Or Gerlitz 2e96691c31 IB: Use central enum for speed instead of hard-coded values
The kernel IB stack uses one enumeration for IB speed, which wasn't
explicitly specified in the verbs header file.  Add that enum, and use
it all over the code.

The IB speed/width notation is also used by iWARP and IBoE HW drivers,
which use the convention of rate = speed * width to advertise their
port link rate.

Sean Hefty 42849b2697 RDMA/uverbs: Export ib_open_qp() capability to user space
Allow processes that share the same XRC domain to open an existing
shareable QP.  This permits those processes to receive events on the
shared QP and transfer ownership, so that any process may modify the
QP.  The latter allows the creating process to exit, while a remaining

Sean Hefty d3d72d909e RDMA/verbs: Cleanup XRC TGT QPs when destroying XRCD
XRC TGT QPs are intended to be shared among multiple users and
processes.  Allow the destruction of an XRC TGT QP to be done explicitly
through ib_destroy_qp() or when the XRCD is destroyed.

To support destroying an XRC TGT QP, we need to track TGT QPs with the
XRCD.  When the XRCD is destroyed, all tracked XRC TGT QPs are also
cleaned up.

To avoid stale reference issues, if a user is holding a reference on a
TGT QP, we increment a reference count on the QP.  The user releases the
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
destroyed by the XRCD.

Sean Hefty b42b63cf0d RDMA/core: Add XRC QPs
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.

Jiri Pirko 4bc71cb983 net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling
This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
  from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
  iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
  fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
  problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
  dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
  so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
  are from other places.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code

Nir Muchtar 753f618ae0 RDMA/cma: Add support for netlink statistics export
Add callbacks and data types for statistics export of all current
devices/ids.  The schema for RDMA CM is a series of netlink messages.
Each one contains an rdma_cm_stat struct.  Additionally, two netlink
attributes are created for the addresses for each message (if
applicable).

Their types used are:
RDMA_NL_RDMA_CM_ATTR_SRC_ADDR (The source address for this ID)
RDMA_NL_RDMA_CM_ATTR_DST_ADDR (The destination address for this ID)
sockaddr_* structs are encapsulated within these attributes.

In other words, every transaction contains a series of messages like:

-------message 1-------
struct rdma_cm_id_stats {
       __u32 qp_num;
       __u32 bound_dev_if;
       __u32 port_space;
       __s32 pid;
       __u8 cm_state;
       __u8 node_type;
       __u8 port_num;
       __u8 reserved;
}
RDMA_NL_RDMA_CM_ATTR_SRC_ADDR attribute - contains the source address
RDMA_NL_RDMA_CM_ATTR_DST_ADDR attribute - contains the destination address
-------end 1-------
-------message 2-------
struct rdma_cm_id_stats

Sean Hefty b26f9b9949 RDMA/cma: Pass QP type into rdma_create_id()
The RDMA CM currently infers the QP type from the port space selected
by the user.  In the future (eg with RDMA_PS_IB or XRC), there may not
be a 1-1 correspondence between port space and QP type.  For netlink
export of RDMA CM state, we want to export the QP type to userspace,
so it is cleaner to explicitly associate a QP type to an ID.

Roland Dreier d0c49bf391 RDMA/iwcm: Get rid of enum iw_cm_event_status
The IW_CM_EVENT_STATUS_xxx values were used in only a couple of places;
cma.c uses -Exxx values instead, and so do the amso1100, cxgb3 and cxgb4
drivers -- only nes was using the enum values (with the mild consequence
that all nes connection failures were treated as generic errors rather
than reported as timeouts or rejections).

We can fix this confusion by getting rid of enum iw_cm_event_status and
using a plain int for struct iw_cm_event.status, and converting nes to
use -Exxx as the other iWARP drivers do.

This also gets rid of the warning

Hefty, Sean a9bb79128a RDMA/cma: Add an ID_REUSEADDR option
Lustre requires that clients bind to a privileged port number before
connecting to a remote server.  On larger clusters (typically more
than about 1000 nodes), the number of privileged ports is exhausted,
resulting in lustre being unusable.

To handle this, we add support for reusable addresses to the rdma_cm.
This mimics the behavior of the socket option SO_REUSEADDR.  A user
may set an rdma_cm_id to reuse an address before calling
rdma_bind_addr() (explicitly or implicitly).  If set, other
rdma_cm_id's may be bound to the same address, provided that they all
have reuse enabled, and there are no active listens.

