Clean up: struct rpcrdma_mw was named after Memory Windows, but
xprtrdma no longer supports a Memory Window registration mode.
Rename rpcrdma_mw and its fields to reduce confusion and make
the code more sensible to read.
Renaming "mw" was suggested by Tom Talpey, the author of the
original xprtrdma implementation. It's a good idea, but I haven't
done this until now because it's a huge diffstat for no benefit
other than code readability.
However, I'm about to introduce static trace points that expose
a few of xprtrdma's internal data structures. They should make sense
in the trace report, and it's reasonable to treat trace points as a
kernel API contract which might be difficult to change later.
While I'm churning things up, two additional changes:
- rename variables unhelpfully called "r" to "mr", to improve code
clarity, and
- rename the MR-related helper functions using the form
"rpcrdma_mr_<verb>", to be consistent with other areas of the
code.

Clean up. @rqst is set up differently for backchannel Replies. For
example, rqst->rq_task and task->tk_client are both NULL. So it is
easier to understand and maintain this code path if it is separated.
Also, we can get rid of the confusing rl_connect_cookie hack in
rpcrdma_bc_receive_call.

Commit d8f532d20ee4 ("xprtrdma: Invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler
directly from RECV completion") introduced a performance regression
for NFS I/O small enough to not need memory registration. In multi-
threaded benchmarks that generate primarily small I/O requests,
IOPS throughput is reduced by nearly a third. This patch restores
the previous level of throughput.
Because workqueues are typically BOUND (in particular ib_comp_wq,
nfsiod_workqueue, and rpciod_workqueue), NFS/RDMA workloads tend
to aggregate on the CPU that is handling Receive completions.
The usual approach to addressing this problem is to create a QP
and CQ for each CPU, and then schedule transactions on the QP
for the CPU where you want the transaction to complete. The
transaction then does not require an extra context switch during
completion to end up on the same CPU where the transaction was
started.
This approach doesn't work for the Linux NFS/RDMA client because
currently the Linux NFS client does not support multiple connections
per client-server pair, and the RDMA core API does not make it
straightforward for ULPs to determine which CPU is responsible for
handling Receive completions for a CQ.
So for the moment, record the CPU number in the rpcrdma_req before
the transport sends each RPC Call. Then during Receive completion,
queue the RPC completion on that same CPU.
Additionally, move all RPC completion processing to the deferred
handler so that even RPCs with simple small replies complete on
the CPU that sent the corresponding RPC Call.

When an RPC Call includes a file data payload, that payload can come
from pages in the page cache, or a user buffer (for direct I/O).
If the payload can fit inline, xprtrdma includes it in the Send
using a scatter-gather technique. xprtrdma mustn't allow the RPC
consumer to re-use the memory where that payload resides before the
Send completes. Otherwise, the new contents of that memory would be
exposed by an HCA retransmit of the Send operation.
So, block RPC completion on Send completion, but only in the case
where a separate file data payload is part of the Send. This
prevents the reuse of that memory while it is still part of a Send
operation without an undue cost to other cases.
Waiting is avoided in the common case because typically the Send
will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives.
These days, an RPC timeout will trigger a disconnect, which tears
down the QP. The disconnect flushes all waiting Sends. This bounds
the amount of time the reply handler has to wait for a Send
completion.

