rds: prevent BUG_ON triggered on congestion update to loopback
After congestion update on a local connection, when rds_ib_xmit returns less bytes than that are there in the message, rds_send_xmit calls back rds_ib_xmit with an offset that causes BUG_ON(off & RDS_FRAG_SIZE) to trigger. For a 4Kb PAGE_SIZE rds_ib_xmit returns min(8240,4096)=4096 when actually the message contains 8240 bytes. rds_send_xmit thinks there is more to send and calls rds_ib_xmit again with a data offset "off" of 4096-48(rds header) =4048 bytes thus hitting the BUG_ON(off & RDS_FRAG_SIZE) [RDS_FRAG_SIZE=4k]. The commit 6094628bfd94323fc1cea05ec2c6affd98c18f7f "rds: prevent BUG_ON triggering on congestion map updates" introduced this regression. That change was addressing the triggering of a different BUG_ON in rds_send_xmit() on PowerPC architecture with 64Kbytes PAGE_SIZE: BUG_ON(ret != 0 && conn->c_xmit_sg == rm->data.op_nents); This was the sequence it was going through: (rds_ib_xmit) /* Do not send cong updates to IB loopback */ if (conn->c_loopback && rm->m_inc.i_hdr.h_flags & RDS_FLAG_CONG_BITMAP) { rds_cong_map_updated(conn->c_fcong, ~(u64) 0); return sizeof(struct rds_header) + RDS_CONG_MAP_BYTES; } rds_ib_xmit returns 8240 rds_send_xmit: c_xmit_data_off = 0 + 8240 - 48 (rds header accounted only the first time) = 8192 c_xmit_data_off < 65536 (sg->length), so calls rds_ib_xmit again rds_ib_xmit returns 8240 rds_send_xmit: c_xmit_data_off = 8192 + 8240 = 16432, calls rds_ib_xmit again and so on (c_xmit_data_off 24672,32912,41152,49392,57632) rds_ib_xmit returns 8240 On this iteration this sequence causes the BUG_ON in rds_send_xmit: while (ret) { tmp = min_t(int, ret, sg->length - conn->c_xmit_data_off); [tmp = 65536 - 57632 = 7904] conn->c_xmit_data_off += tmp; [c_xmit_data_off = 57632 + 7904 = 65536] ret -= tmp; [ret = 8240 - 7904 = 336] if (conn->c_xmit_data_off == sg->length) { conn->c_xmit_data_off = 0; sg++; conn->c_xmit_sg++; BUG_ON(ret != 0 && conn->c_xmit_sg == rm->data.op_nents); [c_xmit_sg = 1, rm->data.op_nents = 1] What the current fix does: Since the congestion update over loopback is not actually transmitted as a message, all that rds_ib_xmit needs to do is let the caller think the full message has been transmitted and not return partial bytes. It will return 8240 (RDS_CONG_MAP_BYTES+48) when PAGE_SIZE is 4Kb. And 64Kb+48 when page size is 64Kb.