If rdma_listen() is called on an rdma_cm_id that has reuse enabled, it
will only succeed if there are no other id's bound to that same
address.  The reuse option is exported to user space.  The behavior of
the kernel reuse implementation was verified against that given by
sockets.

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).

This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

Eli Cohen af7bd46376 IB/core: Add VLAN support for IBoE
Add 802.1q VLAN support to IBoE. The VLAN tag is encoded within the
GID derived from a link local address in the following way:

    GID[11] GID[12] contain the VLAN ID when the GID contains a VLAN.

The 3 bits user priority field of the packets are identical to the 3
bits of the SL.

In case of rdma_cm apps, the TOS field is used to generate the SL
field by doing a shift right of 5 bits effectively taking to 3 MS bits
of the TOS field.

Eli Cohen 3c86aa70bf RDMA/cm: Add RDMA CM support for IBoE devices
Add support for IBoE device binding and IP --> GID resolution.  Path
resolving and multicast joining are implemented within cma.c by
filling in the responses and running callbacks in the CMA work queue.

IP --> GID resolution always yields IPv6 link local addresses; remote
GIDs are derived from the destination MAC address of the remote port.
Multicast GIDs are always mapped to multicast MACs as is done in IPv6.
(IPv4 multicast is enabled by translating IPv4 multicast addresses to
IPv6 multicast as described in
<http://www.mail-archive.com/ipng@sunroof.eng.sun.com/msg02134.html>.)

Some helper functions are added to ib_addr.h.

Vladimir Sokolovsky 5e80ba8ff0 IB/core: Add support for masked atomic operations
- Add new IB_WR_MASKED_ATOMIC_CMP_AND_SWP and IB_WR_MASKED_ATOMIC_FETCH_AND_ADD
   send opcodes that can be used to post "masked atomic compare and
   swap" and "masked atomic fetch and add" work request respectively.
 - Add masked_atomic_cap capability.
 - Add mask fields to atomic struct of ib_send_wr
 - Add new opcodes to ib_wc_opcode

The new operations are described more precisely below:

* Masked Compare and Swap (MskCmpSwap)

The MskCmpSwap atomic operation is an extension to the CmpSwap
operation defined in the IB spec.  MskCmpSwap allows the user to
select a portion of the 64 bit target data for the “compare” check as
well as to restrict the swap to a (possibly different) portion.  The
pseudo code below describes the operation:

| atomic_response = *va
| if (!((compare_add ^ *va) & compare_add_mask)) then
|     *va = (*va & ~(swap_mask)) | (swap & swap_mask)
|
| return atomic_response

The additional operands are carried in the Extended Transport Header.
Atomic response generation and packet format for MskCmpSwap is as for
standard IB Atomic operations.

* Masked Fetch and Add (MFetchAdd)

The MFetchAdd Atomic operation extends the functionality of the
standard IB FetchAdd by allowing the user to split the target into
multiple fields of selectable length. The atomic add is done
independently on each one of this fields. A bit set in the
field_boundary parameter specifies the field boundaries. The pseudo
code below describes the operation:

| bit_adder(ci, b1, b2, *co)
| {
|	value = ci + b1 + b2
|	*co = !!(value & 2)
|
|	return value & 1
| }
|
| #define MASK_IS_SET(mask, attr)      (!!((mask)&(attr)))
| bit_position = 1
| carry = 0
| atomic_response = 0
|
| for i = 0 to 63
| {
|         if ( i != 0 )
|                 bit_position =  bit_position << 1
|
|         bit_add_res = bit_adder(carry, MASK_IS_SET(*va, bit_position),
|                                 MASK_IS_SET(compare_add, bit_position), &new_carry)
|         if (bit_add_res)
|                 atomic_response |= bit_position
|
|         carry = ((new_carry) && (!MASK_IS_SET(compare_add_mask, bit_position)))
| }
|
| return atomic_response

Sean Hefty 6f8372b69c RDMA/cm: fix loopback address support
The RDMA CM is intended to support the use of a loopback address
when establishing a connection; however, the behavior of the CM
when loopback addresses are used is confusing and does not always
work, depending on whether loopback was specified by the server,
the client, or both.

