From 9ced69ca5296567033804950d8d2161f454c5012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Hefty Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:53:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/ucma: Discard all events for new connections until accepted After reporting a new connection request to user space, the rdma_ucm will discard subsequent events until the user has associated a user space idenfier with the kernel cm_id. This is needed to avoid reporting a reject/disconnect event to the user for a request that they may not have processed. The user space identifier is set once the user tries to accept the connection request. However, the following race exists in ucma_accept(): ctx->uid = cmd.uid; ret = rdma_accept(ctx->cm_id, ...); Once ctx->uid has been set, new events may be reported to the user. While the above mentioned race is avoided, there is an issue that the user _may_ receive a reject/disconnect event if rdma_accept() fails, depending on when the event is processed. To simplify the use of rdma_accept(), discard all events unless rdma_accept() succeeds. This problem was discovered based on questions from Roland Dreier .
