From 0bfe151cc4049f3f304adf28b37ea5437d02ad96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olaf Kirch Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:46:53 -0700 Subject: IB/mthca: Avoid recycling old FMR R_Keys too soon When a FMR is unmapped, mthca resets the map count to 0, and clears the upper part of the R_Key which is used as the sequence counter. This poses a problem for RDS, which uses ib_fmr_unmap as a fence operation. RDS assumes that after issuing an unmap, the old R_Keys will be invalid for a "reasonable" period of time. For instance, Oracle processes uses shared memory buffers allocated from a pool of buffers. When a process dies, we want to reclaim these buffers -- but we must make sure there are no pending RDMA operations to/from those buffers. The only way to achieve that is by using unmap and sync the TPT. However, when the sequence count is reset on unmap, there is a high likelihood that a new mapping will be given the same R_Key that was issued a few milliseconds ago. To prevent this, don't reset the sequence count when unmapping a FMR.
