mlx4_dev_info_get calls mlx4_get_ifname, but mlx4_get_ifname
uses priv->ctx which is not a valid pointer in a secondary
process. The fix is to cache the value in primary.

In the primary process, get and store the interface index of
the device so that secondary process can see it.

Hi, Stephen

>mlx5_get_ifname uses priv->ctx which is not a valid pointer in a secondary process.

1. Sorry, mlx5_priv structure does not contain ctx field.  Do you mean priv->sh  (shared context) ?
This one is allocated with rte_zmalloc(), that supposes shared memory allocation and shared
context structure should be valid within secondary process context.

It seems there is another issue - mlx5_get_ifname() uses priv->nl_socket_rdma
which is process-specific socket handle (fd), so routine may fail.

2. Generally I'm OK with caching ifindex in priv structure - it seems the ifindex is permanent 
throughout interface lifetime. The mlx5_dev_spawn has a parameter mlx5_dev_spawn_data *spawn,
it contains the successfully queried ifindex of the device being spawned - no need to query again.

The cached valued should be retrieved by mlx5_ifindex() routine and  mlx5_get_ifname()
should be refactored to use mlx5_ifindex().

WBR,
Slava

In mlx5 PMD the associated device index is retrieved via Netlink request to
underlying Infiniband device driver. This network device index is permanent
throughout the lifetime of device. We do not spawn the rte_eth_dev ports
without associated network device, and if network device is being unbound
we get the remove notification event message and rte_eth_dev port is also
detached. So, we may store the ifindex in mlx5_device_spawn() routine at
rte_eth_dev port creation and initialization time and use the cached
value further instead of doing actual Netlink request.

This approach allows the query API routines like mlx5_link_update to be
thread-safe due to Netlink request elimination. mlx5_link_update() may
be called in asynchronous event handler concurrently and it may cause
application hang.

This patch extends and updates the [1].

This reverts commit e28111ac9864af09e826241a915dfff87a9c00ad.
The netlink requests are replaced by ifindex caching and
not needed anymore.

This correct, but overkill.

1. The comment is way too wordy. Please stick to only a couple of lines.
   If you feel more explanation is necessary put that in the commit log.
   
2. It is perfectly okay to return 0 as a value in dev_info.
   Therefore the assert is unnecessary.

3. Where is "Reported-by:"

4. What was wrong with my simpler patch?

Can mlx5 drop dependency o netlink (libmnl)?

What do you mean?  Dependency on libmnl is already dropped.
The few remaining Netlink requests do not use libmnl (but does libnl).

With best regards, Slava

Good to see, libnl is quite large, it would be good to drop that
(or use libmnl instead).

I'd prefer to see the issue description in the source,  not by searching the git log
for the appropriate commit. But OK, it does not matter.

>    Therefore the assert is unnecessary.

Valid network interface index cannot be zero. For example, if_nametoindex()
returns zero in case of error. Also, in mlx5 we do not spawn ports without attached
network interfaces. Assert is not related to dev_info, it checks whether
the mlx5_dev_spawn() is called with valid ifindex for valid port (ifindex checked
against zero to validate infiniband port is active). We need this assert here.

> 3. Where is "Reported-by:"
It is in cover letter:
"Proposed-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>"
 Sorry, I forgot to add this one in commit message, will fix.

> 4. What was wrong with my simpler patch?
Please, see the cover letter. Your patch fixes only the part of problem -
the mlx5_dev_infos_get(). But it is just the case of unsafe mlx5_ifindex() usage.
mlx5_ifindex() itself must be fixed instead.

WBR, Slava

Will your patch be backported to stable?
It is critical that primary/secondary work on older releases.

Quite possible.
Is there the full-featured secondary processes support in 18.11 LTS?
I think it's worth to recheck the hotplug feature in 18.11 to avoid
ifindex unexpected change (try to unbound/rebound network device from/to PCI one,
check whether it is disabled/rejected, etc).

With best regards, Slava

In mlx5 PMD the associated device index is retrieved via Netlink request to
underlying Infiniband device driver. This network device index is permanent
throughout the lifetime of device. We do not spawn the rte_eth_dev ports
without associated network device, and if network device is being unbound
we get the remove notification event message and rte_eth_dev port is also
detached. So, we may store the ifindex in mlx5_device_spawn() routine at
rte_eth_dev port creation and initialization time and use the cached
value further instead of doing actual Netlink request.

This approach allows the query API routines like mlx5_link_update to be
thread-safe due to Netlink request elimination. mlx5_link_update() may
be called in asynchronous event handler concurrently and it may cause
application hang.

This patch extends and updates the [1].

This reverts commit e28111ac9864af09e826241a915dfff87a9c00ad.
The netlink requests are replaced by ifindex caching and
not needed anymore.

Hi Stephen,

Can you please confirm that Slava's patch fixed your issue and this patch is not needed anymore for MLX5?
So that I can take mlx4 patch only from this series?

Kindest regards,

OK, but my other concern is that mlx5 patch will not backport cleanly to stable.

Hi Stephen, 

Wrong headline format:
        net/mlx4: fix crash in dev_info_get in secondary process
can you please fix it? You shouldn't use the _ in the title format

Kindest regards,
Raslan Darawsheh
