* dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori2008-07-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

| * RDMA/cxgb3: Fixes for zero STagSteve Wise2008-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handling the zero STag in receive work request requires some extra logic in the driver: - Only set the QP_PRIV bit for kernel mode QPs. - Add a zero STag build function for recv wrs. The uP needs a PBL allocated and passed down in the recv WR so it can construct a HW PBL for the zero STag S/G entries. Note: we need to place a few restrictions on zero STag usage because of this: 1) all SGEs in a recv WR must either be zero STag or not. No mixing. 2) an individual SGE length cannot exceed 128MB for a zero-stag SGE. This should be OK since it's not really practical to allocate such a large chunk of pinned contiguous DMA mapped memory. - Add an optimized non-zero-STag recv wr format for kernel users. This is needed to optimize both zero and non-zero STag cracking in the recv path for kernel users. - Remove the iwch_ prefix from the static build functions. - Bump required FW version.

* RDMA/cxgb3: Support peer-2-peer connection setupSteve Wise2008-04-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Open MPI, Intel MPI and other applications don't respect the iWARP requirement that the client (active) side of the connection send the first RDMA message. This class of application connection setup is called peer-to-peer. Typically once the connection is setup, _both_ sides want to send data. This patch enables supporting peer-to-peer over the chelsio RNIC by enforcing this iWARP requirement in the driver itself as part of RDMA connection setup. Connection setup is extended, when the peer2peer module option is 1, such that the MPA initiator will send a 0B Read (the RTR) just after connection setup. The MPA responder will suspend SQ processing until the RTR message is received and reply-to. In the longer term, this will be handled in a standardized way by enhancing the MPA negotiation so peers can indicate whether they want/need the RTR and what type of RTR (0B read, 0B write, or 0B send) should be sent. This will be done by standardizing a few bits of the private data in order to negotiate all this. However this patch enables peer-to-peer applications now and allows most of the required firmware and driver changes to be done and tested now. Design: - Add a module option, peer2peer, to enable this mode. - New firmware support for peer-to-peer mode: - a new bit in the rdma_init WR to tell it to do peer-2-peer and what form of RTR message to send or expect. - process _all_ preposted recvs before moving the connection into rdma mode. - passive side: defer completing the rdma_init WR until all pre-posted recvs are processed. Suspend SQ processing until the RTR is received. - active side: expect and process the 0B read WR on offload TX queue. Defer completing the rdma_init WR until all pre-posted recvs are processed. Suspend SQ processing until the 0B read WR is processed from the offload TX queue. - If peer2peer is set, driver posts 0B read request on offload TX queue just after posting the rdma_init WR to the offload TX queue. - Add CQ poll logic to ignore unsolicitied read responses.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.25-rc6 #50 --------------------------------- inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage. swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes: (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3] The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c. This is technically a false positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context. The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in sge.c. Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup slow paths.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last change in the Tx queue stop mechanism opens a window where the Tx queue might be stopped after pending credits returned. Tx credits are returned via a control message generated by the HW. It returns tx credits on demand, triggered by a completion bit set in selective transmit packet headers. The current code can lead to the Tx queue stopped with all pending credits returned, and the current frame not triggering a credit return. The Tx queue will then never be awaken. The driver could alternatively request a completion for packets that stop the queue. It's however safer at this point to go back to the pre-existing behaviour.

This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls. The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation -- a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a later date.
