[LU-11937] lnet.service randomly load tcp NIDs

Tue, 12 Nov 2019 23:39:07 +0000

On clients, we're using lnet.service with the following config:

[root@sh-112-12 ~]# cat /etc/lnet.conf 
net:
    - net type: o2ib4
      local NI(s):
        - nid:
          interfaces:
              0: ib0
route: 
    - net: o2ib1
      gateway: 10.9.0.[31-32]@o2ib4
    - net: o2ib5
      gateway: 10.9.0.[41-42]@o2ib4
    - net: o2ib7
      gateway: 10.9.0.[21-24]@o2ib4
[root@sh-112-12 ~]# lctl list_nids
10.10.112.12@tcp
10.9.112.12@o2ib4

[root@sh-112-12 ~]# dmesg | grep -i lnet
[  397.762804] LNet: HW NUMA nodes: 2, HW CPU cores: 20, npartitions: 2

[  399.075936] LNet: Added LNI 10.9.112.12@o2ib4 [8/256/0/180]

It is unclear why it does that at this point.

client network config:

This leads to many issues server-side with 2.12, as reported in LU-11888 and LU-11936.

Thanks!
