IB/iser: reject a remote invalidation of an unregistered direction

2026-09-02T13:08:10+00:00

A write command whose data is sent entirely as immediate data is not registered. iser_reg_mem_fastreg() takes the DMA key path and leaves rdma_reg[ISER_DIR_OUT].desc at NULL, while iser_dma_map_task_data() has already set dir[ISER_DIR_OUT]. iser_check_remote_inv() looks at dir[] alone and hands the descriptor to iser_inv_desc(), which reads desc->sig_protected. A target that answers such a command with IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV faults the initiator. Leaving those commands unregistered is deliberate. The same function already terminates the connection when a target sends a remote invalidation the initiator did not ask for. A target that invalidates a direction that was never registered is in the same class, so give it the same answer.

RDMA: Change capability fields in ib_device_attr from int to u32

2026-07-12T08:47:44+00:00

The capability counter fields in struct ib_device_attr are declared as signed int, but these values are inherently non-negative. Drivers maintain their cached caps as u32 and assign them directly into these int fields; if a cap exceeds INT_MAX the implicit narrowing yields a negative value visible to the IB core. Change the signed int capability fields to u32 to match the underlying nature of the data. Also update consumers across the IB core, ULPs, NVMe-oF target, RDS, and NFS/RDMA so the new u32 values are not forced back through signed int or u8 via min()/min_t() or narrowing local variables. The nvmet-rdma consumer of max_srq clamps it against ib_device.num_comp_vectors, which stays a signed int, so that site uses min_t() instead of min() to handle the signed/unsigned mismatch.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

IB/iser: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users

2025-11-09T11:30:48+00:00

Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in: commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default.

IB/iser: Prevent invalidating wrong MR

2024-01-04T20:37:03+00:00

The iser_reg_resources structure has two pointers to MR but only one mr_valid field. The implementation assumes that we use only *sig_mr when pi_enable is true. Otherwise, we use only *mr. However, it is only sometimes correct. Read commands without protection information occur even when pi_enble is true. For example, the following SCSI commands have a Data-In buffer but never have protection information: READ CAPACITY (16), INQUIRY, MODE SENSE(6), MAINTENANCE IN. So, we use *sig_mr for some SCSI commands and *mr for the other SCSI commands. In most cases, it works fine because the remote invalidation is applied. However, there are two cases when the remote invalidation is not applicable. 1. Small write commands when all data is sent as an immediate. 2. The target does not support the remote invalidation feature. The lazy invalidation is used if the remote invalidation is impossible. Since, at the lazy invalidation, we always invalidate the MR we want to use, the wrong MR may be invalidated. To fix the issue, we need a field per MR that indicates the MR needs invalidation. Since the ib_mr structure already has such a field, let's use ib_mr.need_inval instead of iser_reg_resources.mr_valid.
