RDMA/nldev: Expose kernel-internal FRMR pools in netlink

2026-03-05T10:41:02+00:00

Allow netlink users, through the usage of driver-details netlink attribute, to get information about internal FRMR pools that use the kernel_vendor_key FRMR key member.

RDMA/nldev: Add command to set pinned FRMR handles

2026-03-05T10:41:02+00:00

Allow users to set through netlink, for a specific FRMR pool, the amount of handles that are not aged, and fill the pool to this amount. This allows users to warm-up the FRMR pools to an expected amount of handles with specific attributes that fits their expected usage.

RDMA/core: Add netlink command to modify FRMR aging

2026-03-02T18:45:37+00:00

Allow users to set FRMR pools aging timer through netlink. This functionality will allow user to control how long handles reside in the kernel before being destroyed, thus being able to tune the tradeoff between memory and HW object consumption and memory registration optimization. Since FRMR pools is highly beneficial for application restart scenarios, this command allows users to modify the aging timer to their application restart time, making sure the FRMR handles deregistered on application teardown are kept for long enough in the pools for reuse in the application startup.

RDMA/core: Add support to optional-counters binding configuration

2025-03-18T10:18:42+00:00

Whenever a new counter is created, save inside it the user requested configuration for optional-counters binding, for manual configuration it is requested directly by the user and for the automatic configuration it depends on if the automatic binding was enabled with or without optional-counters binding. This argument will later be used by the driver to determine if to bind the optional-counters as well or not when trying to bind this counter to a QP. It indicates that when binding counters to a QP we also want the currently enabled link optional-counters to be bound as well.

RDMA/nldev: Add IB device and net device rename events

2024-11-04T11:57:21+00:00

Implement event sending for IB device rename and IB device port associated netdevice rename. In iproute2, rdma monitor displays the IB device name, port and the netdevice name when displaying event info. Since users can modiy these names, we track and notify on renaming events. Note: In order to receive netdevice rename events, drivers must use the ib_device_set_netdev() API when attaching net devices to IB devices. $ rdma monitor $ rmmod mlx5_ib [UNREGISTER] dev 1 rocep8s0f1 [UNREGISTER] dev 0 rocep8s0f0 $ modprobe mlx5_ib [REGISTER] dev 2 mlx5_0 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 2 mlx5_0 port 1 netdev 4 eth2 [REGISTER] dev 3 mlx5_1 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 3 mlx5_1 port 1 netdev 5 eth3 [RENAME] dev 2 rocep8s0f0 [RENAME] dev 3 rocep8s0f1 $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.0 mode switchdev [UNREGISTER] dev 2 rocep8s0f0 [REGISTER] dev 4 mlx5_0 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 4 mlx5_0 port 30 netdev 4 eth2 [RENAME] dev 4 rdmap8s0f0 $ echo 4 > /sys/class/net/eth2/device/sriov_numvfs [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 4 rdmap8s0f0 port 2 netdev 7 eth4 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 4 rdmap8s0f0 port 3 netdev 8 eth5 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 4 rdmap8s0f0 port 4 netdev 9 eth6 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 4 rdmap8s0f0 port 5 netdev 10 eth7 [REGISTER] dev 5 mlx5_0 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 5 mlx5_0 port 1 netdev 11 eth8 [REGISTER] dev 6 mlx5_1 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 6 mlx5_1 port 1 netdev 12 eth9 [RENAME] dev 5 rocep8s0f0v0 [RENAME] dev 6 rocep8s0f0v1 [REGISTER] dev 7 mlx5_0 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 7 mlx5_0 port 1 netdev 13 eth10 [RENAME] dev 7 rocep8s0f0v2 [REGISTER] dev 8 mlx5_0 [NETDEV_ATTACH] dev 8 mlx5_0 port 1 netdev 14 eth11 [RENAME] dev 8 rocep8s0f0v3 $ ip link set eth2 name myeth2 [NETDEV_RENAME] netdev 4 myeth2 $ ip link set eth1 name myeth1 ** no events received, because eth1 is not attached to an IB device ** Signed-off-by: Chiara Meiohas Link: https://patch.msgid.link/093c978ef2766fd3ab4ff8798eeb68f2f11582f6.1730367038.git.leon@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky

RDMA/nldev: Expose whether RDMA monitoring is supported

2024-09-13T05:29:34+00:00

Extend the "rdma sys" command to display whether RDMA monitoring is supported. RDMA monitoring is not supported in mlx4 because it does not use the ib_device_set_netdev() API, which sends the RDMA events.

The name_assign_type indicates how the name is provided. Currently these types are supported: - RDMA_NAME_ASSIGN_TYPE_UNKNOWN: Unknown or not set; - RDMA_NAME_ASSIGN_TYPE_USER: Name is provided by the user; The user-created sub device, rxe and siw device has this type. When filling nl device info, it is set in the new attribute RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NAME_ASSIGN_TYPE. User-space tools like udev "rdma_rename" could check this attribute to determine if this device needs to be renamed or not.