Problem statement:
Recently Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> observed that kernel RDMA-
enabled storage initiators don't handle delayed Send completion
correctly. If Send completion is delayed beyond the end of a ULP
transaction, the ULP may release resources that are still being used
by the HCA to complete a long-running Send operation.
This is a common design trait amongst our initiators. Most Send
operations are faster than the ULP transaction they are part of.
Waiting for a completion for these is typically unnecessary.
Infrequently, a network partition or some other problem crops up
where an ordering problem can occur. In NFS parlance, the RPC Reply
arrives and completes the RPC, but the HCA is still retrying the
Send WR that conveyed the RPC Call. In this case, the HCA can try
to use memory that has been invalidated or DMA unmapped, and the
connection is lost. If that memory has been re-used for something
else (possibly not related to NFS), and the Send retransmission
exposes that data on the wire.
Thus we cannot assume that it is safe to release Send-related
resources just because a ULP reply has arrived.
After some analysis, we have determined that the completion
housekeeping will not be difficult for xprtrdma:
- Inline Send buffers are registered via the local DMA key, and
are already left DMA mapped for the lifetime of a transport
connection, thus no additional handling is necessary for those
- Gathered Sends involving page cache pages _will_ need to
DMA unmap those pages after the Send completes. But like
inline send buffers, they are registered via the local DMA key,
and thus will not need to be invalidated
In addition, RPC completion will need to wait for Send completion
in the latter case. However, nearly always, the Send that conveys
the RPC Call will have completed long before the RPC Reply
arrives, and thus no additional latency will be accrued.
Design notes:
In this patch, the rpcrdma_sendctx object is introduced, and a
lock-free circular queue is added to manage a set of them per
transport.
The RPC client's send path already prevents sending more than one
RPC Call at the same time. This allows us to treat the consumer
side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked) as if there is a
single consumer thread.
The producer side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked) is
invoked only from the Send completion handler, which is a single
thread of execution (soft IRQ).
The only care that needs to be taken is with the tail index, which
is shared between the producer and consumer. Only the producer
updates the tail index. The consumer compares the head with the
tail to ensure that the a sendctx that is in use is never handed
out again (or, expressed more conventionally, the queue is empty).
When the sendctx queue empties completely, there are enough Sends
outstanding that posting more Send operations can result in a Send
Queue overflow. In this case, the ULP is told to wait and try again.
This introduces strong Send Queue accounting to xprtrdma.
As a final touch, Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com>
suggested a mechanism that does not require signaling every Send.
We signal once every N Sends, and perform SGE unmapping of N Send
operations during that one completion.

Commit 655fec6987be ("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline
messages") assumed that, since the zeroeth element of the Send SGE
array always pointed to req->rl_rdmabuf, it needed to be initialized
just once. This was a valid assumption because the Send SGE array
and rl_rdmabuf both live in the same rpcrdma_req.
In a subsequent patch, the Send SGE array will be separated from the
rpcrdma_req, so the zeroeth element of the SGE array needs to be
initialized every time.

Clean up. rpcrdma_prepare_hdr_sge() sets num_sge to one, then
rpcrdma_prepare_msg_sges() sets num_sge again to the count of SGEs
it added, plus one for the header SGE just mapped in
rpcrdma_prepare_hdr_sge(). This is confusing, and nails in an
assumption about when these functions are called.
Instead, maintain a running count that both functions can update
with just the number of SGEs they have added to the SGE array.

we know that the direction of the message is "forward direction
Reply". Otherwise, the credits value in reverse direction Calls is
also used to update the forward direction credits.

I noticed that the soft IRQ thread looked pretty busy under heavy
I/O workloads. perf suggested one area that was expensive was the
queue_work() call in rpcrdma_wc_receive. That gave me some ideas.
Instead of scheduling a separate worker to process RPC Replies,
promote the Receive completion handler to IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE, and
invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler directly.
Note that the poll workqueue is single-threaded. In order to keep
memory invalidation from serializing all RPC Replies, handle any
necessary invalidation tasks in a separate multi-threaded workqueue.
This provides a two-tier scheme, similar to OS I/O interrupt
handlers: A fast interrupt handler that schedules the slow handler
and re-enables the interrupt, and a slower handler that is invoked
for any needed heavy lifting.
Benefits include:
- One less context switch for RPCs that don't register memory
- Receive completion handling is moved out of soft IRQ context to
make room for other users of soft IRQ
- The same CPU core now DMA syncs and XDR decodes the Receive buffer

Adopt the use of xprt_pin_rqst to eliminate contention between
Call-side users of rb_lock and the use of rb_lock in
rpcrdma_reply_handler.
This replaces the mechanism introduced in 431af645cf66 ("xprtrdma:
Fix client lock-up after application signal fires").
Use recv_lock to quickly find the completing rqst, pin it, then
drop the lock. At that point invalidation and pull-up of the Reply
XDR can be done. Both are often expensive operations.
Finally, take recv_lock again to signal completion to the RPC
layer. It also protects adjustment of "cwnd".
This greatly reduces the amount of time a lock is held by the
reply handler. Comparing lock_stat results shows a marked decrease
in contention on rb_lock and recv_lock.

