Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-20 Thread Vladimir Sokolovsky 
SRP is included already in OFED-4.8 as a part of linux-4.8 kernel and I 
don't see any reason to include SRP code twice.
If some bug fixes have to be added there then there is a specific place 
in compat-rdma git tree for the relevant patches.
If somebody is interested to add an additional SRP standalone package 
then please send me the relevant patches for compat-rdma/ofed_scripts 
and build git trees.


Regards,
Vladimir

Hello Arlin,

Adding a URL to the OFED README is not the same as including a version of
the ib_srp-backport driver in OFED. How can OFED users know what version
of the ib_srp-backport driver has been tested in combination with which OFED
version?

Thanks,

Bart.

Hello Arlin and Robert,

A backported version of the 4.11 ib_srp driver that already has been
tested is available at https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport.
That driver builds fine against kernel.org kernels, RHEL/CentOS
kernels, openSuSE and SLES kernels and also against MOFED and OFED.
Has it already been considered to use that code base instead of
duplicating the backporting effort of the ib_srp driver?

Thanks,

Bart.

Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-20 Thread Bart Van Assche 
Hello Arlin and Robert,

A backported version of the 4.11 ib_srp driver that already has been
tested is available at https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport.
That driver builds fine against kernel.org kernels, RHEL/CentOS kernels,
openSuSE and SLES kernels and also against MOFED and OFED. Has it
already been considered to use that code base instead of duplicating the
backporting effort of the ib_srp driver?

Thanks,

Bart.

The upstream test was for Bug 2631, SRP Reject Issue. The Base OS was SL 7.3 
(not SL 7.2) w/ OFED 4.8-rc4 and the ib_srp_backport_4_11. That combination 
worked properly.

I tested SL 7.2 with OFED 4.8-rc4. Scanning SRP targets yielded the following 
response:

Ok, so this is a kernel.org 4.8 base SRP driver backported to 3.10.
Can someone tell me if the same problem exists with upstream SRP driver in 
kernel 4.8?
This will tell me if it is an OFED 4.8 backport issue or if it is a kernel 
4.8 SRP driver issue.

ib_srp: Sending CM DREQ failed and the SRP targets were never scanned. (See Bug 
2632. http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2632)

I attempted to use Bart Van Assche’s ib_srp_backport driver on top of SL 7.2 
and OFED 4.8-rc4 according to his instructions. The ib_srp_backport driver 
failed to compile (see attached text file). The ib_srp_backport driver will not 
compile with OFED 4.8-rc4 installed. I was able to uninstall OFED 4.8-rc4, then 
compile the driver. However, when OFED 4.8-rc4 was reinstalled, the 
ib_srp_backport driver was not compatible.

Ok, I think I understand.
This is the upstream test that you said passed? A SL 
7.2+infiniband+ib_srp_backport_from_4.11?
Correct?

That’s all of the testing , so far.

Sorry, I am still trying to understand what is working and what is needed to 
fix this for OFED 4.8.

When you said you tested the upstream kernel, was it SL 7.2 kernel plus the 
backports from Bart’s 4.11 drop? Do you need the 4.11 kernel base driver set 
for SRP to work properly?

No upstream kernel. SL 7.2 (3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64), OFED-4.8-rc4. Was unable to 
build the backport ib_srp backport driver on this platform with OFED 4.8-rc4 
installed. Multiple build errors. However, if I uninstall OFED-4.8-rc4, I am 
able to build the upstream ib_srp RPMs on SL 7.2

Backport ib_srp driver obtained by the following mechanism:

git clone https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport.git

Marty,

What upstream kernel did you use to verify SRP? Was it on a 4.8 base or 
something newer? If newer, maybe we are missing some key SRP fixes in our OFED 
4.8 kernel base.

Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-20 Thread Marty Schlining 
No upstream kernel. SL 7.2 (3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64), OFED-4.8-rc4. Was unable to 
build the backport ib_srp backport driver on this platform with OFED 4.8-rc4 
installed. Multiple build errors. However, if I uninstall OFED-4.8-rc4, I am 
able to build the upstream ib_srp RPMs on SL 7.2

Backport ib_srp driver obtained by the following mechanism:

git clone https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport.git

Marty,

What upstream kernel did you use to verify SRP? Was it on a 4.8 base or 
something newer? If newer, maybe we are missing some key SRP fixes in our OFED 
4.8 kernel base.

Thanks, Arlin

I do not think this is an acceptable workaround. An SRP target could have many 
hosts connected (IO nodes), not just the one that may have been abruptly 
rebooted (due to a power failure or pulled power cord). Are you suggesting that 
customers must reboot all of the IO nodes in their cluster attached to the SRP 
target and the SRP target as a workaround thereby taking the entire file system 
offline?

The backported ib_srp driver has a defect where it is not handling an 
SRP_Reject properly leaving a null pointer for the blk_mq driver. Normally, 
this would just be a note in the log and the srp_daemon could be setup to 
attempt a reconnect after 30 seconds. But, that is no longer possible with the 
current defect. The host would crash and reboot every time a connection is 
attempted.

Ok, so it’s safe to say we are missing some bug fixes after kernel.org 4.8.

+Amir, to help isolate and validate.

The upstream test was for Bug 2631, SRP Reject Issue. The Base OS was SL 7.3 
(not SL 7.2) w/ OFED 4.8-rc4 and the ib_srp_backport_4_11. That combination 
worked properly.

Subject: RE: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

I tested SL 7.2 with OFED 4.8-rc4. Scanning SRP targets yielded the following 
response:

Ok, so this is a kernel.org 4.8 base SRP driver backported to 3.10.
Can someone tell me if the same problem exists with upstream SRP driver in 
kernel 4.8?
This will tell me if it is an OFED 4.8 backport issue or if it is a kernel 
4.8 SRP driver issue.

ib_srp: Sending CM DREQ failed and the SRP targets were never scanned. (See Bug 
2632. http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2632)

I attempted to use Bart Van Assche’s ib_srp_backport driver on top of SL 7.2 
and OFED 4.8-rc4 according to his instructions. The ib_srp_backport driver 
failed to compile (see attached text file). The ib_srp_backport driver will not 
compile with OFED 4.8-rc4 installed. I was able to uninstall OFED 4.8-rc4, then 
compile the driver. However, when OFED 4.8-rc4 was reinstalled, the 
ib_srp_backport driver was not compatible.

Ok, I think I understand.
This is the upstream test that you said passed? A SL 
7.2+infiniband+ib_srp_backport_from_4.11?
Correct?

That’s all of the testing , so far.

Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-20 Thread Davis, Arlin R 
Bart and Vlad,

What is the best way to pull in 4.11 fixes into OFED 4.8?
Looks like a lot of changes between 4.8 and 4.11.

I updated the bug with the below comment:

I'm not sure if this ib_srp-backport patch is related, but it worth to take a 
look.

IB/srp: Improve an error path
Avoid that the following message is printed if login fails: scsi host0: ib_srp: 
Sending CM DREQ failed

Sorry, I am still trying to understand what is working and what is needed to 
fix this for OFED 4.8.

When you said you tested the upstream kernel, was it SL 7.2 kernel plus the 
backports from Bart’s 4.11 drop? Do you need the 4.11 kernel base driver set 
for SRP to work properly?
