RDMA: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-02-20T17:33:51+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

RDMA/core: Get rid of ib_create_qp_user

2020-02-19T00:27:37+00:00

This function accepts a udata but does nothing with it, and is never passed a !NULL udata. Rename it to ib_create_qp which was the only caller and remove the udata. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200213191911.GA9898@ziepe.ca Reviewed-by: Max Gurtovoy Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe

Merge tag 'rds-odp-for-5.5' into rdma.git for-next

2020-01-21T13:55:04+00:00

From https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma Leon Romanovsky says: ==================== Use ODP MRs for kernel ULPs The following series extends MR creation routines to allow creation of user MRs through kernel ULPs as a proxy. The immediate use case is to allow RDS to work over FS-DAX, which requires ODP (on-demand-paging) MRs to be created and such MRs were not possible to create prior this series. The first part of this patchset extends RDMA to have special verb ib_reg_user_mr(). The common use case that uses this function is a userspace application that allocates memory for HCA access but the responsibility to register the memory at the HCA is on an kernel ULP. This ULP acts as an agent for the userspace application. The second part provides advise MR functionality for ULPs. This is integral part of ODP flows and used to trigger pagefaults in advance to prepare memory before running working set. The third part is actual user of those in-kernel APIs. ==================== * tag 'rds-odp-for-5.5': net/rds: Use prefetch for On-Demand-Paging MR net/rds: Handle ODP mr registration/unregistration net/rds: Detect need of On-Demand-Paging memory registration RDMA/mlx5: Fix handling of IOVA != user_va in ODP paths IB/mlx5: Mask out unsupported ODP capabilities for kernel QPs RDMA/mlx5: Don't fake udata for kernel path IB/mlx5: Add ODP WQE handlers for kernel QPs IB/core: Add interface to advise_mr for kernel users IB/core: Introduce ib_reg_user_mr IB: Allow calls to ib_umem_get from kernel ULPs Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe

RDMA/uverbs: Add new relaxed ordering memory region access flag

2020-01-16T19:55:46+00:00

Add a new relaxed ordering access flag for memory regions. Using memory regions with relaxed ordeing set can enhance performance. This access flag is handled in a best-effort manner, drivers should ignore if they don't support setting relaxed ordering.

RDMA/core: Add optional access flags range

2020-01-16T19:55:46+00:00

Define a range of access flags that are defined to be optional, both uverbs and drivers should enable getting them and use if they are applicable This will be used, for example, for the relaxed ordering access flag which unsupporting drivers can ignore.

IB/core: Add interface to advise_mr for kernel users

IB/core: Introduce ib_reg_user_mr

2020-01-16T14:14:36+00:00

Add ib_reg_user_mr() for kernel ULPs to register user MRs. The common use case that uses this function is a userspace application that allocates memory for HCA access but the responsibility to register the memory at the HCA is on an kernel ULP. This ULP that acts as an agent for the userspace application. This function is intended to be used without a user context so vendor drivers need to be aware of calling reg_user_mr() device operation with udata equal to NULL. Among all drivers, i40iw is the only driver which relies on presence of udata, so check udata existence for that driver.
