I recently was having the "ib0: multicast join failed" issue. Once i upgraded the firmware in my switch everything started working again.

I would give the firmware upgrade a try.

We have still the same problem, even changing the registration method.

mount doesn't reply and this is the output of dmesg on client:

rpcrdma: connection to 192.168.0.215:2050 on mlx4_0, memreg 6 slots 32 ird 16

I have still another doubt: if the firmware is the problem, why is NFS RDMA working with a kernel 2.6.27.10 and without OFED 1.4 with these same cards??

Thanks,

Céline Bourde.

Let me know if you have additional information.

We have a contact at Mellanox. I will contact him.

Thanks,

Celine,

I'm seeing mlx4 in the log so it is connectX.

nfsrdma does not work with any official connectX' fw release 2.6.0 because of fast registering work request problems between nfsrdma and the firmware.
There is a very simple workaround if you don't have the latest mlx4 firmware.

Just set the client to use the all-physical memory registration mode. This will
avoid making unsupported reregistration requests, which the firmware advertised.

Before mounting, enter (as root)

        sysctl -w sunrpc.rdma_memreg_strategy = 6

The client should work properly after this.

If you do have access to the fixed firmware, I recommend using the default
setting (5) as it provides greater safety on the client.

Tom.

We are currently debugging/fixing those problems.

Do you have direct contact with Mellanox field application engineer? Please contact him/her.
If not I can send you a contact on private channel.

thanks,

Hi Celine,

What HCA do you have on your system? Is it ConnectX? If yes, what is its firmware version?

Hey Celine,

Thanks for gathering all this info! So the rdma connections work fine with everything _but_ nfsrdma. And errno 103 indicates the connection was aborted, maybe by the server (since no failures are logged by the client).

Hi Steve,

This email summarizes the situation:

Standard mount -> OK
---------------------

[r...@twind ~]# mount -o rw 192.168.0.215:/vol0 /mnt/
Command works fine.

rdma mount -> KO
-----------------

[r...@twind ~]# mount -o rdma,port=2050 192.168.0.215:/vol0 /mnt/
Command blocks ! I should perform Ctr+C to kill process.

Is there anything logged on the server side?

Also, can you try this again, but on both systems do this before attempting the mount:

echo 32768 > /proc/sys/sunrpc/rpc_debug

This will enable all the rpc trace points and add a bunch of logging to /var/log/messages. Maybe that will show us something. It think the server is aborting the connection for some reason.

Steve.
