      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.

      RDMA/core: Add memory management extensions support · 00f7ec36
      Steve Wise 提交于
      This patch adds support for the IB "base memory management extension"
      (BMME) and the equivalent iWARP operations (which the iWARP verbs
      mandates all devices must implement).  The new operations are:
      
       - Allocate an ib_mr for use in fast register work requests.
      
       - Allocate/free a physical buffer lists for use in fast register work
         requests.  This allows device drivers to allocate this memory as
         needed for use in posting send requests (eg via dma_alloc_coherent).
      
       - New send queue work requests:
         * send with remote invalidate
         * fast register memory region
         * local invalidate memory region
         * RDMA read with invalidate local memory region (iWARP only)
      
      Consumer interface details:
      
       - A new device capability flag IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS is added
         to indicate device support for these features.
      
       - New send work request opcodes IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, IB_WR_LOCAL_INV,
         IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV are added.
      
       - A new consumer API function, ib_alloc_mr() is added to allocate
         fast register memory regions.
      
       - New consumer API functions, ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list() and
         ib_free_fast_reg_page_list() are added to allocate and free
         device-specific memory for fast registration page lists.
      
       - A new consumer API function, ib_update_fast_reg_key(), is added to
         allow the key portion of the R_Key and L_Key of a fast registration
         MR to be updated.  Consumers call this if desired before posting
         a IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR work request.
      
      Consumers can use this as follows:
      
       - MR is allocated with ib_alloc_mr().
      
       - Page list memory is allocated with ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list().
      
       - MR R_Key/L_Key "key" field is updated with ib_update_fast_reg_key().
      
       - MR made VALID and bound to a specific page list via
         ib_post_send(IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR)
      
       - MR made INVALID via ib_post_send(IB_WR_LOCAL_INV),
         ib_post_send(IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV) or an incoming send with
         invalidate operation.
      
       - MR is deallocated with ib_dereg_mr()
      
       - page lists dealloced via ib_free_fast_reg_page_list().
      
      Applications can allocate a fast register MR once, and then can
      repeatedly bind the MR to different physical block lists (PBLs) via
      posting work requests to a send queue (SQ).  For each outstanding
      MR-to-PBL binding in the SQ pipe, a fast_reg_page_list needs to be
      allocated (the fast_reg_page_list is owned by the low-level driver
      from the consumer posting a work request until the request completes).
      Thus pipelining can be achieved while still allowing device-specific
      page_list processing.
      
      The 32-bit fast register memory key/STag is composed of a 24-bit index
      and an 8-bit key.  The application can change the key each time it
      fast registers thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the
      key/STag (ie it can effectively be changed each time the rkey is
      rebound to a page list).

      IB: Return "maybe missed event" hint from ib_req_notify_cq() · ed23a727
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      The semantics defined by the InfiniBand specification say that
      completion events are only generated when a completions is added to a
      completion queue (CQ) after completion notification is requested.  In
      other words, this means that the following race is possible:
      
      	while (CQ is not empty)
      		ib_poll_cq(CQ);
      	// new completion is added after while loop is exited
      	ib_req_notify_cq(CQ);
      	// no event is generated for the existing completion
      
      To close this race, the IB spec recommends doing another poll of the
      CQ after requesting notification.
      
      However, it is not always possible to arrange code this way (for
      example, we have found that NAPI for IPoIB cannot poll after
      requesting notification).  Also, some hardware (eg Mellanox HCAs)
      actually will generate an event for completions added before the call
      to ib_req_notify_cq() -- which is allowed by the spec, since there's
      no way for any upper-layer consumer to know exactly when a completion
      was really added -- so the extra poll of the CQ is just a waste.
      
      Motivated by this, we add a new flag "IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS" for
      ib_req_notify_cq() so that it can return a hint about whether the a
      completion may have been added before the request for notification.
      The return value of ib_req_notify_cq() is extended so:
      
      	 < 0	means an error occurred while requesting notification
      	== 0	means notification was requested successfully, and if
      		IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in, then no
      		events were missed and it is safe to wait for another
      		event.
      	 > 0	is only returned if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was
      		passed in.  It means that the consumer must poll the
      		CQ again to make sure it is empty to avoid the race
      		described above.
      
      We add a flag to enable this behavior rather than turning it on
      unconditionally, because checking for missed events may incur
      significant overhead for some low-level drivers, and consumers that
      don't care about the results of this test shouldn't be forced to pay
      for the test.

      IB: Add CQ comp_vector support · f4fd0b22
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
      ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels
      the userspace libibverbs API.  Update all hardware drivers to set
      num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector
      value.  Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than
      hard-coding a value of 1.
      
      We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
      adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
      how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
      such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
      affinity.  This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
      changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
      vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
      anyway.
