2009-11-19RDMA/cm: fix loopback address supportSean Hefty
The RDMA CM is intended to support the use of a loopback address when establishing a connection; however, the behavior of the CM when loopback addresses are used is confusing and does not always work, depending on whether loopback was specified by the server, the client, or both. The defined behavior of rdma_bind_addr is to associate an RDMA device with an rdma_cm_id, as long as the user specified a non- zero address. (ie they weren't just trying to reserve a port) Currently, if the loopback address is passed to rdam_bind_addr, no device is associated with the rdma_cm_id. Fix this. If a loopback address is specified by the client as the destination address for a connection, it will fail to establish a connection. This is true even if the server is listing across all addresses or on the loopback address itself. The issue is that the server tries to translate the IP address carried in the REQ message to a local net_device address, which fails. The translation is not needed in this case, since the REQ carries the actual HW address that should be used. Finally, cleanup loopback support to be more transport neutral. Replace separate calls to get/set the sgid and dgid from the device address to a single call that behaves correctly depending on the format of the device address. And support both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats.

2009-11-19IB/addr: Store net_device type instead of translating to RDMA transportSean Hefty
The struct rdma_dev_addr stores net_device address information: the source device address, destination hardware address, and broadcast address. For consistency, store the net_device type rather than converting it to the rdma_node_type. The type indicates the format of the various hardware addresses, which is what we're concerned with, and not the RDMA node type that the address may map to.

2009-11-19RDMA/cma: Replace net_device pointer with indexSean Hefty
Provide the device interface when resolving route information to ensure that the correct outbound device is used. This will also simplify processing of sin6_scope_id for IPv6 support.

2008-07-14RDMA/addr: Keep pointer to netdevice in struct rdma_dev_addrOr Gerlitz
Keep a pointer to the local (src) netdevice in struct rdma_dev_addr, and copy it in as part of rdma_copy_addr(). Use rdma_translate_ip() in cma_new_conn_id() to reduce some code duplication and also make sure the src_dev member gets set. In a high-availability configuration the netdevice pointer can be used by the RDMA CM to align RDMA sessions to use the same links as the IP stack does under fail-over and route change cases.

2008-07-14RDMA: Fix license textSean Hefty
The license text for several files references a third software license that was inadvertently copied in. Update the license to what was intended. This update was based on a request from HP. Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-02-16IB/sa: Track multicast join/leave requestsSean Hefty
The IB SA tracks multicast join/leave requests on a per port basis and does not do any reference counting: if two users of the same port join the same group, and one leaves that group, then the SA will remove the port from the group even though there is one user who wants to stay a member left. Therefore, in order to support multiple users of the same multicast group from the same port, we need to perform reference counting locally. To do this, add an multicast submodule to ib_sa to perform reference counting of multicast join/leave operations. Modify ib_ipoib (the only in-kernel user of multicast) to use the new interface.

2006-09-22RDMA: iWARP Core Changes.Tom Tucker
Modifications to the existing rdma header files, core files, drivers, and ulp files to support iWARP, including: - Hook iWARP CM into the build system and use it in rdma_cm. - Convert enum ib_node_type to enum rdma_node_type, which includes the possibility of RDMA_NODE_RNIC, and update everything for this.

2006-07-14[PATCH] IB/addr: gid structure alignment fixMichael S. Tsirkin
The device address contains unsigned character arrays, which contain raw GID addresses. The GIDs may not be naturally aligned, so do not cast them to structures or unions.
