[ Upstream commit a6d2a5a92e67d151c98886babdc86d530d27111c ]

Currently if alloc_skb fails to allocate the skb a null skb is passed to
t4_set_arp_err_handler and this ends up dereferencing the null skb.  Avoid
the NULL pointer dereference by checking for a NULL skb and returning
early.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")

[ Upstream commit 587443e7773e150ae29e643ee8f41a1eed226565 ]

Code review revealed a race condition which could allow the catas error
flow to interrupt the alias guid query post mechanism at random points.
Thiis is fixed by doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead of
cancel_delayed_work() during the alias guid mechanism destroy flow.

<title>IB/mlx4: Increase the timeout for CM cache</title>

[ Upstream commit 2612d723aadcf8281f9bf8305657129bd9f3cd57 ]

Using CX-3 virtual functions, either from a bare-metal machine or
pass-through from a VM, MAD packets are proxied through the PF driver.

Since the VF drivers have separate name spaces for MAD Transaction Ids
(TIDs), the PF driver has to re-map the TIDs and keep the book keeping
in a cache.

Following the RDMA Connection Manager (CM) protocol, it is clear when
an entry has to evicted form the cache. But life is not perfect,
remote peers may die or be rebooted. Hence, it's a timeout to wipe out
a cache entry, when the PF driver assumes the remote peer has gone.

During workloads where a high number of QPs are destroyed concurrently,
excessive amount of CM DREQ retries has been observed

The problem can be demonstrated in a bare-metal environment, where two
nodes have instantiated 8 VFs each. This using dual ported HCAs, so we
have 16 vPorts per physical server.

64 processes are associated with each vPort and creates and destroys
one QP for each of the remote 64 processes. That is, 1024 QPs per
vPort, all in all 16K QPs. The QPs are created/destroyed using the
CM.

When tearing down these 16K QPs, excessive CM DREQ retries (and
duplicates) are observed. With some cat/paste/awk wizardry on the
infiniband_cm sysfs, we observe as sum of the 16 vPorts on one of the
nodes:

cm_rx_duplicates:
      dreq  2102
cm_rx_msgs:
      drep  1989
      dreq  6195
       rep  3968
       req  4224
       rtu  4224
cm_tx_msgs:
      drep  4093
      dreq 27568
       rep  4224
       req  3968
       rtu  3968
cm_tx_retries:
      dreq 23469

Note that the active/passive side is equally distributed between the
two nodes.

Enabling pr_debug in cm.c gives tons of:

[171778.814239] &lt;mlx4_ib&gt; mlx4_ib_multiplex_cm_handler: id{slave:
1,sl_cm_id: 0xd393089f} is NULL!

By increasing the CM_CLEANUP_CACHE_TIMEOUT from 5 to 30 seconds, the
tear-down phase of the application is reduced from approximately 90 to
50 seconds. Retries/duplicates are also significantly reduced:

cm_rx_duplicates:
      dreq  2460
[]
cm_tx_retries:
      dreq  3010
       req    47

Increasing the timeout further didn't help, as these duplicates and
retries stems from a too short CMA timeout, which was 20 (~4 seconds)
on the systems. By increasing the CMA timeout to 22 (~17 seconds), the
numbers fell down to about 10 for both of them.

Adjustment of the CMA timeout is not part of this commit.

[ Upstream commit 904bba211acc2112fdf866e5a2bc6cd9ecd0de1b ]

The work completion length for a receiving a UD send with immediate is
short by 4 bytes causing application using this opcode to fail.

The UD receive logic incorrectly subtracts 4 bytes for immediate
value. These bytes are already included in header length and are used to
calculate header/payload split, so the result is these 4 bytes are
subtracted twice, once when the header length subtracted from the overall
length and once again in the UD opcode specific path.

Remove the extra subtraction when handling the opcode.

commit 768ae309a96103ed02eb1e111e838c87854d8b51 upstream.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

commit 308aa2b8f7b7db3332a7d41099fd37851fb793b2 upstream.

Once the qp has been flushed, it cannot be flushed again.  The user qp
flush logic wasn't enforcing it however.  The bug can cause
touch-after-free crashes like:

commit 062d0f22a30c39840ea49b72cfcfc1aa4cc538fa upstream.

In write to debugfs file 'resource_stats' the local buffer 'tmp_str' is
written at index 'count-1' where 'count' is the size of the write, so
potentially 0.

This patch filters odd values for the write size/position to avoid this
type of problem.

<title>IB/mlx4: Mark user MR as writable if actual virtual memory is writable</title>

commit d8f9cc328c8888369880e2527e9186d745f2bbf6 upstream.

To allow rereg_user_mr to modify the MR from read-only to writable without
using get_user_pages again, we needed to define the initial MR as writable.
However, this was originally done unconditionally, without taking into
account the writability of the underlying virtual memory.

As a result, any attempt to register a read-only MR over read-only
virtual memory failed.

To fix this, do not add the writable flag bit when the user virtual memory
is not writable (e.g. const memory).

However, when the underlying memory is NOT writable (and we therefore
do not define the initial MR as writable), the IB core adds a
"force writable" flag to its user-pages request. If this succeeds,
the reg_user_mr caller gets a writable copy of the original pages.

If the user-space caller then does a rereg_user_mr operation to enable
writability, this will succeed. This should not be allowed, since
the original virtual memory was not writable.

commit 7b72717a20bba8bdd01b14c0460be7d15061cd6b upstream.

The code was mistakenly using the length of the page array memory instead
of the depth of the page array.

This would cause MR creation to fail in some cases.

There is no need to crash the machine if unknown work request was
received in SQP MAD.
