2008-07-14RDMA: Remove subversion $Id tagsRoland Dreier
They don't get updated by git and so they're worse than useless. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2008-04-19IB: convert struct class_device to struct deviceTony Jones
This converts the main ib_device to use struct device instead of struct class_device as class_device is going away.

2008-04-16IB/uverbs: Don't store struct file * for event filesRoland Dreier
The file member of struct ib_uverbs_event_file was only used to keep track of whether the file had been closed or not. The only thing we ever did with the value was check if it was NULL or not. Simplify the code and get rid of the need to keep track of the struct file * we allocate by replacing the file member with an is_closed member. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-10-09IB/uverbs: Make ib_uverbs_release_event_file() staticRoland Dreier
ib_uverbs_release_event_file() is only used in uverbs_main.c, so make it static to that file. Also move the definition before the first use, so a forward declaration is not needed. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-05-08IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modulesRoland Dreier
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>
2006-08-03IB/uverbs: Avoid a crash on device hot removeJack Morgenstein
Wait until all users have closed their device context before allowing device unregistration to complete. This prevents a crash caused by referring to stale data structures. A better solution would be to have a way to revoke contexts rather than waiting for userspace to close the context, but that's a much bigger change that will have to wait. For now let's at least avoid the crash. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-06-17IB/uverbs: Don't serialize with ib_uverbs_idr_mutexRoland Dreier
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>
2006-03-20IB/uverbs: Support for query SRQ from userspaceDotan Barak
Add support to uverbs to handle querying userspace SRQs (shared receive queues), including adding an ABI for marshalling requests and responses.

uverbs needs to track which multicast groups is each qp attached to, in order to properly detach when cleanup is performed on device file close.

2005-10-31[IB] uverbs: Avoid NULL pointer deref on CQ async eventRoland Dreier
Userspace CQs that have no completion event channel attached end up with their cq_context set to NULL. However, asynchronous events like "CQ overrun" can still occur on such CQs, so add a uverbs_file member to struct ib_ucq_object that we can follow to deliver these events.

2005-10-28[IB] uverbs: Fix device lifetime problemsRoland Dreier
Move ib_uverbs module to using cdev_alloc() and class_device_create() so that we can handle device lifetime properly. Now we can make sure we keep all of our data structures around until the last way to reach them is gone. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-10-17[IB] uverbs: Implement more commandsRoland Dreier
Add kernel support for userspace calling poll CQ, request CQ notification, post send, post receive, post SRQ receive, create AH and destroy AH commands. These commands allow us to support userspace verbs for devices that can't perform these operations directly from userspace (eg the PathScale HCA). Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-10-17[IB] uverbs: ABI-breaking fixes for userspace verbsRoland Dreier
Introduce new userspace verbs ABI version 3. This eliminates some unneeded commands, and adds support for user-created completion channels. This cleans up problems with file leaks on error paths, and also makes sure that file descriptors are always installed into the correct process. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-09-26[IB] uverbs: Close some exploitable racesRoland Dreier
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. This patch closes those races, and fixes other obvious problems such as a module reference leak. Some other interface bogosities will require an ABI change to fix properly, so I'm deferring those fixes until 2.6.15. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-09-09Make sure that userspace does not retrieve stale asynchronous orRoland Dreier
completion events after destroying a CQ, QP or SRQ. We do this by sweeping the event lists before returning from a destroy calls, and then return the number of events already reported before the destroy call. This allows userspace wait until it has processed all events for an object returned from the kernel before it frees its context for the object. The ABI of the destroy CQ, destroy QP and destroy SRQ commands has to change to return the event count, so bump the ABI version from 1 to 2. The userspace libibverbs library has already been updated to handle both the old and new ABI versions. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-08-26[PATCH] IB: move include files to include/rdmaRoland Dreier
Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma. This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-08-26[PATCH] IB: userspace SRQ supportRoland Dreier
Add SRQ support to userspace verbs module. This adds several commands and associated structures, but it's OK to do this without bumping the ABI version because the commands are added at the end of the list so they don't change the existing numbering. There are two cases to worry about: 1. New kernel, old userspace. This is OK because old userspace simply won't try to use the new SRQ commands. None of the old commands are changed. 2. Old kernel, new userspace. This works perfectly as long as userspace doesn't try to use SRQ commands. If userspace tries to use SRQ commands, it will get EINVAL, which is perfectly reasonable: the kernel doesn't support SRQs, so we couldn't do any better.
