[PATCH rdma-core] irdma: Remove optimization algorithm for QP doorbell

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

 



Remove optimization algorithm for QP doorbell, because
without an mfence the algorithm incorrectly skips ringing
the doorbell. This causes applicaitons like OpenMPI with
high number of connections to stall waiting for completion.

Enforcing the order of the write of the WQE valid bit
and the read of the SQ tail is required by the algorithm,
but furher investigation is necessary because this does not
appear sufficient for the algorithm to work. In the meantime,
remove the doorbell optimization and fix the MPI failures.
