The change to iwch_provider.c in commit f4e91eb4 ("IB: convert struct
class_device to struct device") undid the fix done in commit 7f049f2f
("RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call"). It
removed the calls to rtnl_lock() that serialized the iw_cxgb3 ethtool
ops calls into the cxgb3 driver. This locking is needed to avoid
messing up the internal state of the cxgb3 driver.

Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM
pages passed to it are cleared. This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to
allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW. Once firmware with a fix is
released, we can make the workaround conditional on firmware version.
This fixes the bug reported by Arthur Kepner <akepner@sgi.com> here:

Commit 1ae5c187 ("IB/uverbs: Don't store struct file * for event

code. However, after the conversion, is_closed flag is checked
incorrectly in ib_uverbs_async_handler(). As a result, no async
events are ever passed to applications.

nes_reg_user_mr() should fail if page_count becomes >= 1024 * 512
rather than just testing for strict >, because page_count is
essentially used as an index into an array with 1024 * 512 entries, so
allowing the loop to continue with page_count == 1024 * 512 means that
memory after the end of the array is corrupted. This leads to a crash
triggerable by a userspace application that requests registration of a
too-big region.
Also get rid of the call to pci_free_consistent() here to avoid
corrupting state with a double free, since the same memory will be
freed in the code jumped to at reg_user_mr_err.

In 2.6.26, we added some support for send with invalidate work
requests, including a device capability flag to indicate whether a
device supports such requests. However, the support was incomplete:
the completion structure was not extended with a field for the key
contained in incoming send with invalidate requests.
Full support for memory management extensions (send with invalidate,
local invalidate, fast register through a send queue, etc) is planned
for 2.6.27. Since send with invalidate is not very useful by itself,
just remove the IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV bit before the 2.6.26 final
release; we will add an IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS bit in 2.6.27,
which makes things simpler for applications, since they will not have
quite as confusing an array of fine-grained bits to check.

On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value
that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the
length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely
min_t(int, npages, PAGE_SIZE / sizeof (struct page *))
will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at
least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in
get_user_pages()"). This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(),
since the code boils down to:
while (npages) {
ret = get_user_pages(...);
npages -= ret;
}
Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of
npages is never truncated.
The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is
checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an
astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this,
and such a process could already cause lots of mischief. But it does
let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit
this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion
function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

Gabriel C <nix.or.die@googlemail.com> pointed out that when the x86
bitops are updated to operate on unsigned long, the code in
sdma_abort_task() will produce warnings:
drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_sdma.c: In function 'sdma_abort_task':
drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_sdma.c:267: warning: passing argument 2 of 'constant_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type
and so on, because it uses test_bit() to operation on a u64 value
(returned by ipath_read_kref64() for a hardware register).
Fix up these warnings by converting the test_bit() operations to &ing
with appropriate symbolic defines of the bits within the hardware
register. This has the benign side-effect of making the code more
self-documenting as well.

We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join
finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>. The test
randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up.
The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen
just after ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() was invoked (in which case the
broadcast pointer is NULL). This patch tests for and handles the case
where priv->broadcast is NULL.

When creating a kernel QP where the consumer asked for a send queue
with lots of scatter/gater entries, set_kernel_sq_size() incorrectly
returned an error if the send queue stride is larger than the
hardware's maximum send work request descriptor size. This is not a
problem; the only issue is to make sure that the actual descriptors
used do not overflow the maximum descriptor size, so check this instead.
Clamp the returned max_send_sge value to be no bigger than what
query_device returns for the max_sge to avoid confusing hapless users,
even if the hardware is capable of handling a few more s/g entries.
This bug caused NFS/RDMA mounts to fail when the server adapter used
the mlx4 driver.

The mthca driver returns the maximum number of scatter/gather entries
returned by the firmware as the max_sge value when device properties
are queried. However, the firmware also reports a limit on the
maximum descriptor size allowed, and because mthca takes into account
the worst case send request overhead when checking whether to allow a
QP to be created, the largest number of scatter/gather entries that
can be used with mthca may be limited by the maximum descriptor size
rather than just by the actual s/g entry limit.
This means that applications cannot actually create QPs with
max_send_sge equal to the limit returned by ib_query_device(). Fix
this by checking if the maximum descriptor size imposes a lower limit
and if so returning that lower limit.

The official reason is "with the presence of pid namespaces in the
kernel using pid_t-s inside one is no longer safe."
But the reason I fix this right now is the following:
About a month ago (when 2.6.25 was not yet released) there still was a
one last caller of a to-be-deprecated-soon function find_pid() - the
kill_proc() function, which in turn was only used by nfs callback
code.
During the last merge window, this last caller was finally eliminated
by some NFS patch(es) and I was about to finally kill this kill_proc()
and find_pid(), but found, that I was late and the kill_proc is now
called from the ipath driver since commit 58411d1c ("IB/ipath: Head of
Line blocking vs forward progress of user apps").
So here's a patch that fixes this code to use struct pid * and (!)
the kill_pid routine.

Fix some bugs with the max_aggr module parameter added with LRO support:
- The module parameter value ignored and not actually used to set
lro_mgr.max_aggr.
- MODULE_PARM_DESC had a typo "_mro_" instead of "_lro_" so it didn't
end up describing the actual module parameter.
- The nes_lro_max_aggr variable was declared as unsigned, but the
module_param line said "int" instead of "uint" for the type.
- The default value for the parameter was stuck in the permissions
field of module_param, which led to nonsensical permissions for the
file under /sys/module/iw_nes/param.
- The parameter was used in only one file but defined in another, which
led to the variable being global for no good reason. Move everything
related to the parameter to the file nes_hw.c where it is actually
used.

