[Gluster-users] RDMA/Ethernet wi ROCEE - failed to modify QP to RTR

[Ben England]

Did any RDMA/Ethernet users see this Gluster error?  If so do you know what caused it and how to fix?  If you haven't seen it, what RPMs and configuration do you use specific to RDMA/Ethernet?

[2011-11-10 10:30:20.595801] C [rdma.c:2417:rdma_connect_qp]0-rpc-transport/rdma: Failed to modify QP to RTR 
[2011-11-10 10:30:20.595930] E [rdma.c:4159:rdma_handshake_pollin] 0-rpc-transport/rdma: rdma.management: failed to connect with remote QP

I see this when I run RDMA over Ethernet using ROCEE RPMs, but when I run over Infiniband using RHEL 6.2-, it runs fine.  On the same Ethernet configuration, Gluster/TCP runs fine, NFS/RDMA runs fine as does AMQP app.  But qperf and rping utilities fail in the same way.  Firmware on the HCAs is not the latest, is it worth risk to upgrade?

I went into debugger and found line where qperf fails, it's near line 2056 in rdma.c in qperf sources (qperf-debuginfo,  I did Makefile)

(gdb)
2088        } else if (dev->trans == IBV_QPT_RC) {
(gdb)
2090            flags = IBV_QP_STATE              |
(gdb)
2097            if (ibv_modify_qp(dev->qp, &rtr_attr, flags) != 0)
(gdb)
2098                error(SYS, "failed to modify QP to RTR");
(gdb)

Gluster fails in rdma_connect_qp() calling the same routine, but perhaps with different parameters.
