From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Leon Romanovsky Subject: [PATCH rdma-next] IB/core: Add ordered workqueue for RoCE GID management Date: Tue, 30 May 2017 09:58:06 +0300 Message-ID: <20170530065806.6245-1-leon@kernel.org> Return-path: Sender: linux-rdma-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: Doug Ledford Cc: linux-rdma-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, Majd Dibbiny List-Id: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org From: Majd Dibbiny Currently the RoCE GID management uses the ib_wq to do add and delete new GIDs according to the netdev events. The ib_wq isn't an ordered workqueue and thus two work elements can be executed concurrently which will result in unexpected behavior and inconsistency of the GIDs cache content. Example: ifconfig eth1 11.11.11.11/16 up This command will invoke the following netdev events in the following order: 1. NETDEV_UP 2. NETDEV_DOWN 3. NETDEV_UP If (2) and (3) will be executed concurrently or in reverse order, instead of having a new GID with 11.11.11.11 IP, we will end up without any new GIDs.
