2007-06-18	IB/mlx4: Handle new FW requirement for send request prefetching	Roland Dreier
	New ConnectX firmware introduces FW command interface revision 2, which requires that for each QP, a chunk of send queue entries (the "headroom") is kept marked as invalid, so that the HCA doesn't get confused if it prefetches entries that haven't been posted yet. Add code to the driver to do this, and also update the user ABI so that userspace can request that the prefetcher be turned off for userspace QPs (we just leave the prefetcher on for all kernel QPs). Unfortunately, marking send queue entries this way is confuses older firmware, so we change the driver to allow only FW command interface revisions 2. This means that users will have to update their firmware to work with the new driver, but the firmware is changing quickly and the old firmware has lots of other bugs anyway, so this shouldn't be too big a deal. Based on a patch from Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il>. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-05-20	IB/mlx4: Pass send queue sizes from userspace to kernel	Eli Cohen
	Pass the number of WQEs for the send queue and their size from userspace to the kernel to avoid having to keep the QP size calculations in sync between the kernel driver and libmlx4. This fixes a bug seen with the current mlx4_ib driver and current libmlx4 caused by a difference in the calculated sizes for SQ WQEs. Also, this gives more flexibility for userspace to experiment with using multiple WQE BBs for a single SQ WQE.

2007-05-08	IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adapters	Roland Dreier
	Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a device without stepping on each other. mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the InfiniBand midlayer.
