commit 344bacca8cd811809fc33a249f2738ab757d327f upstream.

This fix solves a race between light flush and on the fly joins.
Light flush doesn't set the device to down and unset IPOIB_OPER_UP
flag, this means that if while flushing we have a MC join in progress
and the QP was attached to BC MGID we can have a mismatches when
re-attaching a QP to the BC MGID.

The light flush would set the broadcast group to NULL causing an on
the fly join to rejoin and reattach to the BC MCG as well as adding
the BC MGID to the multicast list. The flush process would later on
remove the BC MGID and detach it from the QP. On the next flush
the BC MGID is present in the multicast list but not found when trying
to detach it because of the previous double attach and single detach.

<title>IB/ipoib: Fix memory corruption in ipoib cm mode connect flow</title>

commit 546481c2816ea3c061ee9d5658eb48070f69212e upstream.

When a new CM connection is being requested, ipoib driver copies data
from the path pointer in the CM/tx object, the path object might be
invalid at the point and memory corruption will happened later when now
the CM driver will try using that data.

The next scenario demonstrates it:
	neigh_add_path --&gt; ipoib_cm_create_tx --&gt;
	queue_work (pointer to path is in the cm/tx struct)
	#while the work is still in the queue,
	#the port goes down and causes the ipoib_flush_paths:
	ipoib_flush_paths --&gt; path_free --&gt; kfree(path)
	#at this point the work scheduled starts.
	ipoib_cm_tx_start --&gt; copy from the (invalid)path pointer:
	(memcpy(&amp;pathrec, &amp;p-&gt;path-&gt;pathrec, sizeof pathrec);)
	 -&gt; memory corruption.

To fix that the driver now starts the CM/tx connection only if that
specific path exists in the general paths database.
This check is protected with the relevant locks, and uses the gid from
the neigh member in the CM/tx object which is valid according to the ref
count that was taken by the CM/tx.

commit 61c78eea9516a921799c17b4c20558e2aa780fd3 upstream.

ipoib_neigh_get unconditionally updates the "alive" variable member on
any packet send.  This prevents the neighbor garbage collection from
cleaning out a dead neighbor entry if we are still queueing packets
for it.  If the queue for this neighbor is full, then don't update the
alive timestamp.  That way the neighbor can time out even if packets
are still being queued as long as none of them are being sent.

commit 08bc327629cbd63bb2f66677e4b33b643695097c upstream.

A narrow window for race condition still exist between
multicast join thread and *dev_flush workers.
A kernel crash caused by prolong erratic link state changes
was observed (most likely a faulty cabling):

Proposed patch should prevent multicast join task to continue

Signed-off-by: Alex Estrin &lt;alex.estrin@intel.com&gt;
Changes from v4:
- as suggested by Doug Ledford, optimized spinlock usage,
i.e. ipoib_mcast_join() is called with lock held.
Changes from v3:
- sync with priv-&gt;lock before flag check.
Chages from v2:
- Move check for OPER_UP flag state to mcast_join() to
ensure no event worker is in progress.
- minor style fixes.

commit 08bc327629cbd63bb2f66677e4b33b643695097c upstream.

A narrow window for race condition still exist between
multicast join thread and *dev_flush workers.
A kernel crash caused by prolong erratic link state changes
was observed (most likely a faulty cabling):

 }
Proposed patch should prevent multicast join task to continue
if link state change is detected.

Changes from v4:
- as suggested by Doug Ledford, optimized spinlock usage,
i.e. ipoib_mcast_join() is called with lock held.
Changes from v3:
- sync with priv-&gt;lock before flag check.
Chages from v2:
- Move check for OPER_UP flag state to mcast_join() to
ensure no event worker is in progress.
- minor style fixes.
Changes from v1:
- No need to lock again if error detected.

Adding an ability to query the IB cache by a netdev and get the
attributes of a GID. These parameters are necessary in order to
successfully resolve the required GID (when the netdevice is known)
and get the Ethernet L2 attributes from a GID.

When we leave the multicast group on expiration of a neighbor we
do not free the mcast structure. This results in a memory leak
that causes ib_dealloc_pd to fail and print a WARN_ON message
and backtrace.

<title>IB: split struct ib_send_wr</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch split up struct ib_send_wr so that all non-trivial verbs
use their own structure which embedds struct ib_send_wr.  This dramaticly
shrinks the size of a WR for most common operations:

sizeof(struct ib_send_wr) (old):	96

sizeof(struct ib_send_wr):		48
sizeof(struct ib_rdma_wr):		64
sizeof(struct ib_atomic_wr):		96
sizeof(struct ib_ud_wr):		88
sizeof(struct ib_fast_reg_wr):		88
sizeof(struct ib_bind_mw_wr):		96
sizeof(struct ib_sig_handover_wr):	80

And with Sagi's pending MR rework the fast registration WR will also be
down to a reasonable size:

sizeof(struct ib_fastreg_wr):		64

When performing sendonly joins, we queue the packets that trigger
the join until the join completes.  This may take on the order of
hundreds of milliseconds.  It is easy to have many more than three
packets come in during that time.  Expand the maximum queue depth
in order to try and prevent dropped packets during the time it
takes to join the multicast group.
