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>
2007-02-12IB/mthca: Fix access to MTT and MPT tables on non-cache-coherent CPUsMichael S. Tsirkin
We allocate the MTT table with alloc_pages() and then do pci_map_sg(), so we must call pci_dma_sync_sg() after the CPU writes to the MTT table. This works since the device will never write MTTs on mem-free HCAs, once we get rid of the use of the WRITE_MTT firmware command. This change is needed to make that work, and is an improvement for now, since it gives FMRs a chance at working. For MPTs, both the device and CPU might write there, so we must allocate DMA coherent memory for these. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2006-08-11IB/mthca: Fix potential AB-BA deadlock with CQ locksRoland Dreier
When destroying a QP, mthca locks both the QP's send CQ and receive CQ. However, the following scenario is perfectly valid: QP_a: send_cq == CQ_x, recv_cq == CQ_y QP_b: send_cq == CQ_y, recv_cq == CQ_x The old mthca code simply locked send_cq and then recv_cq, which in this case could lead to an AB-BA deadlock if QP_a and QP_b were destroyed simultaneously. We can fix this by changing the locking code to lock the CQ with the lower CQ number first, which will create a consistent lock ordering. Also, the second CQ is locked with spin_lock_nested() to tell lockdep that we know what we're doing with the lock nesting. This bug was found by lockdep.

2006-06-17IB/mthca: Make all device methods truly reentrantRoland Dreier
Documentation/infiniband/core_locking.txt says: All of the methods in struct ib_device exported by a low-level driver must be fully reentrant. The low-level driver is required to perform all synchronization necessary to maintain consistency, even if multiple function calls using the same object are run simultaneously. However, mthca's modify_qp, modify_srq and resize_cq methods are currently not reentrant. Add a mutex to the QP, SRQ and CQ structures so that these calls can be properly serialized.

2006-05-09IB/mthca: Fix race in reference countingRoland Dreier
Fix races in in destroying various objects. If a destroy routine waits for an object to become free by doing wait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount)); /* now clean up and destroy the object */ and another place drops a reference to the object by doing if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount)) wake_up(&obj->wait); then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the wake_up(). And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be called on part of the already-freed object. Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old integers protected by a spinlock. This makes it possible to do the decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue. While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it. So there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-04-10IB: simplify static rate encodingJack Morgenstein
Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers, where it belongs. 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. This also fixes mthca's static rate handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-20IB/mthca: Add device-specific support for resizing CQsRoland Dreier
Add low-level driver support for resizing CQs (both kernel and userspace) to mthca. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-11-10[IB] uverbs: have kernel return QP capabilitiesJack Morgenstein
Move the computation of QP capabilities (max scatter/gather entries, max inline data, etc) into the kernel, and have the uverbs module return the values as part of the create QP response. This keeps precise knowledge of device limits in the low-level kernel driver. This requires an ABI bump, so while we're making changes, get rid of the max_sge parameter for the modify SRQ command -- it's not used and shouldn't be there.

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>

2005-04-16[PATCH] IB/mthca: add fast memory region implementationMichael S. Tsirkin
Implement fast memory regions (FMRs), where the driver writes directly into the HCA's translation tables rather than requiring a firmware command. For Tavor, MTTs for FMR are separate from regular MTTs, and are reserved at driver initialization. This is done to limit the amount of virtual memory needed to map the MTTs. For Arbel, there's no such limitation, and all MTTs and MPTs may be used for FMR or for regular MR. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
