Håkon Bugge 4542e3c79a IB/mlx4: Fix CM REQ retries in paravirt mode
CM REQs cannot be successfully retried, because a new pv_cm_id is
created for each request, without checking if one already exists.

By checking if an id exists before creating one, the bug is fixed.

This bug can be provoked by running an RDMA CM user-land application,
but inserting a five seconds delay before the rdma_accept() call on
the passive side. This delay is larger than the default CMA timeout,
and triggers a retry from the active side. The retried REQ will use
another pv_cm_id (the cm_id on the wire). This confuses the CM
protocol and two REJs are sent from the passive side.

Here is an excerpt from ibdump running without the patch:

3.285092       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello)
7.382711       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello)
7.382861       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       InfiniBand 290 CM: ConnectReject
7.387644       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       InfiniBand 290 CM: ConnectReject

and here is the same with bug fix applied:

3.251010       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello)
7.349387       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       SDP 290 CM: ConnectRequest(SDP Hello)
8.258443       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       SDP 290 CM: ConnectReply(SDP Hello)
8.259890       LID: 4 -> LID: 4       InfiniBand 290 CM: ReadyToUse

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
