This patch series implements work queues as an alternative for the main tasklets in the rdma_rxe driver. The first few patches perform some cleanups of the current tasklet code followed by a patch that makes the internal API for task execution pluggable and implements an inline and a tasklet based set of functions. The remaining patches cleanup the qp reset and error code in the three tasklets and modify the locking logic to prevent making multiple calls to the tasklet scheduling routine. Finally after this preparation the work queue equivalent set of functions is added and module parameters are implemented to allow tuning the task types. The advantages of the work queue version of deferred task execution is mainly that the work queue variant has much better scalability and overall performance than the tasklet variant. The tasklet performance saturates with one connected queue pair and stays constant. The work queue performance is slightly better for one queue pair but scales up with the number of connected queue pairs. The perftest microbenchmarks in local loopback mode (not a very realistic test case) can reach approximately 100Gb/sec with work queues compared to about 16Gb/sec for tasklets. This patch series is derived from an earlier patch set developed by Ian Ziemba at HPE which is used in some Lustre storage clients attached to Lustre servers with hard RoCE v2 NICs.
