Re: [ewg] OFA EWG Meeting Minutes

[Kalderon, Michal]

Thanks Rupert,

Sorry we could not attend. Update from Cavium:


  *   Backports for RHEL7.5 were sufficient for SLES15 as well
  *   Working on RHEL 7.4
  *   We have some issues with fastlinq binary FW installation ( currently 
working around this by manually copying
the binary into /lib/firmware ) We are working on resolving the issue with Vlad.
  *   Testing on 7.5 / Sles in the meantime looks ok.


Thanks,
Michal

[ewg] ofed-4.17 perftest

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi Vlad,

Can you please update to take latest perftest ?
Current version 4.2-0.5 has a bug which was fixed in commit:
https://github.com/linux-rdma/perftest/commit/198473181e0365f97c5840b8fd406ff52af6335b

(Fail to register MR)

[ewg] netdev_notifiers

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi Vlad, Arlin,

We had an issue with loading our net driver and found that the following is 
missing from compat/netdevice.h:

#ifdef HAVE_REGISTER_NETDEVICE_NOTIFIER_RH
#define register_netdevice_notifier register_netdevice_notifier_rh
#define unregister_netdevice_notifier unregister_netdevice_notifier_rh
#endif

This leads to a crash when getting a netdev event.

In addition, I wanted to check if this was fixed (git pull) but got the 
following message:
Fatal: unable to connect to git.openfabrics.org:
git.openfabrics.org[0: 69.55.231.76]: errno=Connection refused
(been like this since yesterday )

thanks,
Michal

Thanks Vlad,

I was referring to the fw binary file - that isn’t part of the kernel but of 
the Linux-firmware git

Thanks

Hi Michal,
If your FW is a part of the compat-rdma package and it was updated since 
linux-4.17-rc1 then the next build of OFED will include newer FW.

[ewg] CEPH and rdma-core

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi,
 
Hope someone here can help. 

I'm trying to run Ceph over OFED (specifically 4.8.2 but not sure it matters) 
I've root caused that we get invalid src gid index due to header-mismatch. 
Are you aware of whether  there  is a CEPH version compatible with OFED / 
rdma-core If not -> what's the process? Does CEPH need to be recompiled against 
rdma-core header?

Thanks,
Michal

[Kalderon, Michal]

Thanks for the quick response.

Perhaps it should be documented in a more generic  way, as this is not only 
related to openibd
But to all drivers part of the initrd. 

And for next versions, maybe it should be part of the build script ? with 
dracut -f --add-drivers  for every driver in compat-rdma?

Thanks,
Michal

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi Vlad and All, 

During soft-forge testing of the package containing the fixes, we hit a 
different issue which I believe could affect all vendors

The problem is when drivers are part of the initramfs/initrd of the distro as 
they come inbox. 
In our case qed/qede are inbox, but qedr is not. Meaning that qed/qede are in 
initrd and loaded automatically with older version
than the one installed by OFED. Then when qedr is probed there is a mismatch, 
as the OFED qedr version is newer and incompatible.
If the qedr was inbox as well, we probably wouldn't have even noticed that OFED 
drivers aren't loaded.
(they will be loaded only after an rmmod of all qed drivers and modprobe )

In our Out-of-box installation scripts, we update the initramfs with the newly 
compiled drivers. I'd expect to see the same at the end of an OFED build
( dracut -f / update initrd, mkinitrd etc... for example ) 

We could just document this for the user to rebuild the ramfs after OFED 
installation. 
I'm not sure how this didn't come up until now, I've looked a bit on our setups 
and noticed that a lot have omit-drivers in the lsinitrd or older drivers that
We're installed etc... this is easy to miss. In addition, the only reason we 
did hit this is because the inbox / ofed drivers are mismatched... 

Thanks,
Michal

Re: [ewg] OFA EWG Meeting: Monday, Feb 26, 2017, 09:00 AM US Pacific Time (12pm EST) - Minutes

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi Arlin, 

We've been working with Brendan on this and were able to reproduce on our 
setups fix, and test locally. 
There are three commits (2 fix the issue and 1 fix was exposed that our data 
collection had an issue)
2 out of the 3 fixes have already been upstream in official linux revisions. 
one of the fixes can't go through
next as is as the code varies quite a bit.

Brendan will only be able to fully verify the fix Monday / Tuesday. 

