RDMA: Move DMA block iterator logic into dedicated files

2026-06-19T11:44:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6094ea64c69520ed1e770e7c79c43412de202bfa ] The DMA iterator logic was mixed into verbs and umem-specific code, forcing all users to include rdma/ib_umem.h. Move the block iterator logic into iter.c and rdma/iter.h so that rdma/ib_umem.h and rdma/ib_verbs.h can be separated in a follow-up patch.

RDMA: During rereg_mr ensure that REREG_ACCESS is compatible

2026-06-19T11:44:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit badad6fad60def1b9805559dd81dbab3d97b82aa ] If IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS changes from RO to RW then the umem has to be re-evaluated to ensure it is properly pinned as RW. Since the umem is hidden inside each driver's mr struct add a ib_umem_check_rereg() function that each driver has to call before processing IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS. mlx4 has to retain its duplicate ib_access_writable check because it implements IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS | IB_MR_REREG_TRANS by changing both items in place sequentially while the MR is live, so it will continue to not support this combination.

RDMA/umem: Add helpers for umem dmabuf revoke lock

[ Upstream commit 3a0b171302eea1732a168e26db3b8461f51cc1f9 ] Added helpers to acquire and release the umem dmabuf revoke lock. The intent is to avoid the need for drivers to peek into the ib_umem_dmabuf internals to get the dma_resv_lock and bring us one step closer to abstracting ib_umem_dmabuf away from drivers in general.

RDMA/core: add rdma_rw_max_sge() helper for SQ sizing

2026-02-26T22:59:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit afcae7d7b8a278a6c29e064f99e5bafd4ac1fb37 ] svc_rdma_accept() computes sc_sq_depth as the sum of rq_depth and the number of rdma_rw contexts (ctxts). This value is used to allocate the Send CQ and to initialize the sc_sq_avail credit pool. However, when the device uses memory registration for RDMA operations, rdma_rw_init_qp() inflates the QP's max_send_wr by a factor of three per context to account for REG and INV work requests. The Send CQ and credit pool remain sized for only one work request per context, causing Send Queue exhaustion under heavy NFS WRITE workloads. Introduce rdma_rw_max_sge() to compute the actual number of Send Queue entries required for a given number of rdma_rw contexts. Upper layer protocols call this helper before creating a Queue Pair so that their Send CQs and credit accounting match the QP's true capacity. Update svc_rdma_accept() to use rdma_rw_max_sge() when computing sc_sq_depth, ensuring the credit pool reflects the work requests that rdma_rw_init_qp() will reserve.

RDMA/ucma: Support write an event into a CM

2025-08-13T10:16:11+00:00

Enable user-space to inject an event into a CM through it's event channel. Two new events are added and supported: RDMA_CM_EVENT_USER and RDMA_CM_EVENT_INTERNAL. With these 2 events a new event parameter "arg" is supported, which is passed from sender to receiver transparently. With this feature an application is able to write an event into a CM channel with a new user-space rdmacm API. For example thread T1 could write an event with the API: rdma_write_cm_event(cm_id, RDMA_CM_EVENT_USER, status, arg); and thread T2 could receive the event with rdma_get_cm_event().

RDMA/cma: Support IB service record resolution

2025-08-13T10:16:00+00:00

Add new UCMA command and the corresponding CMA implementation. Userspace can send this command to request service resolution based on service name or ID. On a successful resolution, one or multiple service records are returned, the first one will be used as destination address by default. Two new CM events are added and returned to caller accordingly: - RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDRINFO_RESOLVED: Resolve succeeded; - RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDRINFO_ERROR: Resolve failed. Internally two new CM states are added: - RDMA_CM_ADDRINFO_QUERY: CM is in the process of IB service resolution; - RDMA_CM_ADDRINFO_RESOLVED: CM has finished the resolve process. With these new states, beside existing state transfer processes, 2 new processes are supported: 1. The default address is used: RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND -> RDMA_CM_ADDRINFO_QUERY -> RDMA_CM_ADDRINFO_RESOLVED -> RDMA_CM_ROUTE_QUERY 2. To use a different address: RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND -> RDMA_CM_ADDRINFO_QUERY-> RDMA_CM_ADDRINFO_RESOLVED -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_RESOLVED -> RDMA_CM_ROUTE_QUERY In the 2nd case, resolve_addrinfo returns multiple records, a user could call rdma_resolve_addr() with the one that is not the first.

RDMA/core: Introduce a DMAH object and its alloc/free APIs

2025-07-23T05:42:10+00:00

Introduce a new DMA handle (DMAH) object along with its corresponding allocation and deallocation APIs. This DMAH object encapsulates attributes intended for use in DMA transactions. While its initial purpose is to support TPH functionality, it is designed to be extensible for future features such as DMA PCI multipath, PCI UIO configurations, PCI traffic class selection, and more. Further details: ---------------- We ensure that a caller requesting a DMA handle for a specific CPU ID is permitted to be scheduled on it. This prevent a potential security issue where a non privilege user may trigger DMA operations toward a CPU that it's not allowed to run on. We manage reference counting for the DMAH object and its consumers (e.g., memory regions) as will be detailed in subsequent patches in the series.
