Ah. Data from an offloaded connection cannot leak into the main stack nor vice-verse. We can take an active RDMA connection establishment as an example if you want: Once the message is sent to the HW to "setup a TCP connection from addr/port a.b to addr/port c.d", then packets on that connection (that 4-tuple) will always be delivered to the RDMA driver, not the native stack. If the the packet received after the connection is setup is -not- an MPA reply (in this example), then the connection is aborted. Once the connection is aborted. So no leaking can happen.
And if there were a dataflow between addr/port a.b to addr/port c.d already, it will either terminated? Considering the following sequence: handlers->t3c_handlers->sched()->work_queue->work_handlers()->for example CPL_PASS_ACCEPT_REQ->pass_accept_req() - it just parses incoming skb and sets port/addr/route and other fields to be used as a base for rdma connection. What if it just a usual network packet from kernelspace or userspace with the same payload as should be sent by remote rdma system? -- Evgeniy Polyakov
