2007-10-09mlx4_core: Use mmiowb() to avoid firmware commands getting jumbled upRoland Dreier
Firmware commands are sent to the HCA by writing multiple words to a command register block. Access to this block of registers is serialized with a mutex. However, on large SGI systems writes to the register block may be reordered within the system interconnect and reach the HCA in a different order than they were issued (even with the mutex). Fix this by adding an mmiowb() before dropping the mutex. This bug was observed with real workloads with the similar FW command code in the mthca driver, and adding the mmiowb() as in commit 66547550 ("IB/mthca: Use mmiowb() to avoid firmware commands getting jumbled up") was confirmed to fix the problems, so we should add the same fix to mlx4.

2007-10-09mlx4_core: Use enum value GO_BIT_TIMEOUT_MSECSDotan Barak
Rename GO_BIT_TIMEOUT to GO_BIT_TIMEOUT_MSECS for clarity, and actually use it as the go bit timeout (instead of having the define but then ignoring it and using a hard-coded 10 * HZ for the actual timeout).

2007-07-20mlx4_core: Change command token on timeoutRoland Dreier
The FW command token is currently only updated on a command completion event. This means that on command timeout, the same token will be reused for new command, which results in a mess if the timed out command *does* eventually complete. This is the same change as the patch for mthca from Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@dev.mellanox.co.il> that was just merged. It seems sensible to avoid gratuitous differences in FW command processing between mthca and mlx4. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-05-08IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adaptersRoland 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.
