IB/core: Add user MR re-registration support

2014-08-01T22:11:13Z

Memory re-registration is a feature that enables changing the attributes of a memory region registered by user-space, including PD, translation (address and length) and access flags. Add the required support in uverbs and the kernel verbs API. Signed-off-by: Matan Barak Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB/core: Fix sparse warnings about redeclared functions

2014-06-04T17:01:42Z

Fix a few functions that are declared with __attribute_const__ in the ib_verbs.h header file but defined without it in verbs.c. This gets rid of the following sparse warnings: drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:51:5: error: symbol 'ib_rate_to_mult' redeclared with different type (originally declared at include/rdma/ib_verbs.h:469) - different modifiers drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:68:14: error: symbol 'mult_to_ib_rate' redeclared with different type (originally declared at include/rdma/ib_verbs.h:607) - different modifiers drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:85:5: error: symbol 'ib_rate_to_mbps' redeclared with different type (originally declared at include/rdma/ib_verbs.h:476) - different modifiers drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:111:1: error: symbol 'rdma_node_get_transport' redeclared with different type (originally declared at include/rdma/ib_verbs.h:84) - different modifiers Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB: Add a QP creation flag to use GFP_NOIO allocations

2014-06-02T21:58:11Z

This addresses a problem where NFS client writes over IPoIB connected mode may deadlock on memory allocation/writeback. The problem is not directly memory reclamation. There is an indirect dependency between network filesystems writing back pages and ipoib_cm_tx_init() due to how a kworker is used. Page reclaim cannot make forward progress until ipoib_cm_tx_init() succeeds and it is stuck in page reclaim itself waiting for network transmission. Ordinarily this situation may be avoided by having the caller use GFP_NOFS but ipoib_cm_tx_init() does not have that information. To address this, take a general approach and add a new QP creation flag that tells the low-level hardware driver to use GFP_NOIO for the memory allocations related to the new QP. Use the new flag in the ipoib connected mode path, and if the driver doesn't support it, re-issue the QP creation without the flag.

IB/core: Remove overload in ib_sg_dma*

IB/core: Introduce signature verbs API

2014-03-07T19:26:49Z

Introduce a verbs interface for signature-related operations. A signature handover operation configures the layouts of data and protection attributes both in memory and wire domains. Signature operations are: - INSERT: Generate and insert protection information when handing over data from input space to output space. - validate and STRIP: Validate protection information and remove it when handing over data from input space to output space. - validate and PASS: Validate protection information and pass it when handing over data from input space to output space. Once the signature handover opration is done, the HCA will offload data integrity generation/validation while performing the actual data transfer. Additions: 1. HCA signature capabilities in device attributes Verbs provider supporting signature handover operations fills relevant fields in device attributes structure returned by ib_query_device. 2. QP creation flag IB_QP_CREATE_SIGNATURE_EN Creating a QP that will carry signature handover operations may require some special preparations from the verbs provider. So we add QP creation flag IB_QP_CREATE_SIGNATURE_EN to declare that the created QP may carry out signature handover operations. Expose signature support to verbs layer (no support for now). 3. New send work request IB_WR_REG_SIG_MR Signature handover work request. This WR will define the signature handover properties of the memory/wire domains as well as the domains layout. The purpose of this work request is to bind all the needed information for the signature operation: - data to be transferred: wr->sg_list (ib_sge). * The raw data, pre-registered to a single MR (normally, before signature, this MR would have been used directly for the data transfer) - data protection guards: sig_handover.prot (ib_sge). * The data protection buffer, pre-registered to a single MR, which contains the data integrity guards of the raw data blocks. Note that it may not always exist, only in cases where the user is interested in storing protection guards in memory. - signature operation attributes: sig_handover.sig_attrs. * Tells the HCA how to validate/generate the protection information. Once the work request is executed, the memory region that will describe the signature transaction will be the sig_mr. The application can now go ahead and send the sig_mr.rkey or use the sig_mr.lkey for data transfer. 4. New Verb ib_check_mr_status check_mr_status verb checks the status of the memory region post transaction. The first check that may be used is IB_MR_CHECK_SIG_STATUS, which will indicate if any signature errors are pending for a specific signature-enabled ib_mr. This verb is a lightwight check and is allowed to be taken from interrupt context. An application must call this verb after it is known that the actual data transfer has finished.

IB/core: Introduce protected memory regions

2014-03-07T19:26:49Z

This commit introduces verbs for creating/destoying memory regions which will allow new types of memory key operations such as protected memory registration. Indirect memory registration is registering several (one of more) pre-registered memory regions in a specific layout. The Indirect region may potentialy describe several regions and some repitition format between them. Protected Memory registration is registering a memory region with various data integrity attributes which will describe protection schemes that will be handled by the HCA in an offloaded manner. These memory regions will be applicable for a new REG_SIG_MR work request introduced later in this patchset. In the future these routines may replace or implement current memory regions creation routines existing today: - ib_reg_user_mr - ib_alloc_fast_reg_mr - ib_get_dma_mr - ib_dereg_mr Signed-off-by: Sagi Grimberg Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB: Report using RoCE IP based gids in port caps

2014-02-13T22:46:03Z

For userspace RoCE UD QPs we need to know the GID format that the kernel uses, e.g when working over older kernels. For that end, add a new port capability IB_PORT_IP_BASED_GIDS and report it when query port is issued.
