[PATCH net] net/smc: Fix lookup of netdev by using ib_device_get_netdev()

[PATCH net] net/smc: Fix lookup of netdev by using ib_device_get_netdev()

[Wenjia Zhang]

Commit c2261dd76b54 ("RDMA/device: Add ib_device_set_netdev() as an
alternative to get_netdev") introduced an API ib_device_get_netdev.
The SMC-R variant of the SMC protocol continued to use the old API
ib_device_ops.get_netdev() to lookup netdev. As this commit 8d159eb2117b
("RDMA/mlx5: Use IB set_netdev and get_netdev functions") removed the
get_netdev callback from mlx5_ib_dev_common_roce_ops, calling
ib_device_ops.get_netdev didn't work any more at least by using a mlx5
device driver. Thus, using ib_device_set_netdev() now became mandatory.

Replace ib_device_ops.get_netdev() with ib_device_get_netdev().

Fixes: 54903572c23c ("net/smc: allow pnetid-less configuration")

Thanks a lot.

Reviewed-by: Zhu Yanjun <yanjun.zhu@linux.dev>

Because the commit 8d159eb2117b ("RDMA/mlx5: Use IB set_netdev and 
get_netdev functions") removes the get_netdev callback from 
mlx5_ib_dev_common_roce_ops, in mlx4, get_netdev is still in 
mlx4_ib_dev_ops. So the following commit will follow mlx5 to remove 
get_netdev from mlx4 driver.

In the commit 8d159eb2117b ("RDMA/mlx5: Use IB set_netdev and get_netdev
functions") removed the get_netdev callback from
mlx5_ib_dev_common_roce_ops, in mlx4, get_netdev callback should also
be removed.

I would say that calls to ibdev ops from ULPs was never been right
thing to do. The ib_device_set_netdev() was introduced for the drivers.

So the whole commit message is not accurate and better to be rewritten.

It is not a correct statement too. All modern drivers (for last 5 years)
don't have that .get_netdev() ops, so it is not mlx5 specific, but another
justification to say that SMC-R was doing it wrong.

ib_device_set_netdev() is mandatory for the drivers, it is nothing to do
with ULPs.

It is too late for me to do proper review for today, but I would say
that it is worth to pay attention to multiple dev_put() calls in the
functions around the ib_device_get_netdev().

It is not related to this change Fixes line.

Honestly, this patch in Fixes line doesn't look right to me. It pokes inside
of ib_device to get netdev index. For example call to smc_ib_ndev_change()
will return completely unpredictable results, due to races.

It is bad that RDMA ML wasn't even CCed back then, we would say NAK to
this patch.

Hi Leon,

Thank you for the review! I agree that SMC could do better. However, we 
should fix it and give enough information and reference on the changes, 
since the code has already existed and didn't work with the old way. I 
can rewrite the commit message.

What about:
"
The SMC-R variant of the SMC protocol still called 
ib_device_ops.get_netdev() to lookup netdev. As we used mlx5 device 
driver to run SMC-R, it failed to find a device, because in mlx5_ib the 
internal net device management for retrieving net devices was replaced 
by a common interface ib_device_get_netdev() in commit 8d159eb2117b 
("RDMA/mlx5: Use IB set_netdev and get_netdev functions"). Thus, replace 
ib_device_ops.get_netdev() with ib_device_get_netdev() in SMC.
"

The code which you change worked by chance and was wrong from day one.

 The SMC-R variant of the SMC protocol used direct call to ib_device_ops.get_netdev()
 function to lookup netdev. Such direct accesses are not correct for any
 usage outside of RDMA core code. 

 RDMA subsystem provides ib_device_get_netdev() function that works on
 all RDMA drivers returns valid netdev with proper locking an reference
 counting. The commit 8d159eb2117b ("RDMA/mlx5: Use IB set_netdev and get_netdev
 functions") exposed that SMC-R didn't use that function.

 So update the SMC-R to use proper API,

Thanks

Is such an absolute statement documented somewhere? If not, I don't 
think it's convenient that I use it. Maybe you guys as RDMA core

You can too as it is very clear. All functions which can be used have
EXPORT_SYMBOL near them, ops.get_netdev() has nothing like that.

I don't want to argue about the words, my point is that get_netdev() was

I absolutely agree with that statement. But please notice that the
commit date of commit c2261dd76b54 ("RDMA/device: Add
ib_device_set_netdev() as an alternative to get_netdev") predates the
commit date of commit 54903572c23c ("net/smc: allow pnetid-less
configuration") only by 9 days. And before commit c2261dd76b54
("RDMA/device: Add ib_device_set_netdev() as an alternative to
get_netdev") there was no 
ib_device_get_netdev() AFAICT.

Maybe the two patches crossed mid air so to say.

I agree, it is not correct since c2261dd76b54 ("RDMA/device: Add
ib_device_set_netdev() as an alternative to get_netdev").

Does fs/smb/server/transport_rdma.c qualify as inside of RDMA core code?
I would guess it is not, and I would not actually mind sending a patch
but I have trouble figuring out the logic behind  commit ecce70cf17d9
("ksmbd: fix missing RDMA-capable flag for IPoIB device in
ksmbd_rdma_capable_netdev()").

I believe the intention was this all along. I think the commit message
was written with the idea that 54903572c23c happened before c2261dd76b54
which is not the case.

I believe this is exactly what the patch does! And I agree we need to
improve on the commit message.

It doesn't make it right.

1. While commit c2261dd76b54 was submitted and discussed, RDMA was not CCed.
2. Author didn't try to add his version of ib_device_get_netdev() as it
is done for all APIs exposed by RDMA core.

RDMA core code is drivers/infiniband/core/*.

It is strange version of RDMA-CM. All other ULPs use RDMA-CM to avoid
GID, netdev and fabric complexity.

I agree!

Would the RDMA community agree with adding 
L:	linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org
to the "SHARED MEMORY COMMUNICATIONS (SMC) SOCKETS" section of the
MAINTAINERS file, so that get_maintainer.pl tells contributors to cc
RDMA?

In my personal opinion SMC would have benefited greatly from review by
the RDMA community, and this is not the first time where the RDMA
community was not included where it should have been.

I understand now that direct access to ops callbacks is off limits for
ULPs. I'm not sure I understand all the details, but I hope I don't have
to.

Understood. So this is a violation of the no direct access to the
callbacks rule.

I'm not familiar enough with either of the subsystems. Based on your
answer my guess is that it ain't outright bugous but still a layering 
violation. Copying linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org so that 
the smb are aware.

Thank you very much for all the explanations!

Yes, of course. We always curious to see how our in-kernel API works and
if it needs adjustments rather than ULP hacks to overcome its limitations.

Jakub pushes SMC authors to CC RDMA, which is great, but it wasn't in
the past and your idea of adding new entry to MAINTAINERS file will
help.

It is not rule, but more common sense. Callbacks don't provide any
module reference counting, module autoload e.t.c

It is very rare situation where you call device callbacks from one subsystem
in another. I'm not familiar with such situations.

Could you please elaborate what the violation is ?
I would also appreciate it if you could suggest to me how to fix this.

There are many, but the most screaming is that ksmbd has logic to
differentiate IPoIB devices. These devices are pure netdev devices
and should be treated like that. ULPs should treat them exactly
as they treat netdev devices.

Okay, I'll discuss with Kangjing if there's another way to avoid this issue.
If not, I'll revert the patch.
