staging/rdma/hfi1: Adaptive PIO for short messages
The change requires a new pio_busy field in the iowait structure to track the number of outstanding pios. The new counter together with the sdma counter serve as the basis for a packet by packet decision as to which egress mechanism to use. Since packets given to different egress mechanisms are not ordered, this scheme will preserve the order. The iowait drain/wait mechanisms are extended for a pio case. An additional qp wait flag is added for the PIO drain wait case. Currently the only pio wait is for buffers, so the no_bufs_available() routine name is changed to pio_wait() and a third argument is passed with one of the two pio wait flags to generalize the routine. A module parameter is added to hold a configurable threshold. For now, the module parameter is zero. A heuristic routine is added to return the func pointer of the proper egress routine to use. The heuristic is as follows: - SMI always uses pio - GSI,UD qps <= threshold use pio - UD qps > threadhold use sdma o No coordination with sdma is required because order is not required and this qp pio count is not maintained for UD - RC/UC ONLY packets <= threshold chose as follows: o If sdmas pending, use SDMA o Otherwise use pio and enable the pio tracking count at the time the pio buffer is allocated - RC/UC ONLY packets > threshold use SDMA o If pio's are pending the pio_wait with the new wait flag is called to delay for pios to drain The threshold is potentially reduced by the QP's mtu. The sc_buffer_alloc() has two additional args (a callback, a void *) which are exploited by the RC/UC cases to pass a new complete routine and a qp *. When the shadow ring completes the credit associated with a packet, the new complete routine is called. The verbs_pio_complete() will then decrement the busy count and trigger any drain waiters in qp destroy or reset.
