[PATCH v2 rdma-next 0/8] Introduce mlx5 Memory Scheme ODP

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

 



This series introduces a new ODP scheme in mlx5 where the FW takes the
responsibility of parsing and providing page fault data to the driver
to handle the fault.
As opposed to the current ODP transport scheme where the driver is
responsible for reading and parsing work queues and querying mkeys to
acquire needed info to handle the page fault.

The new scheme allows driver to support ODP over Devx QPs where driver
is not able to access the QP buffers, owned by the user application,
to read the work queue requests.
Furthermore, the new scheme allows support for ODP with new indirect
MKEY types as the driver doesn't need to query or parse indirect mkeys
in this scheme.

The driver will enable the new scheme on devices that have the relevant
capabilities. Otherwise, transport scheme ODP will be the default.

The move to memory scheme ODP is transparent to existing ODP
applications and no change is needed.
New application that want to take advantage of the new functionality
should query which scheme is active and it's capabilities using Devx.

v1->v2:
- switch mlx5_umem_find_best_pgsz to a function and rename
