Commit 400dbc9658 ("IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs
commands") added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands
while later commit 436f2ad05a ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow
through uverbs") exported ib_create_flow()/ib_destroy_flow() functions
using this new infrastructure.
According to the commit 400dbc9658, the purpose of this
infrastructure is to support passing around provider (eg. hardware)
specific buffers when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that
it would be possible to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently
from the provider buffers.
But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified to
take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by Roland
Dreier in a previous review[1].
So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command
infrastructure.
This improved extensible command infrastructure distinguish between
core (eg. legacy)'s command/response buffers from provider
(eg. hardware)'s command/response buffers: each extended command
implementing function is given a struct ib_udata to hold core
(eg. uverbs) input and output buffers, and another struct ib_udata to
hold the hw (eg. provider) input and output buffers.
Having those buffers identified separately make it easier to increase
one buffer to support extension without having to add some code to
guess the exact size of each command/response parts: This should make
the extended functions more reliable.
Additionally, instead of relying on command identifier being greater
than IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD, the proposed infrastructure rely on
unused bits in command field: on the 32 bits provided by command
field, only 6 bits are really needed to encode the identifier of
commands currently supported by the kernel. (Even using only 6 bits
leaves room for about 23 new commands).
So this patch makes use of some high order bits in command field to
store flags, leaving enough room for more command identifiers than one
will ever need (eg. 256).
The new flags are used to specify if the command should be processed
as an extended one or a legacy one. While designing the new command
format, care was taken to make usage of flags itself extensible.
Using high order bits of the commands field ensure that newer
libibverbs on older kernel will properly fail when trying to call
extended commands. On the other hand, older libibverbs on newer kernel
will never be able to issue calls to extended commands.
The extended command header includes the optional response pointer so
that output buffer length and output buffer pointer are located
together in the command, allowing proper parameters checking. This
should make implementing functions easier and safer.
Additionally the extended header ensure 64bits alignment, while making
all sizes multiple of 8 bytes, extending the maximum buffer size:
legacy extended
Maximum command buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
Maximum response buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
For the purpose of doing proper buffer size accounting, the headers
size are no more taken in account in "in_words".
One of the odds of the current extensible infrastructure, reading
twice the "legacy" command header, is fixed by removing the "legacy"
command header from the extended command header: they are processed as
two different parts of the command: memory is read once and
information are not duplicated: it's making clear that's an extended
command scheme and not a different command scheme.
The proposed scheme will format input (command) and output (response)
buffers this way:
- command:
legacy header +
extended header +
command data (core + hw):
+----------------------------------------+
| flags | 00 00 | command |
| in_words | out_words |
+----------------------------------------+
| response |
| response |
| provider_in_words | provider_out_words |
| padding |
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <uverbs input> .
. (in_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <provider input> .
. (provider_in_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
- response, if present:
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <uverbs output space> .
. (out_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <provider output space> .
. (provider_out_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
The overall design is to ensure that the extensible infrastructure is
itself extensible while begin more reliable with more input and bound
checking.
Note:
The unused field in the extended header would be perfect candidate to
hold the command "comp_mask" (eg. bit field used to handle
compatibility). This was suggested by Roland Dreier in a previous
review[2]. But "comp_mask" field is likely to be present in the uverb
input and/or provider input, likewise for the response, as noted by
Matan Barak[3], so it doesn't make sense to put "comp_mask" in the
header.