What's fixed:
in ipath_cancel_sends()
We need to unconditionally set ABORTING. So, swap the tests
so the set_bit() isn't shadowed by the &&.
If we've disarmed the piobufs, then we need to unconditionally
set DISARMED. So, move it out from the overly protective if
at the bottom.
in sdma_abort_task()
Abort_task was written knowing that the SDMA engine would always
be reset (and restarted) on error. A recent change broke that
fundamental assumption by taking the restart portion and making
it conditional on a link status change. But, SDMA can go boom
without a link status change in some conditions.

Now that we always use PIO for vl15 on 7220, we could get stuck forever
if we happened to run out of PIO buffers from the verbs code, because
the setup code wouldn't run; the interrupt was also ignored if SDMA was
supported. We also have to reduce the pio update threshold if we have
fewer kernel buffers than the existing threshold.
Clean up the initialization a bit to get ordering safer and more
sensible, and use the existing ipath_chg_kernavail call to do init,
rather than doing it separately.
Drop unnecessary clearing of pio buffer on pio parity error.
Drop incorrect updating of pioavailshadow when exitting freeze mode
(software state may not match chip state if buffer has been allocated
and not yet written).

Currently, iw_cxgb3 is severely limited on the amount of userspace
memory that can be registered in in a single memory region, which
causes big problems for applications that expect to be able to
register 100s of MB.
The problem is that the driver uses a single kmalloc()ed buffer to
hold the physical buffer list (PBL) for the entire memory region
during registration, which means that 8 bytes of contiguous memory are
required for each page of memory being registered. For example, a 64
MB registration will require 128 KB of contiguous memory with 4 KB
pages, and it unlikely that such an allocation will succeed on a busy
system.
This is purely a driver problem: the temporary page list buffer is not
needed by the hardware, so we can fix this by writing the PBL to the
hardware in page-sized chunks rather than all at once. We do this by
splitting the memory registration operation up into several steps:
- Allocate PBL space in adapter memory for the full registration
- Copy PBL to adapter memory in chunks
- Allocate STag and enable memory region
This also allows several other cleanups to the __cxio_tpt_op()
interface and related parts of the driver.
This change leaves the reregister memory region and memory window
operations broken, but they already didn't work due to other
longstanding bugs, so fixing them will be left to a later patch.

Current iw_cxgb3 code adds PBL memory to the driver's gen_pool in 2 MB
chunks. This limits the largest single allocation that can be done to
the same size, which means that with 4 KB pages, each of which takes 8
bytes of PBL memory, the largest memory region that can be allocated
is 1 GB (256K PBL entries * 4 KB/entry).
Remove this limit by adding all the PBL memory in a single gen_pool
chunk, if possible. Add code that falls back to smaller chunks if
gen_pool_add() fails, which can happen if there is not sufficient
contiguous lowmem for the internal gen_pool bitmap.

Commit f56bcd80 ("IPoIB: Use separate CQ for UD send completions")
introduced a bug where the transmit queue could get stopped and never
woken up. The problem is that send completions are only polled at the
end of the xmit function, so if the send queue fills up and the xmit
path stops the queue, then there is no way for send completions to
ever get polled, and so the transmit queue stays stopped forever.
Fix this by arming the send CQ just before posting the last send
request that fills the send queue. Then, when the completion event
handler is called, drain the send CQ. Since it is possible that not
enough send completions are in the CQ, verify that the the net queue
has been woken up after draining the send CQ, and if not arm a timer
and drain again at the timer function.

When I merged bbf8eed1 ("IB/mlx4: Add support for resizing CQs") I
changed things around so that mlx4_ib_alloc_cq_buf() and
mlx4_ib_free_cq_buf() were used everywhere they could be. However, I
screwed up the number of entries passed into mlx4_ib_alloc_cq_buf()
in a couple places -- the function bumps the number of entries
internally, so the caller shouldn't add 1 as well.
Passing a too-big value for the number of entries to mlx4_ib_free_cq_buf()
can cause the cleanup to go off the end of an array and corrupt
allocator state in interesting ways.

Commit cb9fbc5c ("IB: expand ib_umem_get() prototype") changed the
mthca userspace ABI to provide a way for userspace to indicate which
memory regions need the DMA write barrier attribute. However, it is
possible to handle this without breaking existing userspace, by having
the mthca kernel driver recognize whether it is talking to old or new
userspace, depending on the size of the register MR structure passed in.
The only potential drawback of this is that is allows old userspace
(which has a bug with DMA ordering on large SGI Altix systems) to
continue to run on new kernels, but the advantage of allowing old
userspace to continue to work on unaffected systems seems to outweigh
this, and we can print a warning to push people to upgrade their
userspace.

When a FMR is unmapped, mthca resets the map count to 0, and clears
the upper part of the R_Key which is used as the sequence counter.
This poses a problem for RDS, which uses ib_fmr_unmap as a fence
operation. RDS assumes that after issuing an unmap, the old R_Keys
will be invalid for a "reasonable" period of time. For instance,
Oracle processes uses shared memory buffers allocated from a pool of
buffers. When a process dies, we want to reclaim these buffers -- but
we must make sure there are no pending RDMA operations to/from those
buffers. The only way to achieve that is by using unmap and sync the
TPT.
However, when the sequence count is reset on unmap, there is a high
likelihood that a new mapping will be given the same R_Key that was
issued a few milliseconds ago.
To prevent this, don't reset the sequence count when unmapping a FMR.

to stop processing completion events and calling the application's
completion handlers, effectively causing traffic to stop.
Fix this by limiting available QPs and CQs to a customizable max
count, and determining EQ size based on these counts and a worst-case
assumption.
