2008-02-08	IB/mlx4: Use multiple WQ blocks to post smaller send WQEs	Jack Morgenstein
	ConnectX HCA supports shrinking WQEs, so that a single work request can be made of multiple units of wqe_shift. This way, WRs can differ in size, and do not have to be a power of 2 in size, saving memory and speeding up send WR posting. Unfortunately, if we do this then the wqe_index field in CQEs can't be used to look up the WR ID anymore, so our implementation does this only if selective signaling is off. Further, on 32-bit platforms, we can't use vmap() to make the QP buffer virtually contigious. Thus we have to use constant-sized WRs to make sure a WR is always fully within a single page-sized chunk. Finally, we use WRs with the NOP opcode to avoid wrapping around the queue buffer in the middle of posting a WR, and we set the NoErrorCompletion bit to avoid getting completions with error for NOP WRs. However, NEC is only supported starting with firmware 2.2.232, so we use constant-sized WRs for older firmware. And, since MLX QPs only support SEND, we use constant-sized WRs in this case. When stamping during NOP posting, do stamping following setting of the NOP WQE valid bit. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2007-06-18	IB/mlx4: Make sure inline data segments don't cross a 64 byte boundary	Roland Dreier
	Inline data segments in send WQEs are not allowed to cross a 64 byte boundary. We use inline data segments to hold the UD headers for MLX QPs (QP0 and QP1). A send with GRH on QP1 will have a UD header that is too big to fit in a single inline data segment without crossing a 64 byte boundary, so split the header into two inline data segments.

2007-05-08	IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adapters	Roland Dreier
	Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a device without stepping on each other. mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the InfiniBand midlayer.
