This patch fixes the problem below. The problem can be reproduced by the
following steps:
1) Connecting all HiNIC interfaces
2) On server side
# sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.1 up #Using MLX CX4 card
# iperf -s
3) On client side
# sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.2 up #Using our HiNIC card
# iperf -c 192.168.101.1 -P 10 -t 100000
after hours of testing, we will see errors:
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
hinic 0000:05:00.0: No MGMT msg handler, mod = 0
The errors are caused by the following problem.
1) The hinic_get_wqe() checks the "wq->delta" to allocate new WQEs:
if (atomic_sub_return(num_wqebbs, &wq->delta) <= 0) {
atomic_add(num_wqebbs, &wq->delta);
return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY);
}
If the WQE occupies multiple pages, the shadow WQE will be used. Then the
hinic_xmit_frame() fills the WQE.
2) While in parallel with 1), the free_tx_poll() checks the "wq->delta"
to free old WQEs:
if ((atomic_read(&wq->delta) + num_wqebbs) > wq->q_depth)
return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY);
There is a probability that the shadow WQE which hinic_xmit_frame() is
using will be damaged by copy_wqe_to_shadow():
if (curr_pg != end_pg) {
void *shadow_addr = &wq->shadow_wqe[curr_pg * wq->max_wqe_size];
copy_wqe_to_shadow(wq, shadow_addr, num_wqebbs, *cons_idx);
return shadow_addr;
}
This can cause WQE data error and you will see the above error messages.
This patch fixes the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