Transport header decoding deals with untrusted input data, therefore
decoding this header needs to be hardened.
Adopt the same infrastructure that is used when XDR decoding NFS
replies. This is slightly more CPU-intensive than the replaced code,
but we're not adding new atomics, locking, or context switches. The
cost is manageable.
Start by initializing an xdr_stream in rpcrdma_reply_handler().

After a signal, the RPC client aborts synchronous RPCs running on
behalf of the signaled application.
The server is still executing those RPCs, and will write the results
back into the client's memory when it's done. By the time the server
writes the results, that memory is likely being used for other
purposes. Therefore xprtrdma has to immediately invalidate all
memory regions used by those aborted RPCs to prevent the server's
writes from clobbering that re-used memory.
With FMR memory registration, invalidation takes a relatively long
time. In fact, the invalidation is often still running when the
server tries to write the results into the memory regions that are
being invalidated.
This sets up a race between two processes:
1. After the signal, xprt_rdma_free calls ro_unmap_safe.
2. While ro_unmap_safe is still running, the server replies and
rpcrdma_reply_handler runs, calling ro_unmap_sync.
Both processes invoke ib_unmap_fmr on the same FMR.
The mlx4 driver allows two ib_unmap_fmr calls on the same FMR at
the same time, but HCAs generally don't tolerate this. Sometimes
this can result in a system crash.
If the HCA happens to survive, rpcrdma_reply_handler continues. It
removes the rpc_rqst from rq_list and releases the transport_lock.
This enables xprt_rdma_free to run in another process, and the
rpc_rqst is released while rpcrdma_reply_handler is still waiting
for the ib_unmap_fmr call to finish.
But further down in rpcrdma_reply_handler, the transport_lock is
taken again, and "rqst" is dereferenced. If "rqst" has already been
released, this triggers a general protection fault. Since bottom-
halves are disabled, the system locks up.
Address both issues by reversing the order of the xprt_lookup_rqst
call and the ro_unmap_sync call. Introduce a separate lookup
mechanism for rpcrdma_req's to enable calling ro_unmap_sync before
xprt_lookup_rqst. Now the handler takes the transport_lock once
and holds it for the XID lookup and RPC completion.

There are rare cases where an rpcrdma_req can be re-used (via
rpcrdma_buffer_put) while the RPC reply handler is still running.
This is due to a signal firing at just the wrong instant.
Since commit 9d6b04097882 ("xprtrdma: Place registered MWs on a
per-req list"), rpcrdma_mws are self-contained; ie., they fully
describe an MR and scatterlist, and no part of that information is
stored in struct rpcrdma_req.
As part of closing the above race window, pass only the req's list
of registered MRs to ro_unmap_sync, rather than the rpcrdma_req
itself.
Some extra transport header sanity checking is removed. Since the
client depends on its own recollection of what memory had been
registered, there doesn't seem to be a way to abuse this change.
And, the check was not terribly effective. If the client had sent
Read chunks, the "list_empty" test is negative in both of the
removed cases, which are actually looking for Write or Reply
chunks.

When the underlying device driver is reloaded, ia->ri_device will be

Ensure the same device that was used to map a Receive buffer is also
used to sync it in rpcrdma_wc_receive by using rg_device there
instead of rr_device.
This is the only use of rr_device, so it can be removed.
The use of regbufs in the send path is also updated, for
completeness.