The commits that need to be pulled are in my github: 

https://github.com/mkalderon/ofed-compat-rdma/commit/f20134d8f4736c6ce30975bb920cf64c2ec4248d
https://github.com/mkalderon/ofed-compat-rdma/commit/171235eb14bf2a7bccd28650470c44807ea644e4
https://github.com/mkalderon/ofed-compat-rdma/commit/4c5949ba5d075d814e30dc18bd4cdd71b45c972f

I would prefer Brendan gave this a test before rc-3. But I understand we're on 
a tight timeframe. 

thanks,
Michal

Quick update on RC3….

Broadcom has all critical bugs fixed and included in a new daily build. Thanks!
http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/ofed-4.8-2-daily/OFED-4.8-2-20180228-1121.tgz


Our final blocking item is a critical “perftest hang” issue on a Cavium QL45412 
RoCE adapter.

Bug 2674<http://bugs.openfabrics.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2674> “Unable to 
complete RDMA applications (perftest)”.

Michal, can we please get an ETA for the fix or a “won’t fix” disposition so we 
can push forward with RC3?

Regards,

Arlin

I updated the Bug but left it assigned to me -> not sure who I’m supposed to 
assign it to at this point?

Hi Vlad,

When do changes need to be provided as a patch in linux-next-cherry-pick and 
when can they be made a fix
directly on the driver files in linux-4.8 or in compat-rdma?

Hi

We're seeing an issue on SLES12SP3 with modifying mtu.


linux-p4eo:~ # ifconfig eth7 mtu 9000

SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument

Dmesg: eth7: Invalid MTU 9000 requested, hw max 1500

We've seen this with other vendor devices as well.
Chelsio reported an issue in the past regarding MTU change,
But I didn't see any related bugs open or discussions.

Has this been discussed since?

>>2. New bugs:  True Scale qib bonding issue on RH 7.4, SLES 12.1 and 12.2 - 
>>Need update from Bill Schmidt (Intel)

Bug 2664<http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2664> - Bonding doesn't 
work on RHEL 7.4

Bonding driver form RHEL 7.4 has integrated commit: 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b5bf0f5b16b9c316c34df9f31d4be8729eb86845

This requires ipoib driver to return correct speed and duplex mode.  Commit 
adding this feature on ipoib driver:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/0d7e2d2166f6b0b7d1959ca858052a15feb574cc
 was added in 4.12 kernel, so it is missing from OFED 4.8 compat-rdma.

In consequence Bonding driver cannot retrieve required data and fails.

Bug 2665<http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2665> - Bonding causes 
kernel panic on SLES 12.1 and SLES 12.2

Bonding driver from SLES 12.1/12.2 is missing kernel panic fix commit: 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1533e77315220dc1d5ec3bd6d9fe32e2aa0a74c0

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi

We're seeing an issue on SLES12SP3 with modifying mtu.


linux-p4eo:~ # ifconfig eth7 mtu 9000

SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument

Dmesg: eth7: Invalid MTU 9000 requested, hw max 1500

We've seen this with other vendor devices as well.
Chelsio reported an issue in the past regarding MTU change,
But I didn't see any related bugs open or discussions.

Has this been discussed since?
Attaching relevant email

Thanks,
Michal

Bill, thanks for the update. Do you need Vlad's help getting these fixes into 
OFED 4.8 compat-rdma?

>>2. New bugs:  True Scale qib bonding issue on RH 7.4, SLES 12.1 and 12.2 - 
>>Need update from Bill Schmidt (Intel)

Bug 2664 - Bonding doesn't 
work on RHEL 7.4

Bonding driver form RHEL 7.4 has integrated commit: 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b5bf0f5b16b9c316c34df9f31d4be8729eb86845

This requires ipoib driver to return correct speed and duplex mode.  Commit 
adding this feature on ipoib driver:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/0d7e2d2166f6b0b7d1959ca858052a15feb574cc
 was added in 4.12 kernel, so it is missing from OFED 4.8 compat-rdma.

In consequence Bonding driver cannot retrieve required data and fails.

Bug 2665 - Bonding causes 
kernel panic on SLES 12.1 and SLES 12.2

Bonding driver from SLES 12.1/12.2 is missing kernel panic fix commit: 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1533e77315220dc1d5ec3bd6d9fe32e2aa0a74c0

added in linux kernel 4.8. This makes it incompatible with ipoib drivers from 
OFED 4.8 compat-rdma.
