Linux kernel source tree

A CM REJ packet with its reason equal to timeout is a special beast in the
sense that it doesn't have a Remote Communication ID nor does it have a
Remote Port GID.
Using CX-3 virtual functions, either from a bare-metal machine or
pass-through from a VM, MAD packets are proxied through the PF driver.
Since the VF drivers have separate name spaces for MAD Transaction Ids
(TIDs), the PF driver has to re-map the TIDs and keep the book keeping
in a cache.
This proxying doesn't not handle said REJ packets.
If the active side abandons its connection attempt after having sent a
REQ, it will send a REJ with the reason being timeout. This example can be
provoked by a simple user-verbs program, which ends up doing:
rdma_connect(cm_id, &conn_param);
rdma_destroy_id(cm_id);
using the async librdmacm API.
Having dynamic debug prints enabled in the mlx4_ib driver, we will then
see:
mlx4_ib_demux_cm_handler: Couldn't find an entry for pv_cm_id 0x0, attr_id 0x12
The solution is to introduce a radix-tree. When a REQ packet is received
and handled in mlx4_ib_demux_cm_handler(), we know the connecting peer's
para-virtual cm_id and the destination slave. We then insert an entry into
the tree with said information. We also schedule work to remove this entry
from the tree and free it, in order to avoid memory leak.
When a REJ packet with reason timeout is received, we can look up the
slave in the tree, and deliver the packet to the correct slave.
When a duplicate REQ packet is received, the entry is in the tree. In this
case, we adjust the delayed work in order to avoid a too premature
eviction of the entry.
When cleaning up, we simply traverse the tree and modify any delayed work
to use a zero delay. A subsequent flush of the system_wq will ensure all
entries being wiped out.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
