      xprtrdma: Fix BUG after a device removal · e89e8d8f
      Chuck Lever authored
      Michal Kalderon reports a BUG that occurs just after device removal:
      
      [  169.112490] rpcrdma: removing device qedr0 for 192.168.110.146:20049
      [  169.143909] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010
      [  169.181837] IP: rpcrdma_dma_unmap_regbuf+0xa/0x60 [rpcrdma]
      
      The RPC/RDMA client transport attempts to allocate some resources
      on demand. Registered buffers are one such resource. These are
      allocated (or re-allocated) by xprt_rdma_allocate to hold RPC Call
      and Reply messages. A hardware resource is associated with each of
      these buffers, as they can be used for a Send or Receive Work
      Request.
      
      If a device is removed from under an NFS/RDMA mount, the transport
      layer is responsible for releasing all hardware resources before
      the device can be finally unplugged. A BUG results when the NFS
      mount hasn't yet seen much activity: the transport tries to release
      resources that haven't yet been allocated.
      
      rpcrdma_free_regbuf() already checks for this case, so just move
      that check to cover the DEVICE_REMOVAL case as well.

      xprtrdma: Fix calculation of ri_max_send_sges · 1179e2c2
      Chuck Lever authored
      Commit 16f906d6 ("xprtrdma: Reduce required number of send
      SGEs") introduced the rpcrdma_ia::ri_max_send_sges field. This fixes
      a problem where xprtrdma would not work if the device's max_sge
      capability was small (low single digits).
      
      At least RPCRDMA_MIN_SEND_SGES are needed for the inline parts of
      each RPC. ri_max_send_sges is set to this value:
      
        ia->ri_max_send_sges = max_sge - RPCRDMA_MIN_SEND_SGES;
      
      Then when marshaling each RPC, rpcrdma_args_inline uses that value
      to determine whether the device has enough Send SGEs to convey an
      NFS WRITE payload inline, or whether instead a Read chunk is
      required.
      
      More recently, commit ae72950a ("xprtrdma: Add data structure to
      manage RDMA Send arguments") used the ri_max_send_sges value to
      calculate the size of an array, but that commit erroneously assumed
      ri_max_send_sges contains a value similar to the device's max_sge,
      and not one that was reduced by the minimum SGE count.
      
      This assumption results in the calculated size of the sendctx's
      Send SGE array to be too small. When the array is used to marshal
      an RPC, the code can write Send SGEs into the following sendctx
      element in that array, corrupting it. When the device's max_sge is
      large, this issue is entirely harmless; but it results in an oops
      in the provider's post_send method, if dev.attrs.max_sge is small.
      
      So let's straighten this out: ri_max_send_sges will now contain a
      value with the same meaning as dev.attrs.max_sge, which makes
      the code easier to understand, and enables rpcrdma_sendctx_create
      to calculate the size of the SGE array correctly.
