2008-07-15netdev: Do not use TX lock to protect address lists.David S. Miller
Now that we have a specific lock to protect the network device unicast and multicast lists, remove extraneous grabs of the TX lock in cases where the code only needs address list protection. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-15netdev: Add netdev->addr_list_lock protection.David S. Miller
Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers. Use them to protect operations that operate on or read the network device unicast and multicast address lists. Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and ->set_multicast_list() methods. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-14IB/mlx4: Use kzalloc() for new QPs so flags are initialized to 0Eli Cohen
Current code uses kmalloc() and then just does a bitwise OR operation on qp->flags in create_qp_common(), which means that qp->flags may potentially have some unintended bits set. This patch uses kzalloc() and avoids further explicit clearing of structure members, which also shrinks the code: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-65 (-65) function old new delta create_qp_common 2024 1959 -65 Signed-off-by: Eli Cohen <eli@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2008-07-14RDMA/cma: Simplify locking needed for serialization of callbacksOr Gerlitz
The RDMA CM has some logic in place to make sure that callbacks on a given CM ID are delivered to the consumer in a serialized manner. Specifically it has code to protect against a device removal racing with a running callback function. This patch simplifies this logic by using a mutex per ID instead of a wait queue and atomic variable. This means that cma_disable_remove() now is more properly named to cma_disable_callback(), and cma_enable_remove() can now be removed because it just would become a trivial wrapper around mutex_unlock().

2008-07-14RDMA/addr: Keep pointer to netdevice in struct rdma_dev_addrOr Gerlitz
Keep a pointer to the local (src) netdevice in struct rdma_dev_addr, and copy it in as part of rdma_copy_addr(). Use rdma_translate_ip() in cma_new_conn_id() to reduce some code duplication and also make sure the src_dev member gets set. In a high-availability configuration the netdevice pointer can be used by the RDMA CM to align RDMA sessions to use the same links as the IP stack does under fail-over and route change cases.

2008-07-14RDMA/cxgb3: Fixes for zero STagSteve Wise
Handling the zero STag in receive work request requires some extra logic in the driver: - Only set the QP_PRIV bit for kernel mode QPs. - Add a zero STag build function for recv wrs. The uP needs a PBL allocated and passed down in the recv WR so it can construct a HW PBL for the zero STag S/G entries. Note: we need to place a few restrictions on zero STag usage because of this: 1) all SGEs in a recv WR must either be zero STag or not. No mixing. 2) an individual SGE length cannot exceed 128MB for a zero-stag SGE. This should be OK since it's not really practical to allocate such a large chunk of pinned contiguous DMA mapped memory. - Add an optimized non-zero-STag recv wr format for kernel users. This is needed to optimize both zero and non-zero STag cracking in the recv path for kernel users. - Remove the iwch_ prefix from the static build functions. - Bump required FW version.

2008-07-14RDMA/core: Add local DMA L_Key supportSteve Wise
- Change the IB_DEVICE_ZERO_STAG flag to the transport-neutral name IB_DEVICE_LOCAL_DMA_LKEY, which is used by iWARP RNICs to indicate 0 STag support and IB HCAs to indicate reserved L_Key support. - Add a u32 local_dma_lkey member to struct ib_device.

2008-07-14IB/mthca: Fix check of max_send_sge for special QPsRoland Dreier
The MLX transport requires two extra gather entries for sends (one for the header and one for the checksum at the end, as the comment says).

2008-07-14IPoIB: Double default RX/TX ring sizesEli Cohen
Increase IPoIB ring sizes to twice their original sizes (RX: 128->256, TX: 64->128) to act as a shock absorber for high traffic peaks. With the current settings, we have seen cases that there are many calls to netif_stop_queue(), which causes degradation in throughput. Also, larger receive buffer sizes help IPoIB in CM mode to avoid experiencing RNR NAK conditions due to insufficient receive buffers at the SRQ.

2008-07-14IPoIB/cm: Reduce connected mode TX object sizeEli Cohen

2008-07-14IB/ipath: Use IEEE OUI for vendor_id reported by ibv_query_device()Ralph Campbell
The IB spe. for SubnGet(NodeInfo) and query HCA says that the vendor ID field should be the IEEE OUI assigned to the vendor. The ipath driver was returning the PCI vendor ID instead. This will affect applications which call ibv_query_device(). The old value was 0x001fc1 or 0x001077, the new value is 0x001175. The vendor ID doesn't appear to be exported via /sys so that should reduce possible compatibility issues.

2008-07-14IPoIB: Use dev_set_mtu() to change mtuEli Cohen
When the driver sets the MTU of the net device outside of its change_mtu method, it should make use of dev_set_mtu() instead of directly setting the mtu field of struct netdevice. Otherwise functions registered to be called upon MTU change will not get called (this is done through call_netdevice_notifiers() in dev_set_mtu()).

2008-07-14IPoIB: Only set Q_Key once: after joining broadcast groupEli Cohen
The current code will set the Q_Key for any join of a non-sendonly multicast group. The operation involves a modify QP operation, which is fairly heavyweight, and is only really required after the join of the broadcast group.

Wrap this up in functions nes_free_cqp_request() and nes_put_cqp_request() to simplify such code.

2008-07-14IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM change eventsMoni Shoua
The patch tries to solve the problem of device going down and paths being flushed on an SM change event. The method is to mark the paths as candidates for refresh (by setting the new valid flag to 0), and wait for an ARP probe a new path record query. The solution requires a different and less intrusive handling of SM change event. For that, the second argument of the flush function changes its meaning from a boolean flag to a level. In most cases, SM failover doesn't cause LID change so traffic won't stop. In the rare cases of LID change, the remote host (the one that hadn't changed its LID) will lose connectivity until paths are refreshed. This is no worse than the current state. In fact, preventing the device from going down saves packets that otherwise would be lost.

