[LU-14649] LNetDist() may not return 0 for local NID

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 01:08:42 +0000

Multi-rail peer can have multiple local NIDs, but LNetDist() will only identify a NID as local if it is the first one returned by lnet_get_next_ni_locked().

Here's the code:

        while ((ni = lnet_get_next_ni_locked(NULL, ni))) {
                if (ni->ni_nid == dstnid) {
                        if (srcnidp != NULL)
                                *srcnidp = dstnid;
                        if (orderp != NULL) {
                                if (dstnid == LNET_NID_LO_0)
                                        *orderp = 0;
                                else
                                        *orderp = 1;
                        }
                        lnet_net_unlock(cpt);

                        return local_nid_dist_zero ? 0 : 1;
                }

                if (LNET_NIDNET(ni->ni_nid) == dstnet) {
                        /* Check if ni was originally created in
                         * current net namespace.
                         * If not, assign order above 0xffff0000,
                         * to make this ni not a priority. */
                        if (current->nsproxy &&
                            !net_eq(ni->ni_net_ns, current->nsproxy->net_ns))
                                        order += 0xffff0000;
                        if (srcnidp != NULL)
                                *srcnidp = ni->ni_nid;
                        if (orderp != NULL)
                                *orderp = order;
                        lnet_net_unlock(cpt);
                        return 1;
                }

                order++;
        }

If a peer has two nids on same net, x@o2ib and y@o2ib, then LNetDist() will return 0 for one of the NIDs and 1 for the other NID even though both NIDs are local.

This is evidenced by lctl which_nids always returning the first NI that is configured regardless of the order of arguments:

192.168.2.38@tcp
192.168.2.39@tcp
