      IB/qib: Prevent double completions after a timeout or RNR error · c0af2c05
      Mike Marciniszyn authored 
      

There is a double completion associated with error handling for RC QPs.

The sequence is:

 - The do_rc_ack() routine fields an RNR nack and there are 0
   rnr_retries configured on the QP.
 - qib_error_qp() stops the pending timer
 - qib_rc_send_complete() is called from sdma_complete()
 - qib_rc_send_complete() starts the timer because the msb of the psn
   just completed says an ack is needed.
 - a bunch of flushes occur as ipoib posts WQEs to an error'ed QP
 - rc_timeout() calls qib_restart_rc()
 - qib_restart_rc() calls qib_send_complete() with a
   IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR on a wqe that has already been completed in the
   past

The fix avoids starting the timer since another packet will never
arrive.

      IB/qib: Fix double add_timer() · 414ed90c
      Mike Marciniszyn authored 
      

The following panic BUG_ON occurs during qib testing:

    Kernel BUG at include/linux/timer.h:82

    RIP  [<ffffffff881f7109>] :ib_qib:start_timer+0x73/0x89
     RSP <ffffffff80425bd0>
     <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
     <0>Dumping qib trace buffer from panic
    qib_set_lid INFO: IB0:1 got a lid: 0xf8
    Done dumping qib trace buffer
    BUG: warning at kernel/panic.c:137/panic() (Tainted: G

The flaw is due to a missing state test when processing responses that
results in an add_timer() call when the same timer is already queued.
This code was executing in parallel with a QP destroy on another CPU
that had changed the state to reset, but the missing test caused to
response handling code to run on into the panic.

      kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14
      David Rientjes authored 
      

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

      RDMA: Update workqueue usage · f0626710
      Tejun Heo authored 
      

* ib_wq is added, which is used as the common workqueue for infiniband
  instead of the system workqueue.  All system workqueue usages
  including flush_scheduled_work() callers are converted to use and
  flush ib_wq.

* cancel_delayed_work() + flush_scheduled_work() converted to
  cancel_delayed_work_sync().

* qib_wq is removed and ib_wq is used instead.

This is to prepare for deprecation of flush_scheduled_work().
