2007-07-28IB/ehca: Move extern declarations from .c files to .h filesHoang-Nam Nguyen
Make sure declarations stay in sync with definitions by keeping all extern declarations in common .h files. Signed-off-by: Hoang-Nam Nguyen <hnguyen@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-07-20IB/ehca: Support small QP queuesStefan Roscher
eHCA2 supports QP queues that can be as small as 512 bytes. This greatly reduces memory overhead for consumers that use lots of QPs with small queues (e.g. RDMA-only QPs). Apart from dealing with firmware, this code needs to manage bite-sized chunks of kernel pages, making sure that no kernel page is shared between different protection domains.

2007-07-17IB/ehca: Fix warnings issued by checkpatch.plHoang-Nam Nguyen
Run the existing ehca code through checkpatch.pl and clean up the worst of the coding style violations. Signed-off-by: Joachim Fenkes <fenkes@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-07-09IB/ehca: Refactor "maybe missed event" codeJoachim Fenkes
Refactor the ehca changes from commit ed23a727 ("IB: Return "maybe missed event" hint from ib_req_notify_cq()") so the queue arithmetic is done in slightly fewer lines. Also, move the spinlock flags into the block they're used in. Signed-off-by: Joachim Fenkes <fenkes@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-05-06IB: Return "maybe missed event" hint from ib_req_notify_cq()Roland Dreier
The semantics defined by the InfiniBand specification say that completion events are only generated when a completions is added to a completion queue (CQ) after completion notification is requested. In other words, this means that the following race is possible: while (CQ is not empty) ib_poll_cq(CQ); // new completion is added after while loop is exited ib_req_notify_cq(CQ); // no event is generated for the existing completion To close this race, the IB spec recommends doing another poll of the CQ after requesting notification. However, it is not always possible to arrange code this way (for example, we have found that NAPI for IPoIB cannot poll after requesting notification). Also, some hardware (eg Mellanox HCAs) actually will generate an event for completions added before the call to ib_req_notify_cq() -- which is allowed by the spec, since there's no way for any upper-layer consumer to know exactly when a completion was really added -- so the extra poll of the CQ is just a waste. Motivated by this, we add a new flag "IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS" for ib_req_notify_cq() so that it can return a hint about whether the a completion may have been added before the request for notification. The return value of ib_req_notify_cq() is extended so: < 0 means an error occurred while requesting notification == 0 means notification was requested successfully, and if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in, then no events were missed and it is safe to wait for another event. > 0 is only returned if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in. It means that the consumer must poll the CQ again to make sure it is empty to avoid the race described above. We add a flag to enable this behavior rather than turning it on unconditionally, because checking for missed events may incur significant overhead for some low-level drivers, and consumers that don't care about the results of this test shouldn't be forced to pay for the test.

2006-11-29IB/ehca: Use WQE offset instead of WQE addr for pending work reqsHoang-Nam Nguyen
This is a patch for ehca to fix a bug in prepare_sqe_to_rts(), which used WQE address to iterate pending work requests. This might cause an access violation since the queue pages can not be assumed to follow each other consecutively. Thus, this patch introduces a few queue functions to determine WQE offset based on its address and uses WQE offset to iterate the pending work requests.
