[PATCH v5 for-next 3/3] IB/core: Obtain subnet_prefix from cache in IB devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ib_query_port() calls device->ops.query_port() to get the port
attributes. The method of querying is device driver specific.
The same function calls device->ops.query_gid() to get the GID and
extract the subnet_prefix (gid_prefix).

The GID and subnet_prefix are stored in a cache. But they do not get
read from the cache if the device is an Infiniband device. The
following change takes advantage of the cached subnet_prefix.
Testing with RDBMS has shown a significant improvement in performance
with this change.

The function ib_cache_is_initialised() is introduced because
ib_query_port() gets called early in the stage when the cache is not
built while reading port immutable property.

In that case, the default GID still gets read from HCA for IB link-
layer devices.

In the situation of an event causing cache update, the subnet_prefix
will get retrieved from newly updated GID cache in ib_cache_update(),
so that we do not end up reading a stale value from cache via
ib_query_port().

v1 -> v2:
    -   Split the v1 patch in 3 patches as per Leon's suggestion.

v2 -> v3:
    -   Added changes as per Mark Zhang's suggestion of clearing
        flags in git_table_cleanup_one().
v3 -> v4:
    -   Removed the enum ib_port_data_flags and 8 byte flags from
        struct ib_port_data, and the set_bit()/clear_bit() API
        used to update this flag as that was not necessary.
        Done to keep the code simple.
    -   Added code to read subnet_prefix from updated GID cache in the
        event of cache update. Prior to this change, ib_cache_update
        was reading the value for subnet_prefix via ib_query_port(),
        due to this patch, we ended up reading a stale cached value of
        subnet_prefix.
v4 -> v5:
    -   Removed the code to reset cache_is_initialised bit from cleanup
        as per Leon's suggestion.
    -   Removed ib_cache_is_initialised() function.
