From 062dbb69f32b9ccea701b30f8cc0049482e6211f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2006 21:09:42 +0200 Subject: IB: Return qp pointer as part of ib_wc struct ib_wc currently only includes the local QP number: this matches the IB spec, but seems mostly useless. The following patch replaces this with the pointer to qp itself, and updates all low level drivers and all users. This has the following advantages: - Ability to get a per-qp context through wc->qp->qp_context - Existing drivers already have the qp pointer ready in poll cq, so this change actually saves a tiny bit (extra memory read) on data path (for ehca it would actually be expensive to find the QP pointer when polling a CQ, but ehca does not support SRQ so we can leave wc->qp as NULL for ehca) - Users that need the QP number can still get it through wc->qp->qp_num Use case: In IPoIB connected mode code, I have a common CQ shared by multiple QPs. To track connection usage, I need a way to get at some per-QP context upon the completion, and I would like to avoid allocating context object per work request just to stick a QP pointer into it. With this code, I can just use wc->qp->qp_context. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
