* IB/core: Add helpers for uncached GID and P_Key searchesYosef Etigin2007-05-191-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Add ib_find_gid() and ib_find_pkey() functions that use uncached device queries. The calls might block but the returns are always up-to-date. Cache P_Key and GID table lengths in core to avoid extra port info queries. Signed-off-by: Yosef Etigin <yosefe@voltaire.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

* IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modulesRoland Dreier2007-05-081-24/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace, rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the low-level driver's reg_user_mr method. Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on ib_uverbs. This has a number of advantages: - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as the details of specific devices dictate. - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch, the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions. - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags. - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4 to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
* IB: Return "maybe missed event" hint from ib_req_notify_cq()Roland Dreier2007-05-061-9/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantics defined by the InfiniBand specification say that completion events are only generated when a completions is added to a completion queue (CQ) after completion notification is requested. In other words, this means that the following race is possible: while (CQ is not empty) ib_poll_cq(CQ); // new completion is added after while loop is exited ib_req_notify_cq(CQ); // no event is generated for the existing completion To close this race, the IB spec recommends doing another poll of the CQ after requesting notification. However, it is not always possible to arrange code this way (for example, we have found that NAPI for IPoIB cannot poll after requesting notification). Also, some hardware (eg Mellanox HCAs) actually will generate an event for completions added before the call to ib_req_notify_cq() -- which is allowed by the spec, since there's no way for any upper-layer consumer to know exactly when a completion was really added -- so the extra poll of the CQ is just a waste. Motivated by this, we add a new flag "IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS" for ib_req_notify_cq() so that it can return a hint about whether the a completion may have been added before the request for notification. The return value of ib_req_notify_cq() is extended so: < 0 means an error occurred while requesting notification == 0 means notification was requested successfully, and if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in, then no events were missed and it is safe to wait for another event. > 0 is only returned if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in. It means that the consumer must poll the CQ again to make sure it is empty to avoid the race described above. We add a flag to enable this behavior rather than turning it on unconditionally, because checking for missed events may incur significant overhead for some low-level drivers, and consumers that don't care about the results of this test shouldn't be forced to pay for the test.

* IB: Add CQ comp_vector supportMichael S. Tsirkin2007-05-061-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels the userspace libibverbs API. Update all hardware drivers to set num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector value. Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than hard-coding a value of 1. We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt affinity. This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes anyway.

* IB: Return qp pointer as part of ib_wcMichael S. Tsirkin2007-02-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct ib_wc currently only includes the local QP number: this matches the IB spec, but seems mostly useless. The following patch replaces this with the pointer to qp itself, and updates all low level drivers and all users. This has the following advantages: - Ability to get a per-qp context through wc->qp->qp_context - Existing drivers already have the qp pointer ready in poll cq, so this change actually saves a tiny bit (extra memory read) on data path (for ehca it would actually be expensive to find the QP pointer when polling a CQ, but ehca does not support SRQ so we can leave wc->qp as NULL for ehca) - Users that need the QP number can still get it through wc->qp->qp_num Use case: In IPoIB connected mode code, I have a common CQ shared by multiple QPs. To track connection usage, I need a way to get at some per-QP context upon the completion, and I would like to avoid allocating context object per work request just to stick a QP pointer into it. With this code, I can just use wc->qp->qp_context. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

* IB: Fix ib_dma_alloc_coherent() wrapperRoland Dreier2006-12-151-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | The ib_dma_alloc_coherent() wrapper uses a u64* for the dma_handle parameter, unlike dma_alloc_coherent, which uses dma_addr_t*. This means that we need a temporary variable to handle the case when ib_dma_alloc_coherent() just falls through directly to dma_alloc_coherent() on architectures where sizeof u64 != sizeof dma_addr_t.

* IB/uverbs: Don't serialize with ib_uverbs_idr_mutexRoland Dreier2006-06-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

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.

* [IB] Have cq_resize() method take an int, not int*Roland Dreier2005-11-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [IB] Fix MAD layer DMA mappings to avoid touching data buffer once mappedSean Hefty2005-10-251-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* [IB] uverbs: Close some exploitable racesRoland Dreier2005-09-261-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
