      smc: establish pnet table management · 6812baab
      Thomas Richter 提交于
      Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal
      TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not
      restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing
      Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as
      long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and
      some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an
      identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID".
      Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet
      interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table.
      
      A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the
      associated network and IB device.
      This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the
      generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device
      by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table
      entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table.
      
      There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces
      or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device
      is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created.
      Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored;
      a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or
      IB device is removed.
