2017-01-09	smc: work request (WR) base for use by LLC and CDC	Ursula Braun	8	-1/+790
	The base containers for RDMA transport are work requests and completion queue entries processed through Infiniband verbs: * allocate and initialize these areas * map these areas to DMA * implement the basic communication consisting of work request posting and receival of completion queue events Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-01-09	smc: remote memory buffers (RMBs)	Ursula Braun	7	-7/+342
	* allocate data RMB memory for sending and receiving * size depends on the maximum socket send and receive buffers * allocated RMBs are kept during life time of the owning link group * map the allocated RMBs to DMA Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-01-09	smc: connection and link group creation	Ursula Braun	7	-17/+605
	* create smc_connection for SMC-sockets * determine suitable link group for a connection * create a new link group if necessary Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-01-09	smc: CLC handshake (incl. preparation steps)	Ursula Braun	5	-32/+822
	* CLC (Connection Layer Control) handshake Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-01-09	smc: establish pnet table management	Thomas Richter	5	-3/+569
	Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID". Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table. A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the associated network and IB device. This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table. There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created. Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored; a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or IB device is removed.

2017-01-09	smc: introduce SMC as an IB-client	Ursula Braun	5	-1/+200
	* create a list of SMC IB-devices Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-01-09	smc: establish new socket family	Ursula Braun	4	-0/+670
	* enable smc module loading and unloading * register new socket family * basic smc socket creation and deletion * use backing TCP socket to run CLC (Connection Layer Control) handshake of SMC protocol * Setup for infiniband traffic is implemented in follow-on patches. For now fallback to TCP socket is always used. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Utz Bacher <utz.bacher@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
