Shouldn't below IS_ERR(ah) on ah be here, instead of there?

Wait - are you saying that the CM may now be waiting for an ARP response before it can send a message?

ib_create_ah_from_wc needs to resolve the DMAC in order to create the
AH (this may result sending an ARP and waiting for response).
CM uses this function (which is now sleepable).

I don't think we want to fail on error if the state != IB_CM_TIMEWAIT 
(other states don't use this ah).

This is a significant change to the CM.  The CM calls are invoked assuming that they return relatively quickly.  They're invoked from callbacks and internally.  Having the calls now wait for an ARP response requires that this be re-architected, so the calling thread doesn't go out to lunch for several seconds.

Agree - this is a significant change, but it was done a long time ago
(at v4.3 if I recall). When we need to send a message we need to
figure out the destination MAC. Even the passive side needs to do that
as some vendors don't report the source MAC of the packet in their wc.
Even if they did, since IP based addressing is rout-able by its
nature, it should follow the networking stack rules. Some crazy
configurations could force sending responses to packets that came from
router1 to router2 - so we have no choice than resolving the DMAC at
every side.

Ib_create_ah_from_wc is broken.   It is now an asynchronous operation, only the call itself was left as synchronous.  We can't block kernel threads for a minute, or however long ARP takes to resolve.  The call itself must change to be async, and all users of it updated to allocate some request, queue it, and handle all race conditions that result -- such as state changes or destruction of the work that caused the request to be initiated.

Today, cm assumes paths are reversible primary_path->reversible = 1.
That's true for both IB and RoCE. We could say vendors must report the
SMAC in WC and then ib_create_ah_from_wc will be atomic (for these
cases). If we wish to lift these limitations, we need to make
ib_create_ah_from_wc asynchronous, but that's true even prior the RoCE
IP based addressing patch.

I can't quickly find a link, but I believe all CM MADs are reversible, per the spec.

Spec citation for this is:

C12-5.1.3: All responses generated by the CM protocol shall follow the
rules for response generation that are enumerated in 13.5.4 Response
Generation and Reversible Paths.

But the Linux CM code doesn't always create the reverse CM MAD from
the GMP headers, it sometimes will do it by looking into the data path
in the MAD, which means it still could need to sleep to do the MAC
resolution.

I don't know who had intended to address this, but it got left out of
the 4.4 work.  We need to not let this drop through the cracks (for
another release).  Can someone please put fixing this properly on their
TODO list?

IMHO, the proposed patch makes things better. Not applying the current
patch means we have a "sleeping while atomic" error (in addition to
the fact that kernel threads could wait until the ARP process
finishes), which is pretty bad. I tend to agree that adding another CM
state is probably a better approach, but unless someone steps up and
add this for v4.5, I think that's the best thing we have.