Sriharsha (sriharsha.basavapatna@broadcom.com) reports an occasional
double DMA unmap of an FRWR MR when a connection is lost. I see one
way this can happen.
When a request requires more than one segment or chunk,
rpcrdma_marshal_req loops, invoking ->frwr_op_map for each segment
(MR) in each chunk. Each call posts a FASTREG Work Request to
register one MR.
Now suppose that the transport connection is lost part-way through
marshaling this request. As part of recovering and resetting that
req, rpcrdma_marshal_req invokes ->frwr_op_unmap_safe, which hands
all the req's registered FRWRs to the MR recovery thread.
But note: FRWR registration is asynchronous. So it's possible that
some of these "already registered" FRWRs are fully registered, and
some are still waiting for their FASTREG WR to complete.
When the connection is lost, the "already registered" frmrs are
marked FRMR_IS_VALID, and the "still waiting" WRs flush. Then
frwr_wc_fastreg marks these frmrs FRMR_FLUSHED_FR.
But thanks to ->frwr_op_unmap_safe, the MR recovery thread is doing
an unreg / alloc_mr, a DMA unmap, and marking each of these frwrs
FRMR_IS_INVALID, at the same time frwr_wc_fastreg might be running.
- If the recovery thread runs last, then the frmr is marked
FRMR_IS_INVALID, and life continues.
- If frwr_wc_fastreg runs last, the frmr is marked FRMR_FLUSHED_FR,
but the recovery thread has already DMA unmapped that MR. When
->frwr_op_map later re-uses this frmr, it sees it is not marked
FRMR_IS_INVALID, and tries to recover it before using it, resulting
in a second DMA unmap of the same MR.
The fix is to guarantee in-flight FASTREG WRs have flushed before MR
recovery runs on those FRWRs. Thus we depend on ro_unmap_safe
(called from xprt_rdma_send_request on retransmit, or from
xprt_rdma_free) to clean up old registrations as needed.

The MAX_SEND_SGES check introduced in commit 655fec6987be
("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages") fails
for devices that have a small max_sge.
Instead of checking for a large fixed maximum number of SGEs,
check for a minimum small number. RPC-over-RDMA will switch to
using a Read chunk if an xdr_buf has more pages than can fit in
the device's max_sge limit. This is considerably better than
failing all together to mount the server.
This fix supports devices that have as few as three send SGEs
available.

Pad optimization is changed by echoing into
/proc/sys/sunrpc/rdma_pad_optimize. This is a global setting,
affecting all RPC-over-RDMA connections to all servers.
The marshaling code picks up that value and uses it for decisions
about how to construct each RPC-over-RDMA frame. Having it change
suddenly in mid-operation can result in unexpected failures. And
some servers a client mounts might need chunk round-up, while
others don't.
So instead, copy the pad_optimize setting into each connection's
rpcrdma_ia when the transport is created, and use the copy, which
can't change during the life of the connection, instead.
This also removes a hack: rpcrdma_convert_iovs was using
the remote-invalidation-expected flag to predict when it could leave
out Write chunk padding. This is because the Linux server handles
implicit XDR padding on Write chunks correctly, and only Linux
servers can set the connection's remote-invalidation-expected flag.
It's more sensible to use the pad optimization setting instead.

When pad optimization is disabled, rpcrdma_convert_iovs still
does not add explicit XDR round-up padding to a Read chunk.
Commit 677eb17e94ed ("xprtrdma: Fix XDR tail buffer marshalling")
incorrectly short-circuited the test for whether round-up padding
is needed that appears later in rpcrdma_convert_iovs.
However, if this is indeed a regular Read chunk (and not a
Position-Zero Read chunk), the tail iovec _always_ contains the
chunk's padding, and never anything else.
So, it's easy to just skip the tail when padding optimization is
enabled, and add the tail in a subsequent Read chunk segment, if
disabled.

An RPC Call message that is sent inline but that has a data payload
(ie, one or more items in rq_snd_buf's page list) must be "pulled
up:"
- call_allocate has to reserve enough RPC Call buffer space to
accommodate the data payload
- call_transmit has to memcopy the rq_snd_buf's page list and tail
into its head iovec before it is sent
As the inline threshold is increased beyond its current 1KB default,
however, this means data payloads of more than a few KB are copied
by the host CPU. For example, if the inline threshold is increased
just to 4KB, then NFS WRITE requests up to 4KB would involve a
memcpy of the NFS WRITE's payload data into the RPC Call buffer.
This is an undesirable amount of participation by the host CPU.
The inline threshold may be much larger than 4KB in the future,
after negotiation with a peer server.
Instead of copying the components of rq_snd_buf into its head iovec,
construct a gather list of these components, and send them all in
place. The same approach is already used in the Linux server's
RPC-over-RDMA reply path.
This mechanism also eliminates the need for rpcrdma_tail_pullup,
which is used to manage the XDR pad and trailing inline content when
a Read list is present.
This requires that the pages in rq_snd_buf's page list be DMA-mapped
during marshaling, and unmapped when a data-bearing RPC is
completed. This is slightly less efficient for very small I/O
payloads, but significantly more efficient as data payload size and
inline threshold increase past a kilobyte.
