      IB/mlx4: Configure QPs' max message size based on real device capability · d1f2cd89
      Eli Cohen authored
      ConnectX returns the max message size it supports through the
      QUERY_DEV_CAP firmware command.  When modifying a QP to RTR, the max
      message size for the QP must be specified.  This value must not exceed
      the value declared through QUERY_DEV_CAP.  The current code ignores
      the max allowed size and unconditionally sets the value to 2^31.  This
      patch sets all QPs to the max value allowed as returned from firmware.

      RDMA/core: Add memory management extensions support · 00f7ec36
      Steve Wise authored
      This patch adds support for the IB "base memory management extension"
      (BMME) and the equivalent iWARP operations (which the iWARP verbs
      mandates all devices must implement).  The new operations are:
      
       - Allocate an ib_mr for use in fast register work requests.
      
       - Allocate/free a physical buffer lists for use in fast register work
         requests.  This allows device drivers to allocate this memory as
         needed for use in posting send requests (eg via dma_alloc_coherent).
      
       - New send queue work requests:
         * send with remote invalidate
         * fast register memory region
         * local invalidate memory region
         * RDMA read with invalidate local memory region (iWARP only)
      
      Consumer interface details:
      
       - A new device capability flag IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS is added
         to indicate device support for these features.
      
       - New send work request opcodes IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, IB_WR_LOCAL_INV,
         IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV are added.
      
       - A new consumer API function, ib_alloc_mr() is added to allocate
         fast register memory regions.
      
       - New consumer API functions, ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list() and
         ib_free_fast_reg_page_list() are added to allocate and free
         device-specific memory for fast registration page lists.
      
       - A new consumer API function, ib_update_fast_reg_key(), is added to
         allow the key portion of the R_Key and L_Key of a fast registration
         MR to be updated.  Consumers call this if desired before posting
         a IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR work request.
      
      Consumers can use this as follows:
      
       - MR is allocated with ib_alloc_mr().
      
       - Page list memory is allocated with ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list().
      
       - MR R_Key/L_Key "key" field is updated with ib_update_fast_reg_key().
      
       - MR made VALID and bound to a specific page list via
         ib_post_send(IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR)
      
       - MR made INVALID via ib_post_send(IB_WR_LOCAL_INV),
         ib_post_send(IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV) or an incoming send with
         invalidate operation.
      
       - MR is deallocated with ib_dereg_mr()
      
       - page lists dealloced via ib_free_fast_reg_page_list().
      
      Applications can allocate a fast register MR once, and then can
      repeatedly bind the MR to different physical block lists (PBLs) via
      posting work requests to a send queue (SQ).  For each outstanding
      MR-to-PBL binding in the SQ pipe, a fast_reg_page_list needs to be
      allocated (the fast_reg_page_list is owned by the low-level driver
      from the consumer posting a work request until the request completes).
      Thus pipelining can be achieved while still allowing device-specific
      page_list processing.
      
      The 32-bit fast register memory key/STag is composed of a 24-bit index
      and an 8-bit key.  The application can change the key each time it
      fast registers thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the
      key/STag (ie it can effectively be changed each time the rkey is
      rebound to a page list).

      IPoIB: Copy small received SKBs in connected mode · f89271da
      Eli Cohen authored
      The connected mode implementation in the IPoIB driver has a large
      overhead in the way SKBs are handled in the receive flow.  It usually
      allocates an SKB with as big as was used in the currently received SKB
      and moves unused fragments from the old SKB to the new one. This
      involves a loop on all the remaining fragments and incurs overhead on
      the CPU.  This patch, for small SKBs, allocates an SKB just large
      enough to contain the received data and copies to it the data from the
      received SKB.  The newly allocated SKB is passed to the stack and the
      old SKB is reposted.
      
      When running netperf, UDP small messages, without this pach I get:
      
          UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to

          114688           10.00     1130489            115.71
      
      With this patch I get both send and receive at ~315 mbps.
      
      The reason that send performance actually slows down is as follows:
      When using this patch, the overhead of the CPU for handling RX packets
      is dramatically reduced.  As a result, we do not experience RNR NAK
      messages from the receiver which cause the connection to be closed and
      reopened again; when the patch is not used, the receiver cannot handle
      the packets fast enough so there is less time to post new buffers and
      hence the mentioned RNR NACKs.  So what happens is that the
      application *thinks* it posted a certain number of packets for
      transmission but these packets are flushed and do not really get
      transmitted.  Since the connection gets opened and closed many times,
      each time netperf gets the CPU time that otherwise would have been
      given to IPoIB to actually transmit the packets.  This can be verified
      when looking at the port counters -- the output of ifconfig and the
      oputput of netperf (this is for the case without the patch):
      
          tx packets
          ==========
          port counter:   1,543,996
          ifconfig:       1,581,426
          netperf:        5,142,034
      
          rx packets
          ==========
          netperf         1,1304,089

      IB/mlx4: Optimize QP stamping · 9670e553
      Eli Cohen authored
      The idea is that for QPs with fixed size work requests (eg selective
      signaling QPs), before stamping the WQE, we read the value of the DS
      field, which gives the effective size of the descriptor as used in the
      previous post.  Then we stamp only that area, since the rest of the
      descriptor is already stamped.
      
      When initializing the send queue buffer, make sure the DS field is
      initialized to the max descriptor size so that the subsequent stamping
      will be done on the entire descriptor area.

      IB/sa: Fail requests made while creating new SM AH · 164ba089
      Moni Shoua authored
      This patch solves a race that occurs after an event occurs that causes
      the SA query module to flush its SM address handle (AH).  When SM AH
      becomes invalid and needs an update it is handled by the global
      workqueue.  On the other hand this event is also handled in the IPoIB
      driver by queuing work in the ipoib_workqueue that does multicast
      joins.  Although queuing is in the right order, it is done to 2
      different workqueues and so there is no guarantee that the first to be
      queued is the first to be executed.
      
      This causes a problem because IPoIB may end up sending an request to
      the old SM, which will take a long time to time out (since the old SM
      is gone); this leads to a much longer than necessary interruption in
      multicast traffer.
      
      The patch sets the SA query module's SM AH to NULL when the event
      occurs, and until update_sm_ah() is done, any request that needs sm_ah
      fails with -EAGAIN return status.
      
      For consumers, the patch doesn't make things worse.  Before the patch,
      MADs are sent to the wrong SM so the request gets lost.  Consumers can
      be improved if they examine the return code and respond to EAGAIN
      properly but even without an improvement the situation is not getting
      worse.

      The SRP initiator is currently using ib_find_cached_pkey() and
