IB: simplify static rate encoding

2006-04-10T16:43:47Z

Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers, where it belongs. For static rate encoding, use encoding of rate field from IB standard PathRecord, with addition of value 0, for backwards compatibility with current usage. The changes are: - Add enum ib_rate to midlayer includes. - Get rid of static rate translation in IPoIB; just use static rate directly from Path and MulticastGroup records. - Update mthca driver to translate absolute static rate into the format used by hardware. This also fixes mthca's static rate handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB/mthca: Return actual capacity from create_srq

2006-03-20T18:08:16Z

Have mthca's create_srq method return the actual capacity of the SRQ that gets created. Also update comments in to clarify that this is what is expected from ib_create_srq(). Signed-off-by: Dotan Barak Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB: Add ib_modify_qp_is_ok() library function

2006-03-20T18:08:12Z

The in-kernel mthca driver contains a table of which attributes are valid for each queue pair state transition. It turns out that both other IB drivers -- ipath and ehca -- which are being prepared for merging have copied this table, errors and all. To forestall this code duplication, move this table and the code to check parameters against it into a midlayer library function, ib_modify_qp_is_ok(). Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB: Enable FMR pool user to set page size

2006-03-20T18:08:10Z

This patch allows the consumer to set the page size of "pages" mapped by the pool FMRs, which is a feature already existing in the base verbs API. On the cosmetic side it changes ib_fmr_attr.page_size field to be named page_shift. Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB: Allow userspace to set node description

2006-03-20T18:08:09Z

Expose a writable "node_desc" sysfs attribute for InfiniBand devices. This allows userspace to update the node description with information such as the node's hostname, so that IB network management software can tie its view to the real world. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

IB: Add userspace support for resizing CQs

2006-03-20T18:08:07Z

Add support to uverbs to handle resizing userspace CQs (completion queues), including adding an ABI for marshalling requests and responses. The kernel midlayer already has ib_resize_cq(). Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

IB: Add node_guid to struct ib_device

2006-01-10T15:39:34Z

Add a node_guid field to struct ib_device. It is the responsibility of the low-level driver to initialize this field before registering a device with the midlayer. Convert everyone to looking at this field instead of calling ib_query_device() when all they want is the node GUID, and remove the node_guid field from struct ib_device_attr.

[IB] Have cq_resize() method take an int, not int*

2005-11-10T18:22:50Z

Change the struct ib_device.resize_cq() method to take a plain integer that holds the new CQ size, rather than a pointer to an integer that it uses to return the new size. This makes the interface match the exported ib_resize_cq() signature, and allows the low-level driver to update the CQ size with proper locking if necessary. No in-tree drivers are exporting this method yet. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

[IB] Fix MAD layer DMA mappings to avoid touching data buffer once mapped

2005-10-25T17:51:39Z

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 Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

[IB] uverbs: Add a mask of device methods allowed for userspace

2005-10-17T22:20:30Z

Give each device a uverbs_cmd_mask, so that a low-level driver can control which methods may be called on behalf of userspace. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier
