      mlx4_core: resource tracking for HCA resources used by guests · c82e9aa0
      Eli Cohen 提交于
      The resource tracker is used to track usage of HCA resources by the different
      guests.
      
      Virtual functions (VFs) are attached to guest operating systems but
      resources are allocated from the same pool and are assigned to VFs. It is
      essential that hostile/buggy guests not be able to affect the operation of
      other VFs, possibly attached to other guest OSs since ConnectX firmware is not
      tolerant to misuse of resources.
      
      The resource tracker module associates each resource with a VF and maintains
      state information for the allocated object. It also defines allowed state
      transitions and enforces them.
      
      Relationships between resources are also referred to. For example, CQs are
      pointed to by QPs, so it is forbidden to destroy a CQ if a QP refers to it.
      
      ICM memory is always accessible through the primary function and hence it is
      allocated by the owner of the primary function.
      
      When a guest dies, an FLR is generated for all the VFs it owns and all the
      resources it used are freed.
      
      The tracked resource types are: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MACs, RES_EQs,
      and XRCDNs.
