2011-05-20RDMA: Add netlink infrastructureRoland Dreier1-1/+1
Add basic RDMA netlink infrastructure that allows for registration of RDMA clients for which data is to be exported and supplies message construction callbacks.

2007-05-08IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modulesRoland Dreier1-2/+2
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>
2007-02-16IB/sa: Track multicast join/leave requestsSean Hefty1-1/+1
The IB SA tracks multicast join/leave requests on a per port basis and does not do any reference counting: if two users of the same port join the same group, and one leaves that group, then the SA will remove the port from the group even though there is one user who wants to stay a member left. Therefore, in order to support multiple users of the same multicast group from the same port, we need to perform reference counting locally. To do this, add an multicast submodule to ib_sa to perform reference counting of multicast join/leave operations. Modify ib_ipoib (the only in-kernel user of multicast) to use the new interface.

2006-09-22RDMA: iWARP Core Changes.Tom Tucker1-1/+3
Modifications to the existing rdma header files, core files, drivers, and ulp files to support iWARP, including: - Hook iWARP CM into the build system and use it in rdma_cm. - Convert enum ib_node_type to enum rdma_node_type, which includes the possibility of RDMA_NODE_RNIC, and update everything for this.

2006-06-17IB: IP address based RDMA connection managerSean Hefty1-2/+4
Kernel connection management agent over InfiniBand that connects based on IP addresses. The agent defines a generic RDMA connection abstraction to support clients wanting to connect over different RDMA devices. The agent also handles RDMA device hotplug events on behalf of clients.

2005-09-07[PATCH] IB: clean up user access config optionsJames Lentini1-2/+3
Add a new config option INFINIBAND_USER_MAD to control whether we build ib_umad. Change INFINIBAND_USER_VERBS to INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS, and have it control ib_ucm and ib_uat as well as ib_uverbs. Signed-off-by: James Lentini <jlentini@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2005-08-26[PATCH] IB: move include files to include/rdmaRoland Dreier1-2/+0
Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma. This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+12
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
