2006-06-17IB/uverbs: Don't serialize with ib_uverbs_idr_mutexRoland Dreier
Currently, all userspace verbs operations that call into the kernel are serialized by ib_uverbs_idr_mutex. This can be a scalability issue for some workloads, especially for devices driven by the ipath driver, which needs to call into the kernel even for datapath operations. Fix this by adding reference counts to the userspace objects, and then converting ib_uverbs_idr_mutex into a spinlock that only protects the idrs long enough to take a reference on the object being looked up. Because remove operations may fail, we have to do a slightly funky two-step deletion, which is described in the comments at the top of uverbs_cmd.c. This also still leaves ib_uverbs_idr_lock as a single lock that is possibly subject to contention. However, the lock hold time will only be a single idr operation, so multiple threads should still be able to make progress, even if ib_uverbs_idr_lock is being ping-ponged. Surprisingly, these changes even shrink the object code: add/remove: 23/5 grow/shrink: 4/21 up/down: 633/-693 (-60) Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-06-17IB: Add ib_init_ah_from_wc()Sean Hefty
Add a function to initialize address handle attributes from a work completion. This functionality is duplicated by both verbs and the CM. Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-06-17IB: Add client reregister event typeLeonid Arsh
Add IB_EVENT_CLIENT_REREGISTER to enum so low-level drivers can generate "client reregister" events. Signed-off-by: Leonid Arsh <leonida@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-06-17IB: Add caching of ports' LMCJack Morgenstein
Add an LMC cache to struct ib_device, and add a function ib_get_cached_lmc() to query the cache. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-04-10IB: simplify static rate encodingJack Morgenstein
Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers, where it belongs. For static rate encoding, use encoding of rate field from IB standard PathRecord, with addition of value 0, for backwards compatibility with current usage. The changes are: - Add enum ib_rate to midlayer includes. - Get rid of static rate translation in IPoIB; just use static rate directly from Path and MulticastGroup records. - Update mthca driver to translate absolute static rate into the format used by hardware. This also fixes mthca's static rate handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-20IB/mthca: Return actual capacity from create_srqDotan Barak
Have mthca's create_srq method return the actual capacity of the SRQ that gets created. Also update comments in <rdma/ib_verbs.h> to clarify that this is what is expected from ib_create_srq(). Signed-off-by: Dotan Barak <dotanb@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-20IB: Add ib_modify_qp_is_ok() library functionRoland Dreier
The in-kernel mthca driver contains a table of which attributes are valid for each queue pair state transition. It turns out that both other IB drivers -- ipath and ehca -- which are being prepared for merging have copied this table, errors and all. To forestall this code duplication, move this table and the code to check parameters against it into a midlayer library function, ib_modify_qp_is_ok().

2006-03-20IB: Enable FMR pool user to set page sizeOr Gerlitz
This patch allows the consumer to set the page size of "pages" mapped by the pool FMRs, which is a feature already existing in the base verbs API. On the cosmetic side it changes ib_fmr_attr.page_size field to be named page_shift. Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-20IB: Allow userspace to set node descriptionRoland Dreier
Expose a writable "node_desc" sysfs attribute for InfiniBand devices. This allows userspace to update the node description with information such as the node's hostname, so that IB network management software can tie its view to the real world. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-20IB: Add userspace support for resizing CQsRoland Dreier
Add support to uverbs to handle resizing userspace CQs (completion queues), including adding an ABI for marshalling requests and responses. The kernel midlayer already has ib_resize_cq(). Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-01-10IB: Add node_guid to struct ib_deviceSean Hefty
Add a node_guid field to struct ib_device. It is the responsibility of the low-level driver to initialize this field before registering a device with the midlayer. Convert everyone to looking at this field instead of calling ib_query_device() when all they want is the node GUID, and remove the node_guid field from struct ib_device_attr.

2005-11-10[IB] Have cq_resize() method take an int, not int*Roland Dreier
Change the struct ib_device.resize_cq() method to take a plain integer that holds the new CQ size, rather than a pointer to an integer that it uses to return the new size. This makes the interface match the exported ib_resize_cq() signature, and allows the low-level driver to update the CQ size with proper locking if necessary. No in-tree drivers are exporting this method yet. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-10-25[IB] Fix MAD layer DMA mappings to avoid touching data buffer once mappedSean Hefty
The MAD layer was violating the DMA API by touching data buffers used for sends after the DMA mapping was done. This causes problems on non-cache-coherent architectures, because the device doing DMA won't see updates to the payload buffers that exist only in the CPU cache. Fix this by having all MAD consumers use ib_create_send_mad() to allocate their send buffers, and moving the DMA mapping into the MAD layer so it can be done just before calling send (and after any modifications of the send buffer by the MAD layer). Tested on a non-cache-coherent PowerPC 440SPe system. Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-10-17[IB] uverbs: Add a mask of device methods allowed for userspaceRoland Dreier
Give each device a uverbs_cmd_mask, so that a low-level driver can control which methods may be called on behalf of userspace. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-10-17[IB] uverbs: Add device-specific ABI version attributeRoland Dreier
Add abi_version attribute to uverbs class devices to allow for ABI versioning of device-specific interfaces. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-09-26[IB] uverbs: Close some exploitable racesRoland Dreier
Al Viro pointed out that the current IB userspace verbs interface allows userspace to cause mischief by closing file descriptors before we're ready, or issuing the same command twice at the same time. This patch closes those races, and fixes other obvious problems such as a module reference leak. Some other interface bogosities will require an ABI change to fix properly, so I'm deferring those fixes until 2.6.15. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-08-26[PATCH] IB: move include files to include/rdmaRoland Dreier
Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma. This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
