IV56852: DELIVERY OF ASYNC EVENTS CAN CAUSE DAPLI_THREAD HANG

A fix is available

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When asynchronous events are generated and delivered, sometimes
    it could potentially cause the dapli_thread to hang (trying to
    lock a word that is not valid). This could severely affect the
    future processing of connections etc.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When asynchronous events are generated and delivered, sometimes
    it could potentially cause the dapli_thread to hang (trying to
    lock a word that is not valid). This could severely affect the
    future processing of connections etc.
    

Problem conclusion

  • In the uDAPL code for OFED, there is no provision for the
    callback (from the lower layers in OFED) to pass back the IA
    pointer aong with the HCA that caused the asynchronous event.
    The attached IA pointer with the HCA structure may not
    be valid. Short of a significant re-design in this area, a
    simple but effective solution would be to chech the validity
    of the IA pointer (if it really is an IA). In all other cases
    we return immediately. This is ok, since our main consumer
    never processes the asynchronous events anyway.
    

Temporary fix
