[IPoIB] Identify multicast packets and fix IGMP breakage V2

[Christoph Lameter]

Is this better?


Subject: [IPoIB] Identify Multicast packets and fix IGMP breakage V2

IGMP processing is broken because the IPOIB does not set the
skb->pkt_type the right way for Multicast traffic. All incoming
packets are set to PACKET_HOST which means that the igmp_recv()
function will ignore the IGMP broadcasts/multicasts.

This in turn means that the IGMP timers are firing and are sending
information about multicast subscriptions unnecessarily. In a large
private network this can cause traffic spikes.

I really don't think you can assume there is an ipv6 header here
at all.

You'll need to parse the encapsulated protocol and process it as
ipv4 or ipv6 as needed.

The 40 bytes at this location are defined by the HW specification to
be an IB GRH which has an identical layout to an IPv6 header. Roland
is right, it would be clearer to use ib_grh ->dgid

Ok but then we have no nice function that checks for multicast anymore.

Were you going to try it this way?

     /* First byte of dgid signals multicast/broadcast when 0xff */
     if ((wc->wc_flags & IB_WC_GRH) &&
         ((struct ib_grh *)skb->data)->dgid.raw[0] == 0xff) {
	     if (memcmp(((struct ib_grh *)skb->data)->dgid.raw,
                        dev->broadcast + 4, sizeof(union ib_gid)) == 0)
                     skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
             else
                     skb->pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST;
     }
     else
             skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;

I think doing the memcmp only in the multicast path should be
reasonable overhead wise.

Thats is not always possible. Here the multicast path is the
default path that is taken 99% of the time.

The highest cost is bringing in that packet header's cache line, which
you've already done by reading the byte and checking for 0xff.

I doubt the memcmp() can possibly matter.

And then you need to bring in the cacheline of the broadcast address....
These are pretty long byte strings in the IB case.

Shouldn't struct ib_grh be packed to make this really work?
The code looks a little messy to me anyway... 
How about using a local var which is a ptr to packed struct ib_grh? The
compiler will probably eliminate it anyway.

No idea what the kernel convention for this is. It looks OK to me, in
that no arch I am familiar with will insert padding.

This bike shed is looking pretty well painted already :)

Ok the dgid is only 8 bytes not the whole 40 bytes.... Here is the patch
somewhat cleaned up with PACKET_BROADCAST.
