[PATCH rdma-rc 0/2] RDMA fixes for 4.15

[Leon Romanovsky]

There are two fixes, one from Daniel fixes iWARP regression
caused by SELinux patches and another from Moni to create PSN
according to IBTA specification.

The patches are available in the git repository at:
  git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git tags/rdma-rc-2017-11-21

	Thanks

[PATCH rdma-rc 1/2] IB/core: Only enforce security for InfiniBand

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@mellanox.com>

For now the only LSM security enforcement mechanism available is
specific to InfiniBand. Bypass enforcement for non-IB link types.
This fixes a regression where modify_qp fails for iWARP because
querying the PKEY returns -EINVAL.

What happens if we have mixed port types?
I believe mlx4 can expose two ports where each port uses a different ll protocol.
Was that changed?

We will have is_ib set and qp_sec will be allocated on device layer and
not on port level, but because pkeys are IB specific term (at least, I
didn't find any mentioning in RoCE spec), the modify_qp won't query
for PKEYS.

It is still true.

What is port level for qp_sec?

I just gave mlx4 as an example, but I was talking more about the ability of the RDMA
subsystem to support mixed port types, so in this case, if in the future a vendor
will come with an ib_device with 2 ports, one is IB and one is iWARP bad things will happen.

If any port on the device is IB security is enforced on all QPs because a QP could eventually be modified to an IB port. The primary motivation was to fix a regression in iWARP, which has no concept of PKeys, queries of the PKey cache always returned -EINVAL.  There is a valid PKey cache for RoCE, so it's doesn't suffer the same issue, but this will benefit an all RoCE port device by eliminating the overhead of security enforcement.  If there is ever a multiport device that mixes iWARP and IB this would be a problem, but I don't see that happening.

That will never be allowed.

Even mixing roce and IB on the same device should be banned, IMHO.

If APM does not work between the ports then they do not belong on the
same device.

You say never be allowed, I say code talks, and in the code we don't have this restriction.
maybe we should add something?

LSM security enforcement should only take place on IB devices, Daniel's comment even says that:

> +	/* If this isn't an IB device don't create the security context */
> +	if (!is_ib)
> +		return 0;

but how do we define an ib device with different port types?
also while today we only deal with pkeys (if I remember currently) in the future
we might add other bits, and those bits might not play nicely in the that configuration.

Maybe we should make sure all the ports are IB, and if not, flag it to the user (dmesg?)

I say that because I will NAK any attempt to merge such a driver.

I'd welcome patches to encforce this restriction in the core.

I would welcome this patch too.

Will this break any mellanox drivers?

The only warning that would make sense is if the mixed ports aren't all IB or RoCE. As you note, CX-3 can mix those two, we don't want to see warnings about that.

I would really like to see cx3 be changed to not do that, then we
could finalize this issue upstream: All device ports must be the same
protocol.

I don't see the point of such artificial limitation, the users who
brought CX-3 have option to work in mixed mode and IMHO it is not right
to deprecate such ability just because it is hard for us to code for it.

I don't really think it is really too user visible.. Only the device
and port number change, but only if running in mixed mode.

It is not just 'hard for us' it is impossible to reconcile the
differences between ports when enforcing device level things.

This keeps coming up again and again..

Ahh, correct me if I'm wrong, you are proposing to split mlx4_ib devices
to two devices once it is configured in mixed mode, so everyone will
have one port only. Did I understand you correctly?

Right, but only for mixed mode. dual port roce or dual port ib is not
altered.

We use cx-3 (& cx-4 & cx-5) in mixed mode all over our RDMA cluster.
Loosing that feature is not an option.

Which would require splitting resources that are shared now? other splitting issue(s)?

A change like this would be almost transparent to most users. The cx3
card in mixed mode will look like a mlx5 card does: two single port
RDMA devices.

I think only a minimal amount of stuff is actually shared between
ports, and as cx5 already demonstrates there isn't really a notable
downside to having two kernel RDMA devices.

CX4+ cards have completely different HW architecture in opposite to CX3,
and mlx5 implementation doesn't mean that your suggestion is doable for
mlx4. It worth to check it.

Please drop this patch, I mistakenly cut it.
It doesn't contain the whole fix now, I'll respin.
