From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Changelog v0 -> v1: * Removed phys_addr dependency from kconfig ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From Ariel, This series of patches adds user space managed steering infrastructure to the mlx5_ib driver. User space managed steering requires the means to access a dedicated memory space that is used by the device to store the packet steering and header modification tables and rules in order to manage them directly without the device's firmware involvement. This dedicated memory is part of the ICM memory space. The changes are introducing the mlx5_ib API to allocate, deallocate and register this dedicated SW ICM memory via the existing device memory API using a private attribute which specifies the memory type. The allocated memory itself is not IO mapped and user can only access it using remote RDMA operations. In addition, the series exposed the ICM address of the receive transport interface (TIR) of Raw Packet and RSS QPs to user since they are required to properly create and insert steering rules that direct flows to these QPs.
