    LU-12080 lnet: clean mt_eqh properly
        
    There is a scenario where you have a peer on your recovery queue
    that's down. So you keep pinging it, but every ping times out
    after 10 seconds. In the middle of these 10 seconds you perform a
    shutdown. First you try to do the rsp_tracker_clean. It goes through
    and calls MDUnlink on the MD related to that ping. But because the
    message has a ref count on the MD, it doesn't go away. The MD gets
    zombied. And just waits for lnet_md_unlink to be called in
    lnet_finalize(). Then you hit clean_peer_ni_recovery. We see the peer
    on the queue, we try to call Unlink on it, but when we lookup the
    MD using lnet_handle2md() we can't find it. Afterwards we try to clean
    up the EQ and it asserts. Even if we remove the assert we end up with
    a resource leak since the EQ is not actually freed since we won't call
    LNetEQFree() again.
       
    The solution is to pull the EQ create in the LNetNIInit() and deletion
    happens in lnet_unprepare. By this point all the remaining messages
    would've been finalized and all references on the EQ are gone,
    allowing us to clean it up properly

    LU-12344 lnet: handle remote health error
        
    When a peer is dead set the health status to REMOTE_DROPPED
    in order to handle health properly for the peer.
    When dropping a routed message set REMOTE_ERROR. Routed messages
    are dropped when the routing feature is turned off which could
    be considered a configuration error if it happens in the middle
    of traffic. Therefore, it's better to flag this issue at this
    point without resending the message.

    It's possible for lnet_is_health_check() to return "true" when the
    message has not hit the network. In this situation the message is
    freed without detaching the MD. As a result, requests do not receive
    their unlink events and these requests are stuck forever.
        
    A little cleanup is included here:
     - The value of lnet_is_health_check() is only used in one place, so
       we don't need to save the result of it in a variable.
     - We don't need separate logic to detach the md when the send was
       successful. We'll fall through to the finalizing code after

    LU-11298 lnet: use peer for gateway
    
    The routing code uses peer_ni for a gateway. However with Mulit-Rail
    a gateway could have multiple interfaces on several different
    networks. Instead of using a single peer_ni as the gateway we should
    be using the peer and let the MR selection code select the best
    peer_ni to send to.
    
    This patch moves the gateway from peer to peer_ni. Much of the
    code needs to be rewritten in the following patches to account
    for that change. This patch disables the routing features by
    disabling the code to add/delete routes.

    The routing code will change quiet a bit so this patch removes most of the current routing code and then reintroduces it later.

    This patch concentrates on switching the gateway from using lnet_peer_ni to using lnet_peer.

    The design decision here is that a gateway is a node where LNet is started with the routing feature enabled. A gateway node can have multiple interfaces. In order to align routing with Multi-Rail, then the code should be first selecting a gateway peer, then using multi-rail to select the best peer_ni on that gateway to use.

    The following functions are removed in this patch and will be introduced in later patches

    Code Block
    lnet_is_route_alive()
    lnet_rtr_addref_locked()
    lnet_rtr_decref_locked()
    lnet_shuffle_seed()

    lnet_destroy_rc_data()
    lnet_update_rc_data_locked()
    lnet_router_check_interval()
    lnet_ping_router_locked()
    lnet_prune_rc_data()
    lnet_compare_peers()

    Key fields are moved from lnet_peer_ni to lnet_peer or deleted including:

    Code Block
    lpni_rtrq # moved
    lpni_rtr_list # moved
    lpni_ping_notsent # deleted
    lpni_ping_timestamp # deleted
    lpni_ping_deadline # deleted
    lpni_rtr_refcount # moved
    lpni_healthy # this is a remnant code which is cleaned up
    lpni_routes # moved

    The lnet_route structure is changed in the following way:

    Code Block
    struct lnet_peer *lr_gateway # this is now lnet_peer instead of lnet_peer_ni
    __u32 lr_lnet

    It is no longer possible to determine the local network of the route by simply looking at the gateway peer, since the peer can have multiple interfaces on different networks. Therefore the route now must define the local network and remote network. This way we are able to select and compare routes properly.

    The rest of the changes concentrate on removing the use of lnet_peer_ni as the gateway and replacing it with lnet_peer

    In lib-move.c there are changes in both lnet_post_routed_recv_locked() and lnet_return_rx_credits_locked()

    lnet_find_route_locked() is marked as "to be implemented". As a result lnet_handle_find_routed_path() which calls lnet_find_route_locked() is also incomplete due to removal of routing functionality. There are changes there, but the changes are mainly to avoid compilation problem. It will be re-implemented in a later patch.

    Routing is disabled with this patch.

    100 means at least one interface has to be 100% healthy

    100% means the interface has to be 100% healthy.

    NOTE: This should be titled "route aliveness"

    This patch introduces a new concept on how to determine that a route is alive. A route is alive if the following two conditions are met:

    1. At least one local interface to the route is healthy
    2. At least one remote interface of the route is up

    The health value of a router remote interface will always be set to MAX because we do not send to it directly, therefore we never decrement its health value. The way we know if it's up or down is when we discover it, the router response with the status of the interface which we cache and use to determine the status of the remote interface.

    LND notifies when a peer is up or down. If a it notifies
    LNet that the peer is up and sets the "reset" flag to true
    then this indicates to LNet that the LND knows about the health
    of the peer and is telling LNet that the peer is fully healthy.
    LNet will set the health value of the peer to maximum, otherwise
    it will increment the health by one.
        
    If the LND notifies the LNet that the peer is down, LNet will
    decrement the health of the peer by sensitivity value configured.
        
