These eth_dev_ops handlers should run only in the primary process.
- filter_ctrl
- reta_update
- rss_hash_update
- set_mc_addr_list
- udp_tunnel_port_add
- udp_tunnel_port_del

Fixes: 8d496995346c ("net/enic: support multicast filtering")
Fixes: 8a4efd17410c ("net/enic: add handlers to add/delete vxlan port number")

Only the primary process initializes the adapter private data and
rte_eth_dev_data. For secondary processes, do not touch them.

Secondary processes need to select the right Tx and Rx handlers. Pick
the same handlers that the primary process uses.

Both primary and secondary processes may call the queue start/stop,
link update handlers. These functions use the rte_eth_dev pointer
cached in the adapter private data (struct enic). But, this pointer is
valid only in the primary process, as rte_eth_dev addresses may differ
in different processes. Using that cached pointer in secondary
processes leads to a crash.

For the link update handler (enic_link_update), use the rte_eth_dev
pointer passed down from the rte layer as it is valid in the current
process. For the queue start/stop handlers (enic_start_wq and
friends), cache the rte_eth_dev_data pointer in the adapter private
data, and use that. rte_eth_dev_data is in shared memory and its
address is same across processes.

Fixes: 837e68ae94a2 ("net/enic: fix queue stop and start")
Fixes: cf8d9826b7be ("net/enic: extract code for checking link status")

I remember we have similar talk with John in the past about these secondary
application checks in ethdev_ops.

I would like to understand why these checks required only in enic, can you
please describe your use case?
Is there any reason secondary application can't change configuration of the
device, or are you updating your driver to work with specific application?

Hi,

No fundamental reasons why secondary processes cannot run these
handlers. These checks are to make it clear that it is not safe to do
so at the moment. It is a software limitation.

The firmware API (devcmd) we use to configure NIC settings assumes one
user executing one command at a time. And, many of the handlers in the
driver also assume primary process. The firmware itself has
enough checks to prevent concurrent devcmd attempts from corrupting
its internal state. But, host processes can get confused. For example,
process A gets process B's results, or overwrites B's devcmd, etc.

I believe these issues are all fixable in the driver. We could use
locks in shared memory to serialize devcmd (though risky), fix
handlers that assume primary process, and so on. It is a to-do item for
this driver and would require its own patch series (e.g. allow
secondary processes to run X, Y, Z safely)..

Thanks.
-Hyong

What you have described is valid concern for all drivers, that synchronization
has been pushed to the application level.

I don't see the point of just putting protection to only one driver.

And as a alternative, what do you think about having a check in the prob for the
secondary process and assign a subset of the ethdev_ops in that case? This makes
 more clear what is supported in the secondary process, and it prevents putting
secondary process checks everywhere.

Hi,

Okay, that sounds reasonable. Could you drop this one patch and apply
the rest in the series? I may not have time to properly re-do this one
in this cycle..

Thanks!

OK, will mark 1/3 as "Change Requested" and continue with others. Thanks.
