Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/mad: Improve handling of timed out WRs of mad agent

Current timeout handler of mad agent acquires/releases mad_agent_priv
lock for every timed out WRs. This causes heavy locking contention
when higher no. of WRs are to be handled inside timeout handler.

This leads to softlockup with below trace in some use cases where
rdma-cm path is used to establish connection between peer nodes

Trace:

Simplified timeout handler by creating local list of timed out WRs
and invoke send handler post creating the list. The new method acquires/
releases lock once to fetch the list and hence helps to reduce locking
contetiong when processing higher no. of WRs

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: RDMA/mad: Mejorar el manejo de los WR con tiempo de espera agotado del agente mad El controlador de tiempo de espera actual del agente mad adquiere/libera el bloqueo mad_agent_priv para cada WR con tiempo de espera agotado. Esto provoca una fuerte contención de bloqueo cuando se deben manejar una mayor cantidad de WR dentro del controlador de tiempo de espera. Esto conduce a un bloqueo suave con el siguiente seguimiento en algunos casos de uso donde se usa la ruta rdma-cm para establecer la conexión entre nodos pares Seguimiento: ----- ERROR: bloqueo suave: ¡CPU n.º 4 atascada durante 26 s!

El nuevo método adquiere/libera el bloqueo una vez para obtener la lista y, por lo tanto, ayuda a reducir la contención del bloqueo cuando se procesa una cantidad mayor de WR.