    LNet then turns around and rechecks the peer aliveness and if its
    dead it'll notify the LND. This code is only used by the socklnd
    because it needs to teardown connections. This is in keeping with
    the original funcionality.

    LU-11477 lnet: handle health for incoming messages
    
    In case of routers (as well as for the general case) it's important to
    update the health of the ni/lpni for incoming messages. For an lpni
    specifically when we receive a message is when we know that the lpni
    is up.
    
    A percentage router health is required in order to send a message to a
    gateway. That defaults to 100, meaning that a router interface has to
    be absolutely healthy in order to send to it. This matches the current
    behavior. So if a router interface goes down an its health goes down
    significantly, but then it comes back up again; either we receive a
    message from it or we discover it and get a reply, then in order to
    start using that router interface again we have to boost its health
    all the way up to maximum.
    
    This behavior is special cased for routers.

    Most of the modifications are in lnet_health_check()

    • handle incoming messages
    • Only increment the health of a peer_ni if we receive a message from it. Sending a message successfully doesn't mean the peer_ni is actually alive.
    • For router case boost the health of the peer_ni of the router to max if we receive a message from it.
      • We need to do that because if we increment it by 1 only and the percentage sensitivity is set to 100 we will not use that router interface for routing. This is to keep current routing behavior.

    LU-11478 lnet: misleading discovery seqno.
    
    There is a sequence number used when sending discovery messages. This
    sequence number is intended to detect stale messages. However it
    could be misleading if the peer reboots. In this case the peer's
    sequence number will reset. The node will think that all information
    being sent to it is stale, while in reality the peer might've
    changed configuration.
    
    There is no reliable why to know whether a peer rebooted, so we'll
    always assume that the messages we're receiving are valid. So we'll
    operate on first come first serve basis.

    For testing routers we want to be able to add a rule on the router to drop all messages arriving on that router interface from anywhere. This way we can simulate a router interface down scenario. Problem is the source and destination in the router case are not the router NID. So the rule specifies the local NID of the router.

    If the local  nid is not specific then it default to LNET_NID_ANY. Unlike source and destination it is mandatory. specifying NID any allows the drop rule to match messages in the absence of a specified local_nid

    drop all field is added which can be set from command line.

    The original discovery behavior was that if you turn off discovery then it doesn't send a PING or a PUSH. However, this causes a problem for routers. One example is Cray need to turn off discovery because it interferes with their routing setup. To handle this we changed the behavior for discovery off case. Discovery will always PING when requested. When the PING REPLY comes it'll update the existing peer_nis but not add or move peers_nis among peers. This is needed to update the router peer_ni statuses on the nodes.

    Most of the changes are spread through peer.c to change what we do when discovery on the peer is off or when it is turned off locally

    gateway The routing code uses peer_ni for a gateway. However with Mulit-Rail a gateway could have multiple interfaces on several different networks. Instead of using a single peer_ni as the gateway we should be using the peer and let the MR selection code select the best peer_ni to send to. This patch moves the gateway from peer to peer_ni. Much of the code needs to be rewritten in the following patches to account for that change. This patch disables the routing features by disabling the code to add/delete routes.

    The routing code will change quiet a bit so this patch removes most of the current routing code and then reintroduces it later.

    This patch concentrates on switching the gateway from using lnet_peer_ni to using lnet_peer.

    The design decision here is that a gateway is a node where LNet is started with the routing feature enabled. A gateway node can have multiple interfaces. In order to align routing with Multi-Rail, then the code should be first selecting a gateway peer, then using multi-rail to select the best peer_ni on that gateway to use.

    The following functions are removed in this patch and will be introduced in later patches

    Code Block
    lnet_is_route_alive()
    lnet_rtr_addref_locked()

    lnet_router_check_interval()
    lnet_ping_router_locked()
    lnet_prune_rc_data()
    lnet_compare_peers()

    Key fields are moved from lnet_peer_ni to lnet_peer or deleted including:

    Code Block
    lpni_rtrq # moved
    lpni_rtr_list # moved
    lpni_ping_notsent # deleted
    lpni_ping_timestamp # deleted
    lpni_ping_deadline # deleted
    lpni_rtr_refcount # moved
    lpni_healthy # this is a remnant code which is cleaned up
    lpni_routes # moved

    The lnet_route structure is changed in the following way:

    Code Block
    struct lnet_peer *lr_gateway # this is now lnet_peer instead of lnet_peer_ni
    __u32 lr_lnet
    # it is no longer possible to determine the local network of the route by simply looking at the gateway peer, since the peer can have multiple interfaces on different networks. Therefore the route now must define the local network and remote network. This way we are able to select and compare routes properly.

    The rest of the changes concentrate on removing the use of lnet_peer_ni as the gateway and replacing it with lnet_peer

    In lib-move.c there are changes in both lnet_post_routed_recv_locked() and lnet_return_rx_credits_locked()

    lnet_find_route_locked() is marked as "to be implemented". As a result lnet_handle_find_routed_path() which calls lnet_find_route_locked() is also incomplete due to removal of routing functionality. There are changes there, but the changes are mainly to avoid compilation problem. It will be re-implemented in a later patch.

    Routing infrastructure depends on health infrastructure to manage
    route status. However, health can be turned off. Therefore, we need
    to enable health for gateways in order to monitor them properly.
    Each peer now has its own health sensitivity. When adding a route
    the gateway's health sensitivity can be explicitly set from lnetctl
    or if not specified then it'll default to 1, thereby turning health
    on for that gateway, allowing peer NI recovery if there is a failure.
