The while loop at the bottom of ipoib_mcast_join_finish() will attempt
to send queued multicast packets in mcast->pkt_queue and eventually
end up in ipoib_mcast_send():
if (!mcast->ah) {
if (skb_queue_len(&mcast->pkt_queue) < IPOIB_MAX_MCAST_QUEUE)
skb_queue_tail(&mcast->pkt_queue, skb);
else {
++dev->stats.tx_dropped;
dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
}
My read is that the code will requeue the packet and return to the
ipoib_mcast_join_finish() while loop and the stage is set for the
"hung" task diagnostic as the while loop never sees a non-NULL ah, and
will do nothing to resolve.
There are GFP_ATOMIC allocates in the provider routines, so this is
possible and should be dealt with.
The test that induced the failure is associated with a host SM on the
same server during a shutdown.
This patch causes ipoib_mcast_join_finish() to exit with an error
which will flush the queued mcast packets. Nothing is done to unwind
the QP attached state so that subsequent sends from above will retry
the join.
