After removing FMR support from all the RDMA ULPs and providers, there
is no need to keep FMR operation for IB devices.

Allow a ULP to ask the core to provide a completion queue based on a
least-used search on a per-device CQ pools. The device CQ pools grow in a
lazy fashion when more CQs are requested.

This feature reduces the amount of interrupts when using many QPs.  Using
shared CQs allows for more effcient completion handling. It also reduces
the amount of overhead needed for CQ contexts.

Test setup:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8176M CPU @ 2.10GHz servers.
Running NVMeoF 4KB read IOs over ConnectX-5EX across Spectrum switch.
TX-depth = 32. The patch was applied in the nvme driver on both the target
and initiator. Four controllers are accessed from each core. In the
current test case we have exposed sixteen NVMe namespaces using four
different subsystems (four namespaces per subsystem) from one NVM port.
Each controller allocated X queues (RDMA QPs) and attached to Y CQs.
Before this series we had X == Y, i.e for four controllers we've created
total of 4X QPs and 4X CQs. In the shared case, we've created 4X QPs and
only X CQs which means that we have four controllers that share a
completion queue per core. Until fourteen cores there is no significant
change in performance and the number of interrupts per second is less than
a million in the current case.

<title>RDMA: Allow ib_client's to fail when add() is called</title>

<content type='text'>
When a client is added it isn't allowed to fail, but all the client's have
various failure paths within their add routines.

This creates the very fringe condition where the client was added, failed
during add and didn't set the client_data. The core code will then still
call other client_data centric ops like remove(), rename(), get_nl_info(),
and get_net_dev_by_params() with NULL client_data - which is confusing and
unexpected.

If the add() callback fails, then do not call any more client ops for the
device, even remove.

Remove all the now redundant checks for NULL client_data in ops callbacks.

Update all the add() callbacks to return error codes
appropriately. EOPNOTSUPP is used for cases where the ULP does not support
the ib_device - eg because it only works with IB.

Since we can return device-&gt;ops.query_port directly, so no need to keep
those lines.

<title>IB/core: Rename event_handler_lock to qp_open_list_lock</title>

This lock is used to protect the qp-&gt;open_list linked list. As a side
effect it seems to also globally serialize the qp event_handler, but it
isn't clear if that is a deliberate design.

<title>IB/core: Let IB core distribute cache update events</title>
<updated>2020-01-08T00:18:10+00:00</updated>

<name>Parav Pandit</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=6b57cea9221b0247ad5111b348522625e489a8e4'/>
<id>6b57cea9221b0247ad5111b348522625e489a8e4</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently when the low level driver notifies Pkey, GID, and port change
events they are notified to the registered handlers in the order they are
registered.

IB core and other ULPs such as IPoIB are interested in GID, LID, Pkey
change events.

Since all GID queries done by ULPs are serviced by IB core, and the IB
core deferes cache updates to a work queue, it is possible for other
clients to see stale cache data when they handle their own events.

For example, the below call tree shows how ipoib will call
rdma_query_gid() concurrently with the update to the cache sitting in the
WQ.

mlx5_ib_handle_event()
  ib_dispatch_event()
    ib_cache_event()
       queue_work() -&gt; slow cache update

    [..]
    ipoib_event()
     queue_work()
       [..]
       work handler
         ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light()
           __ipoib_ib_dev_flush()
              ipoib_dev_addr_changed_valid()
                rdma_query_gid() &lt;- Returns old GID, cache not updated.

Move all the event dispatch to a work queue so that the cache update is
always done before any clients are notified.

Pull hmm updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "This is another round of bug fixing and cleanup. This time the focus
  is on the driver pattern to use mmu notifiers to monitor a VA range.
  This code is lifted out of many drivers and hmm_mirror directly into
  the mmu_notifier core and written using the best ideas from all the
  driver implementations.

  This removes many bugs from the drivers and has a very pleasing
  diffstat. More drivers can still be converted, but that is for another
  cycle.

   - A shared branch with RDMA reworking the RDMA ODP implementation

   - New mmu_interval_notifier API. This is focused on the use case of
     monitoring a VA and simplifies the process for drivers

   - A common seq-count locking scheme built into the
     mmu_interval_notifier API usable by drivers that call
     get_user_pages() or hmm_range_fault() with the VA range

   - Conversion of mlx5 ODP, hfi1, radeon, nouveau, AMD GPU, and Xen
     GntDev drivers to the new API. This deletes a lot of wonky driver
     code.

   - Two improvements for hmm_range_fault(), from testing done by Ralph"

====================
This series extends RTNETLINK to provide IB port and node GUIDs, which
were configured for Infiniband VFs.

The functionality to set VF GUIDs already existed for a long time, and
here we are adding the missing "get" so that netlink will be symmetric and
various cloud orchestration tools will be able to manage such VFs more
naturally.

The iproute2 was extended too to present those GUIDs.

- ip link show &lt;device&gt;

For example:
- ip link set ib4 vf 0 node_guid 22:44:33:00:33:11:00:33
- ip link set ib4 vf 0 port_guid 10:21:33:12:00:11:22:10
- ip link show ib4
    ib4: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 4092 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 256
    link/infiniband 00:00:0a:2d:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:ec:0d:9a:03:00:44:36:8d brd 00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:40:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:00:ff:ff:ff:ff