The defined behavior of rdma_bind_addr is to associate an RDMA
device with an rdma_cm_id, as long as the user specified a non-
zero address.  (ie they weren't just trying to reserve a port)
Currently, if the loopback address is passed to rdam_bind_addr,
no device is associated with the rdma_cm_id.  Fix this.

If a loopback address is specified by the client as the destination
address for a connection, it will fail to establish a connection.
This is true even if the server is listing across all addresses or
on the loopback address itself.  The issue is that the server tries
to translate the IP address carried in the REQ message to a local
net_device address, which fails.  The translation is not needed in
this case, since the REQ carries the actual HW address that should
be used.

Finally, cleanup loopback support to be more transport neutral.
Replace separate calls to get/set the sgid and dgid from the
device address to a single call that behaves correctly depending
on the format of the device address.  And support both IPv4 and
IPv6 address formats.

Ramachandra K 7020cb0fe2 IB/mad: Fix RMPP header RRespTime manipulation
Fix ib_set_rmpp_flags() to use the correct bit mask for RRespTime.  In
the 8-bit field of the RMPP header, the first 5 bits are RRespTime and
next 3 bits are RMPPFlags. Hence to retain the first 5 bits, the mask
should be 0xF8 instead of 0xF1.

ack_recv()-->format_ack() calls ib_set_rmpp_flags() and due to the
incorrect ANDing with 0xF1, RRespTime got changed incorrectly and RMPP
Acks sent back always had a RRespTime of 0x1E (30) which caused the
other end to consider the time outs to be approximately 4297 seconds
(i.e. in the order of 4*2^30) instead of the usual ~4 seconds (order

FUJITA Tomonori 8d8bb39b9e dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

   * RDMA read with invalidate local memory region (iWARP only)

Consumer interface details:

 - A new device capability flag IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS is added
   to indicate device support for these features.

 - New send work request opcodes IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, IB_WR_LOCAL_INV,
   IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV are added.

 - A new consumer API function, ib_alloc_mr() is added to allocate
   fast register memory regions.

 - New consumer API functions, ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list() and
   ib_free_fast_reg_page_list() are added to allocate and free
   device-specific memory for fast registration page lists.

 - A new consumer API function, ib_update_fast_reg_key(), is added to
   allow the key portion of the R_Key and L_Key of a fast registration
   MR to be updated.  Consumers call this if desired before posting
   a IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR work request.

Consumers can use this as follows:

 - MR is allocated with ib_alloc_mr().

 - Page list memory is allocated with ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list().

 - MR R_Key/L_Key "key" field is updated with ib_update_fast_reg_key().

 - MR made VALID and bound to a specific page list via
   ib_post_send(IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR)

 - MR made INVALID via ib_post_send(IB_WR_LOCAL_INV),
   ib_post_send(IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV) or an incoming send with
   invalidate operation.

 - MR is deallocated with ib_dereg_mr()

 - page lists dealloced via ib_free_fast_reg_page_list().

Applications can allocate a fast register MR once, and then can
repeatedly bind the MR to different physical block lists (PBLs) via
posting work requests to a send queue (SQ).  For each outstanding
MR-to-PBL binding in the SQ pipe, a fast_reg_page_list needs to be
allocated (the fast_reg_page_list is owned by the low-level driver
from the consumer posting a work request until the request completes).
Thus pipelining can be achieved while still allowing device-specific
page_list processing.

The 32-bit fast register memory key/STag is composed of a 24-bit index
and an 8-bit key.  The application can change the key each time it
fast registers thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the
key/STag (ie it can effectively be changed each time the rkey is
rebound to a page list).

Roland Dreier 4c0283fc56 IB/core: Remove IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV capability flag
In 2.6.26, we added some support for send with invalidate work
requests, including a device capability flag to indicate whether a
device supports such requests.  However, the support was incomplete:
the completion structure was not extended with a field for the key
contained in incoming send with invalidate requests.

Full support for memory management extensions (send with invalidate,
local invalidate, fast register through a send queue, etc) is planned
for 2.6.27.  Since send with invalidate is not very useful by itself,
just remove the IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV bit before the 2.6.26 final
release; we will add an IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS bit in 2.6.27,
which makes things simpler for applications, since they will not have
quite as confusing an array of fine-grained bits to check.

