[RFC PATCH 0/3] RDMA/rxe: Add dma-buf support

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

 



This patch series add a support for rxe driver.

A dma-buf based memory registering has beed introduced to use the memory
region that lack of associated page structures (e.g. device memory and CMA
managed memory) [1]. However, to use the dma-buf based memory, each rdma
device drivers require add some implementation. The rxe driver has not
support yet.

To enable to use the memories in rxe rdma device, add some changes and
implementation in this patch series.

This series consists of three patches. The first patch changes the IB core
to support for rdma drivers that have not real dma device. The second
patch extracts a memory mapping process of rxe as a common function to use
a dma-buf support. The third patch adds the dma-buf support to rxe driver.

Related user space RDMA library changes are provided as a separate
patch.
