2006-03-30IB/mad: RMPP support for additional classesHal Rosenstock
Add RMPP support for additional management classes that support it. Also, validate RMPP is consistent with management class specified. Signed-off-by: Hal Rosenstock <halr@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2006-03-20IB/umad: Add support for large RMPP transfersJack Morgenstein
Add support for sending and receiving large RMPP transfers. The old code supports transfers only as large as a single contiguous kernel memory allocation. This patch uses linked list of memory buffers when sending and receiving data to avoid needing contiguous pages for larger transfers. Receive side: copy the arriving MADs in chunks instead of coalescing to one large buffer in kernel space. Send side: split a multipacket MAD buffer to a list of segments, (multipacket_list) and send these using a gather list of size 2. Also, save pointer to last sent segment, and retrieve requested segments by walking list starting at last sent segment. Finally, save pointer to last-acked segment. When retrying, retrieve segments for resending relative to this pointer. When updating last ack, start at this pointer.

2005-10-25[IB] Fix MAD layer DMA mappings to avoid touching data buffer once mappedSean Hefty
The MAD layer was violating the DMA API by touching data buffers used for sends after the DMA mapping was done. This causes problems on non-cache-coherent architectures, because the device doing DMA won't see updates to the payload buffers that exist only in the CPU cache. Fix this by having all MAD consumers use ib_create_send_mad() to allocate their send buffers, and moving the DMA mapping into the MAD layer so it can be done just before calling send (and after any modifications of the send buffer by the MAD layer). Tested on a non-cache-coherent PowerPC 440SPe system. Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-10-08[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

2005-09-21[IB] Add MAD data field size definitionsSean Hefty
Clean up code by using enums instead of hard-coded magic numbers. Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-09-09[PATCH] IB: Add struct for ClassPortInfoRoland Dreier
Add structure definition for ClassPortInfo format. This is needed for (at least) handling CM redirects. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-08-26[PATCH] IB: move include files to include/rdmaRoland Dreier
Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma. This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
