Rather than byte-swapping cqe->g_mlpath_rqpn each time we extract a field from it, byte-swap it once into a temporary variable. This results in smaller, better code -- eg, on 32-bit x86: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-5 (-5) function old new delta mlx4_ib_poll_cq 1188 1183 -5 Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2008-01-25IB/mthca: Remove MSI support as scheduledAdrian Bunk
Remove MSI support from the mthca driver, as scheduled. There is no reason to use MSI instead of MSI-X, since MSI-X performs better. No one has spoken up since MSI support was deprecated in commit f6be6fbe ("IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal"), so apparently the MSI support is unused.

2008-01-25RDMA/cma: add support for rdma_migrate_id() Sean Hefty
This is based on user feedback from Doug Ledford at RedHat: Events that occur on an rdma_cm_id are reported to userspace through an event channel. Connection request events are reported on the event channel associated with the listen. When the connection is accepted, a new rdma_cm_id is created and automatically uses the listen event channel. This is suboptimal where the user only wants listen events on that channel. Additionally, it may be desirable to have events related to connection establishment use a different event channel than those related to already established connections. Allow the user to migrate an rdma_cm_id between event channels. All pending events associated with the rdma_cm_id are moved to the new event channel.

2008-01-25RDMA/cma: Reenable device removal on passive sideVladimir Sokolovsky
Enable conn_id remove on the passive side after connection establishment. This corrects an issue where the IB driver can't be unloaded after running applications over RDS. The 'dev_remove' counter does not reach 0 for established connections on the passive side. This problem is limited to device removal, and only occurs on the passive side if there are established connections.

2008-01-25IB/mad: Fix incorrect access to items on local_listSean Hefty
In cancel_mads(), MADs are moved from the wait_list and local_list to a cancel_list for processing. However, the structures on these two lists are not the same. The wait_list references struct ib_mad_send_wr_private, but local_list references struct ib_mad_local_private. Cancel_mads() treats all items moved to the cancel_list as struct ib_mad_send_wr_private. This leads to a system crash when requests are moved from the local_list to the cancel_list. Fix this by leaving local_list alone. All requests on the local_list have completed are just awaiting processing by a queued worker thread. Bug (crash) reported by Dotan Barak <dotanb@dev.mellanox.co.il>. Problem with local_list access reported by Robert Reynolds <rreynolds@opengridcomputing.com>.

2008-01-25IB/mad: Enable loopback of DR SMP responses from userspaceSteve Welch
The local loopback of an outgoing DR SMP response is limited to those that originate at the driver specific SMA implementation during the driver specific process_mad() function. This patch enables a returning DR SMP originating in userspace (or elsewhere) to be delivered to the local managment stack. In this specific case the driver process_mad() function does not consume or process the MAD, so a reponse mad has not be created and the original MAD must manually be copied to the MAD buffer that is to be handed off to the local agent.

2008-01-25IPoIB/cm: Add connected mode support for devices without SRQsPradeep Satyanarayana
Some IB adapters (notably IBM's eHCA) do not implement SRQs (shared receive queues). The current IPoIB connected mode support only works on devices that support SRQs. Fix this by adding support for using the receive queue of each connected mode receive QP. The disadvantage of this compared to using an SRQ is that it means a full queue of receives must be posted for each remote connected mode peer, which means that total memory usage is potentially much higher than when using SRQs. To manage this, add a new module parameter "max_nonsrq_conn_qp" that limits the number of connections allowed per interface. The rest of the changes are fairly straightforward: we use a table of struct ipoib_cm_rx to hold all the active connections, and put the table index of the connection in the high bits of receive WR IDs. This is needed because we cannot rely on the struct ib_wc.qp field for non-SRQ receive completions. Most of the rest of the changes just test whether or not an SRQ is available, and post receives or find received packets in the right place depending on the answer. Cleaning up dead connections actually becomes simpler, because we do not have to do the "last WQE reached" dance that is required to destroy QPs attached to an SRQ. We just move the QP to the error state and wait for all pending receives to be flushed.

This can be broken down into these major areas: - Documentation updates (language translations and fixes, as well as kobject and kset documenatation updates.) - major kset/kobject/ktype rework and fixes. This cleans up the kset and kobject and ktype relationship and architecture, making sense of things now, and good documenation and samples are provided for others to use. Also the attributes for kobjects are much easier to handle now. This cleaned up a LOT of code all through the kernel, making kobjects easier to use if you want to. - struct bus_type has been reworked to now handle the lifetime rules properly, as the kobject is properly dynamic. - struct driver has also been reworked, and now the lifetime issues are resolved. - the block subsystem has been converted to use struct device now, and not "raw" kobjects. This patch has been in the -mm tree for over a year now, and finally all the issues are worked out with it.

2008-01-25slab: fix bootstrap on memoryless nodePekka Enberg
If the node we're booting on doesn't have memory, bootstrapping kmalloc() caches resorts to fallback_alloc() which requires ->nodelists set for all nodes. Fix that by calling set_up_list3s() for CACHE_CACHE in kmem_cache_init(). As kmem_getpages() is called with GFP_THISNODE set, this used to work before because of breakage in 2.6.22 and before with GFP_THISNODE returning pages from the wrong node if a node had no memory. So it may have worked accidentally and in an unsafe manner because the pages would have been associated with the wrong node which could trigger bug ons and locking troubles.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Allow journal recovery on read-only mountAbhijith Das
This patch allows gfs2 to perform journal recovery even if it is mounted read-only. Strictly speaking, a read-only mount should not be writing to the filesystem, but we do this only to perform journal recovery. A read-only mount will fail if we don't recover the dirty journal. Also, when gfs2 is used as a root filesystem, it will be mounted read-only before being mounted read-write during the boot sequence. A failed read-only mount will panic the machine during bootup.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Fix page_mkwrite truncation race pathSteven Whitehouse
There was a bug in the truncation/invalidation race path for ->page_mkwrite for gfs2. It ought to return 0 so that the effect is the same as if the page was truncated at any of the other points at which the page_lock is dropped. This will result in the restart of the whole page fault path. If it was due to a real truncation (as opposed to an invalidate because we let a glock go) then the ->fault path will pick that up when it gets called again.

2008-01-25[GFS2] gfs2_alloc_required performanceBob Peterson
This is a small I/O performance enhancement to gfs2. (Actually, it is a rework of an earlier version I got wrong). The idea here is to check if the write extends past the last block in the file. If so, the function can save itself a lot of time and trouble because it knows an allocate will be required. Benchmarks like iozone should see better performance.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Reduce inode size by moving i_alloc out of lineSteven Whitehouse
It is possible to reduce the size of GFS2 inodes by taking the i_alloc structure out of the gfs2_inode. This patch allocates the i_alloc structure whenever its needed, and frees it afterward. This decreases the amount of low memory we use at the expense of requiring a memory allocation for each page or partial page that we write. A quick test with postmark shows that the overhead is not measurable and I also note that OCFS2 use the same approach. In the future I'd like to solve the problem by shrinking down the size of the members of the i_alloc structure, but for now, this reduces the immediate problem of using too much low-memory on x86 and doesn't add too much overhead.
