  • a7ca1f00e   RDMA/ucma: Add option to manually set IB path ... Browse Code »

    Export rdma_set_ib_paths to user space to allow applications to
    manually set the IB path used for connections. This allows
    alternative ways for a user space application or library to obtain
    path record information, including retrieving path information
    from cached data, avoiding direct interaction with the IB SA.
    The IB SA is a single, centralized entity that can limit scaling
    on large clusters running MPI applications.

    Future changes to the rdma cm can expand on this framework to
    support the full range of features allowed by the IB CM, such as
    separate forward and reverse paths and APM.

  • 88314e4dd   RDMA/cma: add support for rdma_migrate_id() ... Browse Code »

    This is based on user feedback from Doug Ledford at RedHat:

    Events that occur on an rdma_cm_id are reported to userspace through an
    event channel. Connection request events are reported on the event
    channel associated with the listen. When the connection is accepted, a
    new rdma_cm_id is created and automatically uses the listen event
    channel. This is suboptimal where the user only wants listen events on
    that channel.

    Additionally, it may be desirable to have events related to connection
    establishment use a different event channel than those related to
    already established connections.

    Allow the user to migrate an rdma_cm_id between event channels. All
    pending events associated with the rdma_cm_id are moved to the new event
    channel.

  • c8f6a362b   RDMA/cma: Add multicast communication support ... Browse Code »

    Extend rdma_cm to support multicast communication. Multicast support
    is added to the existing RDMA_PS_UDP port space, as well as a new
    RDMA_PS_IPOIB port space. The latter port space allows joining the
    multicast groups used by IPoIB, which enables offloading IPoIB traffic
    to a separate QP. The port space determines the signature used in the
    MGID when joining the group. The newly added RDMA_PS_IPOIB also
    allows for unicast operations, similar to RDMA_PS_UDP.

    Supporting the RDMA_PS_IPOIB requires changing how UD QPs are initialized,
    since we can no longer assume that the qkey is constant. This requires
    saving the Q_Key to use when attaching to a device, so that it is
    available when creating the QP. The Q_Key information is exported to
    the user through the existing rdma_init_qp_attr() interface.

    Multicast support is also exported to userspace through the rdma_ucm.
