      mlx4_core: Roll back round robin bitmap allocation commit for CQs, SRQs, and MPTs · 7c6d74d2
      Jack Morgenstein 提交于
      Commit f4ec9e95 "mlx4_core: Change bitmap allocator to work in round-robin fashion"
      introduced round-robin allocation (via bitmap) for all resources which allocate
      via a bitmap.
      
      Round robin allocation is desirable for mcgs, counters, pd's, UARs, and xrcds.
      These are simply numbers, with no involvement of ICM memory mapping.
      
      Round robin is required for QPs, since we had a problem with immediate
      reuse of a 24-bit QP number (commit f4ec9e95).
      
      However, for other resources which use the bitmap allocator and involve
      mapping ICM memory -- MPTs, CQs, SRQs -- round-robin is not desirable.
      
      What happens in these cases is the following:
      
      ICM memory is allocated and mapped in chunks of 256K.
      
      Since the resource allocation index goes up monotonically, the allocator
      will eventually require mapping a new chunk. Now, chunks are also unmapped
      when their reference count goes back to zero.  Thus, if a single app is
      running and starts/exits frequently we will have the following situation:
      
      When the app starts, a new chunk must be allocated and mapped.
      
      When the app exits, the chunk reference count goes back to zero, and the
      chunk is unmapped and freed. Therefore, the app must pay the cost of allocation
      and mapping of ICM memory each time it runs (although the price is paid only when
      allocating the initial entry in the new chunk).
      
      For apps which allocate MPTs/SRQs/CQs and which operate as described above,
      this presented a performance problem.
      
      We therefore roll back the round-robin allocator modification for MPTs, CQs, SRQs.

      IB/mlx4: Handle protocol field in multicast table · da995a8a
      Aleksey Senin 提交于
      The newest device firmware stores IB vs. Ethernet protocol in two bits
      in members_count field of multicast group table (0: Infiniband, 1:
      Ethernet).  When changing the QP members count for a multicast group,
      it important not to reset this information.  When calling multicast
      attach first time, the protocol type should be specified.  In this
      patch we always set it IB, but in the future we will handle Ethernet
      too.  When looking for a QP, the protocol type shoud be checked too.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
