RDMA/core: Introduce a DMAH object and its alloc/free APIs

2025-07-23T05:42:10Z

Introduce a new DMA handle (DMAH) object along with its corresponding allocation and deallocation APIs. This DMAH object encapsulates attributes intended for use in DMA transactions. While its initial purpose is to support TPH functionality, it is designed to be extensible for future features such as DMA PCI multipath, PCI UIO configurations, PCI traffic class selection, and more. Further details: ---------------- We ensure that a caller requesting a DMA handle for a specific CPU ID is permitted to be scheduled on it. This prevent a potential security issue where a non privilege user may trigger DMA operations toward a CPU that it's not allowed to run on. We manage reference counting for the DMAH object and its consumers (e.g., memory regions) as will be detailed in subsequent patches in the series.

RDMA/uverbs: Introduce UCAP (User CAPabilities) API

2025-03-09T17:13:02Z

Implement a new User CAPabilities (UCAP) API to provide fine-grained control over specific firmware features. This approach offers more granular capabilities than the existing Linux capabilities, which may be too generic for certain FW features. This mechanism represents each capability as a character device with root read-write access. Root processes can grant users special privileges by allowing access to these character devices (e.g., using chown). UCAP character devices are located in /dev/infiniband and the class path is /sys/class/infiniband_ucaps.

RDMA/umem: Support importing dma-buf as user memory region

2021-01-20T20:07:52Z

Dma-buf is a standard cross-driver buffer sharing mechanism that can be used to support peer-to-peer access from RDMA devices. Device memory exported via dma-buf is associated with a file descriptor. This is passed to the user space as a property associated with the buffer allocation. When the buffer is registered as a memory region, the file descriptor is passed to the RDMA driver along with other parameters. Implement the common code for importing dma-buf object and mapping dma-buf pages.

RDMA/cm: Replace pr_debug() call sites with tracepoints

2020-08-24T22:41:41Z

In the interest of converging on a common instrumentation infrastructure, modernize the pr_debug() call sites added by commit 119bf81793ea ("IB/cm: Add debug prints to ib_cm"). The new tracepoints appear in a new "ib_cma" subsystem. The conversion is somewhat mechanical. Someone more familiar with the semantics of the recorded information might suggest additional data capture. Some benefits include: - Tracepoints enable "always on" reporting of these errors - The error records are structured and compact - Tracepoints provide hooks for eBPF scripts Sample output: nfsd-1954 [003] 62.017901: icm_dreq_skipped: local_id=1998890974 remote_id=1129750393 state=DREQ_RCVD lap_state=LAP_UNINIT Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/159767239665.2968.10613294222688696646.stgit@klimt.1015granger.net Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe

Add support to get the RoCE LAG xmit slave by building skb of the RoCE packet and call to master_get_xmit_slave. If driver wants to get the slave assume all slaves are available, then need to set RDMA_LAG_FLAGS_HASH_ALL_SLAVES in flags.

RDMA/core: Make ib_uverbs_async_event_file into a uobject

2020-01-13T20:20:16Z

This makes async events aligned with completion events as both are full uobjects of FD type and use the same uobject lifecycle. A bunch of duplicate code is consolidated and the general flow between the two FDs is now very similar.