The RDMA stack allows for applications to create IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET
QPs, which receive plain Ethernet packets, specifically packets that
don't carry any QPN to be matched by the receiving side. Applications
using these QPs must be provided with a method to program some
steering rule with the HW so packets arriving at the local port can be
routed to them.
This patch adds ib_create_flow(), which allow providing a flow
specification for a QP. When there's a match between the
specification and a received packet, the packet is forwarded to that
QP, in a the same way one uses ib_attach_multicast() for IB UD
multicast handling.
Flow specifications are provided as instances of struct ib_flow_spec_yyy,
which describe L2, L3 and L4 headers. Currently specs for Ethernet, IPv4,
TCP and UDP are defined. Flow specs are made of values and masks.
The input to ib_create_flow() is a struct ib_flow_attr, which contains
a few mandatory control elements and optional flow specs.
struct ib_flow_attr {
enum ib_flow_attr_type type;
u16 size;
u16 priority;
u32 flags;
u8 num_of_specs;
u8 port;
/* Following are the optional layers according to user request
* struct ib_flow_spec_yyy
* struct ib_flow_spec_zzz
*/
};
As these specs are eventually coming from user space, they are defined and
used in a way which allows adding new spec types without kernel/user ABI
change, just with a little API enhancement which defines the newly added spec.
The flow spec structures are defined with TLV (Type-Length-Value)
entries, which allows calling ib_create_flow() with a list of variable
length of optional specs.
For the actual processing of ib_flow_attr the driver uses the number
of specs and the size mandatory fields along with the TLV nature of
the specs.
Steering rules processing order is according to the domain over which
the rule is set and the rule priority. All rules set by user space
applicatations fall into the IB_FLOW_DOMAIN_USER domain, other domains
could be used by future IPoIB RFS and Ethetool flow-steering interface
implementation. Lower numerical value for the priority field means
higher priority.
The returned value from ib_create_flow() is a struct ib_flow, which
contains a database pointer (handle) provided by the HW driver to be
used when calling ib_destroy_flow().
Applications that offload TCP/IP traffic can also be written over IB
UD QPs. The ib_create_flow() / ib_destroy_flow() API is designed to
support UD QPs too. A HW driver can set IB_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLOW_STEERING
to denote support for flow steering.
The ib_flow_attr enum type supports usage of flow steering for promiscuous
and sniffer purposes:
IB_FLOW_ATTR_NORMAL - "regular" rule, steering according to rule specification
IB_FLOW_ATTR_ALL_DEFAULT - default unicast and multicast rule, receive
all Ethernet traffic which isn't steered to any QP
IB_FLOW_ATTR_MC_DEFAULT - same as IB_FLOW_ATTR_ALL_DEFAULT but only for multicast
IB_FLOW_ATTR_SNIFFER - sniffer rule, receive all port traffic
ALL_DEFAULT and MC_DEFAULT rules options are valid only for Ethernet link type.

This patch enhances the IB core support for Memory Windows (MWs).
MWs allow an application to have better/flexible control over remote
access to memory.
Two types of MWs are supported, with the second type having two flavors:
Type 1 - associated with PD only
Type 2A - associated with QPN only
Type 2B - associated with PD and QPN
Applications can allocate a MW once, and then repeatedly bind the MW
to different ranges in MRs that are associated to the same PD. Type 1
windows are bound through a verb, while type 2 windows are bound by
posting a work request.
The 32-bit memory key is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit
key. The key is changed with each bind, thus allowing more control
over the peer's use of the memory key.
The changes introduced are the following:
* add memory window type enum and a corresponding parameter to ib_alloc_mw.
* type 2 memory window bind work request support.
* create a struct that contains the common part of the bind verb struct
ibv_mw_bind and the bind work request into a single struct.
* add the ib_inc_rkey helper function to advance the tag part of an rkey.
Consumer interface details:
* new device capability flags IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A and
IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B are added to indicate device support
for these features.
Devices can set either IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A or
IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B if it supports type 2A or type 2B
memory windows. It can set neither to indicate it doesn't support
type 2 windows at all.
* modify existing provides and consumers code to the new param of
ib_alloc_mw and the ib_mw_bind_info structure

To avoid stale reference issues, if a user is holding a reference on a

reference by calling ib_release_qp. This releases any access to the QP
from a user above verbs, but allows the QP to continue to exist until

XRC ("eXtended reliable connected") is an IB transport that provides
better scalability by allowing senders to specify which shared receive
queue (SRQ) should be used to receive a message, which essentially
allows one transport context (QP connection) to serve multiple
destinations (as long as they share an adapter, of course).
XRC communication is between an initiator (INI) QP and a target (TGT)
QP. Target QPs are associated with SRQs through an XRCD. An XRC TGT QP
behaves like a receive-only RD QP. XRC INI QPs behave similarly to RC
QPs, except that work requests posted to an XRC INI QP must specify the
remote SRQ that is the target of the work request.
We define two new QP types for XRC, to distinguish between INI and TGT
QPs, and update the core layer to support XRC QPs.

A few new concepts are introduced to support this. This patch adds:
- A new device capability flag, IB_DEVICE_XRC, which low-level
drivers set to indicate that a device supports XRC.
- A new object type, XRC domains (struct ib_xrcd), and new verbs
ib_alloc_xrcd()/ib_dealloc_xrcd(). XRCDs are used to limit which
XRC SRQs an incoming message can target.
This patch is derived from work by Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il>.
