menuconfig INFINIBAND
tristate "InfiniBand support"
depends on PCI || BROKEN
depends on HAS_IOMEM
---help---
Core support for InfiniBand (IB). Make sure to also select
any protocols you wish to use as well as drivers for your
InfiniBand hardware.
if INFINIBAND
config INFINIBAND_USER_MAD
tristate "InfiniBand userspace MAD support"
depends on INFINIBAND
---help---
Userspace InfiniBand Management Datagram (MAD) support. This
is the kernel side of the userspace MAD support, which allows
userspace processes to send and receive MADs. You will also
need libibumad from <http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/management/>.
config INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS
tristate "InfiniBand userspace access (verbs and CM)"
select ANON_INODES
---help---
Userspace InfiniBand access support. This enables the
kernel side of userspace verbs and the userspace
communication manager (CM). This allows userspace processes
to set up connections and directly access InfiniBand
hardware for fast-path operations. You will also need
libibverbs, libibcm and a hardware driver library from
<http://www.openfabrics.org/git/>.
IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace, rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the low-level driver's reg_user_mr method. Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on ib_uverbs. This has a number of advantages: - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as the details of specific devices dictate. - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch, the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions. - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags. - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4 to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
