      IB/mlx4: Remove extra code for RESET->ERR QP state transition · 7c27f358
      Roland Dreier authored 
      Commit 65adfa91 ("IB/mlx4: Fix RESET to RESET and RESET to ERROR
transitions") added some extra code to handle a QP state transition
from RESET to ERROR.  However, the latest 1.2.1 version of the IB spec
has clarified that this transition is actually not allowed, so we can
remove this extra code again.

      IB/core: Reset to error QP state transition is not allowed · e5a5e7d5
      Ralph Campbell authored 
      I was reviewing the QP state transition diagram in the IB 1.2.1 spec
and the code for qp_state_table[], and noticed that the code allows a
QP to be modified from IB_QPS_RESET to IB_QPS_ERR whereas the notes
for figure 124 (pg 457) specifically says that this transition isn't
allowed.  This is a clarification from earlier versions of the IB
spec, which were ambiguous in this area and suggested that the RESET
to ERR transition was allowed.

Fix up the qp_state_table[] to make RESET->ERR not allowed.

      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
    14.4.3.178 (14.4.3.178) port 0 AF_INET
    Socket  Message  Elapsed      Messages
    Size    Size     Time         Okay Errors   Throughput
    bytes   bytes    secs            #      #   10^6bits/sec

    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
    ==========

      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
ib_get_cached_gid() in situations where the uncached ib_find_pkey()

and performance is not an issue.  Since we want to eliminate the
