Re: [PATCH 10/17] RDMA/mlx5: Add attr for max number page list length for PI operation

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

 




PI offload (protection information) is a feature that each RDMA provider
can implement differently. Thus, introduce new device attribute to define
the maximal length of the page list for PI fast registration operation. For
example, mlx5 driver uses a single internal MR to map both data and
protection SGL's, so it's equal to max_fast_reg_page_list_len / 2.

This is a result of using a single MR, you guys know the use cases
better than I do at this point, is it acceptable? Because you could
have used more than a single MR (although it seems reasonable to me
given the overhead of allocating extra MRs for it...)
