      IB/mlx4: pass SMP vendor-specific attribute MADs to firmware · 6e6be14c
      Jack Morgenstein authored
      commit a6f7feae upstream.
      
      In the current code, vendor-specific MADs (e.g with the FDR-10
      attribute) are silently dropped by the driver, resulting in timeouts
      at the sending side and inability to query/configure the relevant
      feature.  However, the ConnectX firmware is able to handle such MADs.
      For unsupported attributes, the firmware returns a GET_RESPONSE MAD
      containing an error status.
      
      For example, for a FDR-10 node with LID 11:
      
          # ibstat mlx4_0 1
      
          CA: 'mlx4_0'
          Port 1:
          State: Active
          Physical state: LinkUp
          Rate: 40 (FDR10)
          Base lid: 11
          LMC: 0
          SM lid: 24
          Capability mask: 0x02514868
          Port GUID: 0x0002c903002e65d1
          Link layer: InfiniBand
      
      Extended Port Query (EPI) vendor mad timeouts before the patch:
      
          # smpquery MEPI 11 -d
      
          ibwarn: [4196] smp_query_via: attr 0xff90 mod 0x0 route Lid 11
          ibwarn: [4196] _do_madrpc: retry 1 (timeout 1000 ms)
          ibwarn: [4196] _do_madrpc: retry 2 (timeout 1000 ms)
          ibwarn: [4196] _do_madrpc: timeout after 3 retries, 3000 ms
          ibwarn: [4196] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 11)
          smpquery: iberror: [pid 4196] main: failed: operation EPI: ext port info query failed
      
      EPI query works OK with the patch:
      
          # smpquery MEPI 11 -d
      
          ibwarn: [6548] smp_query_via: attr 0xff90 mod 0x0 route Lid 11
          ibwarn: [6548] mad_rpc: data offs 64 sz 64
