[PATCH v7 rdma-next 0/7] RDMA/qedr: Use the doorbell overflow recovery mechanism for RDMA

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

 



This patch series uses the doorbell overflow recovery mechanism
introduced in
commit 36907cd5cd72 ("qed: Add doorbell overflow recovery mechanism")
for rdma ( RoCE and iWARP )

The first five patches modify the core code to contain helper
functions for managing mmap_xa inserting, getting and freeing
entries. The code was based on the code from efa driver.
There is still an open discussion on whether we should take
this even further and make the entire mmap generic. Until a
decision is made, I only created the database API and modified
the efa, qedr, siw driver to use it. The functions are integrated
witht the umap mechanism.

The doorbell recovery code is based on the common code.

Efa driver was compile tested and checked only modprobe/rmmod.
SIW was compile tested only

rdma-core pull request #493

Changes from V6:
- Modified series description to be closer to what the series is now.
- Create a new file for the new rdma_user_mmap function. The file
  is called ib_uverbs_core. This file should contain functions related
  to user which are called by hw to eventually enable ib_uverbs to be
  optional.
- Modify SIW driver to use new mmap api.
- When calculating number of pages, need to round it up to PAGE_SIZE.
- Integrate the mmap_xa and umap mechanism so that the entries in
  mmap_xa now have a reference count and can be removed. Previously
  entries existed until context was destroyed. This modified the
  algorithm for allocating a free page range.
- Modify algorithm for inserting an entry into the mmap_xa.
- Rdma_umap_priv is now also used for all mmaps done using the
  mmap_xa helpers.
- Move remove_free header to core_priv.
- Rdma_user_mmap_entry now has a kref that is increase on mmap
  and umap_open and decreased on umap_close.
- Modify efa + qedr to remove the entry from xa_map. This will
  decrease the refcnt and free memory only if refcnt is zero.
- Rdma_user_mmap_io slightly modified to enable drivers not using
  the xa_mmap API to continue using it.
- Modify page allocation for user to use GFP_USER instead of GFP_KERNEL

Changes from V5:
- Switch between driver dealloc_ucontext and mmap_entries_remove call.
- No need to verify the key after using the key to load an entry from
  the mmap_xa.
- Change mmap_free api to pass an 'entry' object.
- Add documentation for mmap_free and for newly exported functions.
- Fix some extra/missing line breaks.

Changes from V4:
- Add common mmap database and cookie helper functions.

Changes from V3:
- Remove casts from void to u8. Pointer arithmetic can be done on void
- rebase to tip of rdma-next

Changes from V2:
- Don't use long-lived kmap. Instead use user-trigger mmap for the
  doorbell recovery entries.
- Modify dpi_addr to be denoted with __iomem and avoid redundant
  casts

Changes from V1:
- call kmap to map virtual address into kernel space
- modify db_rec_delete to be void
- remove some cpu_to_le16 that were added to previous patch which are
  correct but not related to the overflow recovery mechanism. Will be
  submitted as part of a different patch