Roland Dreier 0f39cf3d54 IB/core: Add support for "send with invalidate" work requests
Add a new IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV send opcode that can be used to mark a
"send with invalidate" work request as defined in the iWARP verbs and
the InfiniBand base memory management extensions.  Also put "imm_data"
and a new "invalidate_rkey" member in a new "ex" union in struct
ib_send_wr. The invalidate_rkey member can be used to pass in an
R_Key/STag to be invalidated.  Add this new union to struct
ib_uverbs_send_wr.  Add code to copy the invalidate_rkey field in
ib_uverbs_post_send().

Fix up low-level drivers to deal with the change to struct ib_send_wr,
and just remove the imm_data initialization from net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/,
since that code never does any send with immediate operations.

Also, move the existing IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV flag to a new bit, since
the iWARP drivers currently in the tree set the bit.  The amso1100
driver at least will silently fail to honor the IB_SEND_INVALIDATE bit
if passed in as part of userspace send requests (since it does not
implement kernel bypass work request queueing).  Remove the flag from
all existing drivers that set it until we know which ones are OK.

The values chosen for the new flag is not consecutive to avoid clashing
with flags defined in the XRC patches, which are not merged yet but
which are already in use and are likely to be merged soon.

This resurrects a patch sent long ago by Mikkel Hagen <mhagen@iol.unh.edu>.

This is based on user feedback from Doug Ledford at RedHat:

Events that occur on an rdma_cm_id are reported to userspace through an
event channel.  Connection request events are reported on the event
channel associated with the listen.  When the connection is accepted, a
new rdma_cm_id is created and automatically uses the listen event
channel.  This is suboptimal where the user only wants listen events on
that channel.

Additionally, it may be desirable to have events related to connection
establishment use a different event channel than those related to
already established connections.

Allow the user to migrate an rdma_cm_id between event channels. All
pending events associated with the rdma_cm_id are moved to the new event
channel.

Sean Hefty de98b693e9 IB/cm: Modify interface to send MRAs in response to duplicate messages
The IB CM provides a message received acknowledged (MRA) message that
can be sent to indicate that a REQ or REP message has been received, but
will require more time to process than the timeout specified by those
messages.  In many cases, the application may not know how long it will
take to respond to a CM message, but the majority of the time, it will
usually respond before a retry has been sent.  Rather than sending an
MRA in response to all messages just to handle the case where a longer
timeout is needed, it is more efficient to queue the MRA for sending in
case a duplicate message is received.

This avoids sending an MRA when it is not needed, but limits the number
of times that a REQ or REP will be resent.  It also provides for a
simpler implementation than generating the MRA based on a timer event.
(That is, trying to send the MRA after receiving the first REQ or REP if
a response has not been generated, so that it is received at the remote
side before a duplicate REQ or REP has been received)

Roland Dreier a394f83bdf IB/umad: Fix bit ordering and 32-on-64 problems on big endian systems
The declaration of struct ib_user_mad_reg_req.method_mask[] exported
to userspace was an array of __u32, but the kernel internally treated
it as a bitmap made up of longs.  This makes a difference for 64-bit
big-endian kernels, where numbering the bits in an array of__u32 gives:

    |31.....0|63....31|95....64|127...96|

while numbering the bits in an array of longs gives:

    |63..............0|127............64|

64-bit userspace can handle this by just treating method_mask[] as an
array of longs, but 32-bit userspace is really stuck: the meaning of
the bits in method_mask[] depends on whether the kernel is 32-bit or
64-bit, and there's no sane way for userspace to know that.

Fix this by updating <rdma/ib_user_mad.h> to make it clear that
method_mask[] is an array of longs, and using a compat_ioctl method to
convert to an array of 64-bit longs to handle the 32-on-64 problem.
This fixes the interface description to match existing behavior (so
working binaries continue to work) in almost all situations, and gives
consistent semantics in the case of 32-bit userspace that can run on
either a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel, so that the same binary can work for
both 32-on-32 and 32-on-64 systems.

Alexey Dobriyan e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Roland Dreier 1bf66a3042 IB: Put rlimit accounting struct in struct ib_umem
When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release()
needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from
mm->locked_vm.  However, ib_umem_release() may be called with
mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released
as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer
this accounting into a workqueue.

However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically
allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing
that allocation.  If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no
choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently
elevated locked_vm.

Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of
the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a
later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory
succeeds.

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.