2008-07-14RDMA/core: Add iWARP protocol statistics attributes in sysfsSteve Wise
This patch adds a sysfs attribute group called "proto_stats" under /sys/class/infiniband/$device/ and populates this group with protocol statistics if they exist for a given device. Currently, only iWARP stats are defined, but the code is designed to allow InfiniBand protocol stats if they become available. These stats are per-device and more importantly -not- per port. Details: - Add union rdma_protocol_stats in ib_verbs.h. This union allows defining transport-specific stats. Currently only iwarp stats are defined. - Add struct iw_protocol_stats to define the current set of iwarp protocol stats. - Add new ib_device method called get_proto_stats() to return protocol statistics. - Add logic in core/sysfs.c to create iwarp protocol stats attributes if the device is an RNIC and has a get_proto_stats() method.

2008-07-14IPoIB/cm: Fix racy use of receive WR/SGL in ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq()Roland Dreier
For devices that don't support SRQs, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() is called from both ipoib_cm_handle_rx_wc() and ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx(), and these two callers are not synchronized against each other. However, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() always reuses the same receive work request and scatter list structures, so multiple callers can end up stepping on each other, which leads to posting garbled work requests. Fix this by having the caller pass in the ib_recv_wr and ib_sge structures to use, and allocating new local structures in ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx().

2008-07-14RDMA/core: Add memory management extensions supportSteve Wise
This patch adds support for the IB "base memory management extension" (BMME) and the equivalent iWARP operations (which the iWARP verbs mandates all devices must implement). The new operations are: - Allocate an ib_mr for use in fast register work requests. - Allocate/free a physical buffer lists for use in fast register work requests. This allows device drivers to allocate this memory as needed for use in posting send requests (eg via dma_alloc_coherent). - New send queue work requests: * send with remote invalidate * fast register memory region * local invalidate memory region * RDMA read with invalidate local memory region (iWARP only) Consumer interface details: - A new device capability flag IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS is added to indicate device support for these features. - New send work request opcodes IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, IB_WR_LOCAL_INV, IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV are added. - A new consumer API function, ib_alloc_mr() is added to allocate fast register memory regions. - New consumer API functions, ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list() and ib_free_fast_reg_page_list() are added to allocate and free device-specific memory for fast registration page lists. - A new consumer API function, ib_update_fast_reg_key(), is added to allow the key portion of the R_Key and L_Key of a fast registration MR to be updated. Consumers call this if desired before posting a IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR work request. Consumers can use this as follows: - MR is allocated with ib_alloc_mr(). - Page list memory is allocated with ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list(). - MR R_Key/L_Key "key" field is updated with ib_update_fast_reg_key(). - MR made VALID and bound to a specific page list via ib_post_send(IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR) - MR made INVALID via ib_post_send(IB_WR_LOCAL_INV), ib_post_send(IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV) or an incoming send with invalidate operation. - MR is deallocated with ib_dereg_mr() - page lists dealloced via ib_free_fast_reg_page_list(). Applications can allocate a fast register MR once, and then can repeatedly bind the MR to different physical block lists (PBLs) via posting work requests to a send queue (SQ). For each outstanding MR-to-PBL binding in the SQ pipe, a fast_reg_page_list needs to be allocated (the fast_reg_page_list is owned by the low-level driver from the consumer posting a work request until the request completes). Thus pipelining can be achieved while still allowing device-specific page_list processing. The 32-bit fast register memory key/STag is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit key. The application can change the key each time it fast registers thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the key/STag (ie it can effectively be changed each time the rkey is rebound to a page list).

2008-07-14IPoIB: Copy small received SKBs in connected modeEli Cohen
The connected mode implementation in the IPoIB driver has a large overhead in the way SKBs are handled in the receive flow. It usually allocates an SKB with as big as was used in the currently received SKB and moves unused fragments from the old SKB to the new one. This involves a loop on all the remaining fragments and incurs overhead on the CPU. This patch, for small SKBs, allocates an SKB just large enough to contain the received data and copies to it the data from the received SKB. The newly allocated SKB is passed to the stack and the old SKB is reposted. When running netperf, UDP small messages, without this pach I get: UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 14.4.3.178 (14.4.3.178) port 0 AF_INET Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 114688 128 10.00 5142034 0 526.31 114688 10.00 1130489 115.71 With this patch I get both send and receive at ~315 mbps. The reason that send performance actually slows down is as follows: When using this patch, the overhead of the CPU for handling RX packets is dramatically reduced. As a result, we do not experience RNR NAK messages from the receiver which cause the connection to be closed and reopened again; when the patch is not used, the receiver cannot handle the packets fast enough so there is less time to post new buffers and hence the mentioned RNR NACKs. So what happens is that the application *thinks* it posted a certain number of packets for transmission but these packets are flushed and do not really get transmitted. Since the connection gets opened and closed many times, each time netperf gets the CPU time that otherwise would have been given to IPoIB to actually transmit the packets. This can be verified when looking at the port counters -- the output of ifconfig and the oputput of netperf (this is for the case without the patch): tx packets ========== port counter: 1,543,996 ifconfig: 1,581,426 netperf: 5,142,034 rx packets ========== netperf 1,1304,089 Signed-off-by: Eli Cohen <eli@mellanox.co.il>

2008-07-14IB/mlx4: Optimize QP stampingEli Cohen
The idea is that for QPs with fixed size work requests (eg selective signaling QPs), before stamping the WQE, we read the value of the DS field, which gives the effective size of the descriptor as used in the previous post. Then we stamp only that area, since the rest of the descriptor is already stamped. When initializing the send queue buffer, make sure the DS field is initialized to the max descriptor size so that the subsequent stamping will be done on the entire descriptor area.
