      IB/core: Add "type 2" memory windows support · 7083e42e
      Shani Michaeli authored 
      

This patch enhances the IB core support for Memory Windows (MWs).

MWs allow an application to have better/flexible control over remote
access to memory.

Two types of MWs are supported, with the second type having two flavors:

    Type 1  - associated with PD only
    Type 2A - associated with QPN only
    Type 2B - associated with PD and QPN

Applications can allocate a MW once, and then repeatedly bind the MW
to different ranges in MRs that are associated to the same PD. Type 1
windows are bound through a verb, while type 2 windows are bound by
posting a work request.

The 32-bit memory key is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit
key. The key is changed with each bind, thus allowing more control
over the peer's use of the memory key.

The changes introduced are the following:

* add memory window type enum and a corresponding parameter to ib_alloc_mw.
* type 2 memory window bind work request support.
* create a struct that contains the common part of the bind verb struct
  ibv_mw_bind and the bind work request into a single struct.
* add the ib_inc_rkey helper function to advance the tag part of an rkey.

Consumer interface details:

* new device capability flags IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A and
  IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B are added to indicate device support
  for these features.

  Devices can set either IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A or
  IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B if it supports type 2A or type 2B
  memory windows. It can set neither to indicate it doesn't support
  type 2 windows at all.

* modify existing provides and consumers code to the new param of
  ib_alloc_mw and the ib_mw_bind_info structure

      RDMA/cma: Pass QP type into rdma_create_id() · b26f9b99
      Sean Hefty authored 
      

The RDMA CM currently infers the QP type from the port space selected
by the user.  In the future (eg with RDMA_PS_IB or XRC), there may not
be a 1-1 correspondence between port space and QP type.  For netlink
export of RDMA CM state, we want to export the QP type to userspace,
so it is cleaner to explicitly associate a QP type to an ID.

Modify rdma_create_id() to allow the user to specify the QP type, and
use it to make our selections of datagram versus connected mode.

      RPCRDMA: Fix FRMR registration/invalidate handling. · 5c635e09
      Tom Tucker authored 
      

When the rpc_memreg_strategy is 5, FRMR are used to map RPC data.
This mode uses an FRMR to map the RPC data, then invalidates
(i.e. unregisers) the data in xprt_rdma_free. These FRMR are used
across connections on the same mount, i.e. if the connection goes
away on an idle timeout and reconnects later, the FRMR are not
destroyed and recreated.

This creates a problem for transport errors because the WR that
invalidate an FRMR may be flushed (i.e. fail) leaving the
FRMR valid. When the FRMR is later used to map an RPC it will fail,
tearing down the transport and starting over. Over time, more and
more of the FRMR pool end up in the wrong state resulting in
seemingly random disconnects.

This fix keeps track of the FRMR state explicitly by setting it's
state based on the successful completion of a reg/inv WR. If the FRMR
is ever used and found to be in the wrong state, an invalidate WR
is prepended, re-syncing the FRMR state and avoiding the connection loss.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  bloc...

      IB/core: Add support for "send with invalidate" work requests · 0f39cf3d
      Roland Dreier authored 
      

Add a new IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV send opcode that can be used to mark a
"send with invalidate" work request as defined in the iWARP verbs and
the InfiniBand base memory management extensions.  Also put "imm_data"
and a new "invalidate_rkey" member in a new "ex" union in struct
ib_send_wr. The invalidate_rkey member can be used to pass in an
R_Key/STag to be invalidated.  Add this new union to struct
ib_uverbs_send_wr.  Add code to copy the invalidate_rkey field in
ib_uverbs_post_send().

Fix up low-level drivers to deal with the change to struct ib_send_wr,
and just remove the imm_data initialization from net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/,
since that code never does any send with immediate operations.

Also, move the existing IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV flag to a new bit, since
the iWARP drivers currently in the tree set the bit.  The amso1100
driver at least will silently fail to honor the IB_SEND_INVALIDATE bit
if passed in as part of userspace send requests (since it does not
implement kernel bypass work request queueing).  Remove the flag from
all existing drivers that set it until we know which ones are OK.

The values chosen for the new flag is not consecutive to avoid clashing
with flags defined in the XRC patches, which are not merged yet but
which are already in use and are likely to be merged soon.

This resurrects a patch sent long ago by Mikkel Hagen <mhagen@iol.unh.edu>.
