Subject: [PATCH] IB/cache: update gid cache on client reregister event
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2025 14:07:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aVUfsO58QIDn5bGX@eaujamesFR0130> (raw)

Some HCAs (e.g: ConnectX4) do not trigger a IB_EVENT_GID_CHANGE on
subnet prefix update from SM (PortInfo).

Since the d58c23c92548, the GID cache is updated exclusively on
IB_EVENT_GID_CHANGE. If this event is not emitted, the subnet prefix
in the IPoIB interface’s hardware address remains set to its default
value (0xfe80000000000000).
Then rdma_bind_addr() failed because it relies on hardware address to
find the port GID (subnet_prefix + port GUID).

This patch fixes this issue by updating the GID cache on
IB_EVENT_CLIENT_REREGISTER event (emitted on
PortInfo::ClientReregister=1).

Fixes: d58c23c92548 ("IB/core: Only update PKEY and GID caches onrespective events")
