| 2009-04-02 | RDS: Use spinlock to protect 64b value update on 32b archs | Andy Grover | |
| We have a 64bit value that needs to be set atomically. This is easy and quick on all 64bit archs, and can also be done on x86/32 with set_64bit() (uses cmpxchg8b). However other 32b archs don't have this. I actually changed this to the current state in preparation for mainline because the old way (using a spinlock on 32b) resulted in unsightly #ifdefs in the code. But obviously, being correct takes precedence. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> | |||
| 2009-02-26 | RDS: Add iWARP support | Andy Grover | |
| Support for iWARP NICs is implemented as a separate RDS transport from IB. The code, however, is very similar to IB (it was forked, basically.) so let's keep it in one changeset. The reason for this duplicationis that despite its similarity to IB, there are a number of places where it has different semantics. iwarp zcopy support is still under development, and giving it its own sandbox ensures that IB code isn't disrupted while iwarp changes. Over time these transports will re-converge. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> | |||
