      IB/core: extended command: an improved infrastructure for uverbs commands · f21519b2
      Yann Droneaud 提交于
      Commit 400dbc96 ("IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs
      commands") added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands
      while later commit 436f2ad0 ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow
      through uverbs") exported ib_create_flow()/ib_destroy_flow() functions
      using this new infrastructure.
      
      According to the commit 400dbc96, the purpose of this
      infrastructure is to support passing around provider (eg. hardware)
      specific buffers when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that
      it would be possible to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently
      from the provider buffers.
      
      But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified to
      take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by Roland
      Dreier in a previous review[1].
      
      So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command
      infrastructure.
      
      This improved extensible command infrastructure distinguish between
      core (eg. legacy)'s command/response buffers from provider
      (eg. hardware)'s command/response buffers: each extended command
      implementing function is given a struct ib_udata to hold core
      (eg. uverbs) input and output buffers, and another struct ib_udata to
      hold the hw (eg. provider) input and output buffers.
      
      Having those buffers identified separately make it easier to increase
      one buffer to support extension without having to add some code to
      guess the exact size of each command/response parts: This should make
      the extended functions more reliable.
      
      Additionally, instead of relying on command identifier being greater
      than IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD, the proposed infrastructure rely on
      unused bits in command field: on the 32 bits provided by command
      field, only 6 bits are really needed to encode the identifier of
      commands currently supported by the kernel. (Even using only 6 bits
      leaves room for about 23 new commands).
      
      So this patch makes use of some high order bits in command field to
      store flags, leaving enough room for more command identifiers than one
      will ever need (eg. 256).
      
      The new flags are used to specify if the command should be processed
      as an extended one or a legacy one. While designing the new command
      format, care was taken to make usage of flags itself extensible.
      
      Using high order bits of the commands field ensure that newer
      libibverbs on older kernel will properly fail when trying to call
      extended commands. On the other hand, older libibverbs on newer kernel
      will never be able to issue calls to extended commands.
      
      The extended command header includes the optional response pointer so
      that output buffer length and output buffer pointer are located
      together in the command, allowing proper parameters checking. This
      should make implementing functions easier and safer.
      
      Additionally the extended header ensure 64bits alignment, while making
      all sizes multiple of 8 bytes, extending the maximum buffer size:
      
                                   legacy      extended
      
         Maximum command buffer:  256KBytes   1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
        Maximum response buffer:  256KBytes   1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
      
      For the purpose of doing proper buffer size accounting, the headers
      size are no more taken in account in "in_words".
      
      One of the odds of the current extensible infrastructure, reading
      twice the "legacy" command header, is fixed by removing the "legacy"
      command header from the extended command header: they are processed as
      two different parts of the command: memory is read once and
      information are not duplicated: it's making clear that's an extended
      command scheme and not a different command scheme.
      
      The proposed scheme will format input (command) and output (response)
      buffers this way:
      
      - command:
      
        legacy header +
        extended header +
        command data (core + hw):
      
          +----------------------------------------+
          | flags     |   00      00    |  command |
          |        in_words    |   out_words       |

          |                                        |
          .          <uverbs output space>         .
          .             (out_words * 8)            .
          |                                        |
          +----------------------------------------+
          |                                        |
          .         <provider output space>        .
          .         (provider_out_words * 8)       .
          |                                        |
          +----------------------------------------+
      
      The overall design is to ensure that the extensible infrastructure is
      itself extensible while begin more reliable with more input and bound
      checking.
      
      Note:
      
      The unused field in the extended header would be perfect candidate to
      hold the command "comp_mask" (eg. bit field used to handle
      compatibility).  This was suggested by Roland Dreier in a previous
      review[2].  But "comp_mask" field is likely to be present in the uverb
      input and/or provider input, likewise for the response, as noted by
      Matan Barak[3], so it doesn't make sense to put "comp_mask" in the
      header.

      IB/core: Add receive flow steering support · 319a441d
      Hadar Hen Zion 提交于
      The RDMA stack allows for applications to create IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET
      QPs, which receive plain Ethernet packets, specifically packets that
      don't carry any QPN to be matched by the receiving side.  Applications
      using these QPs must be provided with a method to program some
      steering rule with the HW so packets arriving at the local port can be
      routed to them.
      
      This patch adds ib_create_flow(), which allow providing a flow
      specification for a QP.  When there's a match between the
      specification and a received packet, the packet is forwarded to that
      QP, in a the same way one uses ib_attach_multicast() for IB UD
      multicast handling.
      
      Flow specifications are provided as instances of struct ib_flow_spec_yyy,
      which describe L2, L3 and L4 headers.  Currently specs for Ethernet, IPv4,
      TCP and UDP are defined.  Flow specs are made of values and masks.
      
      The input to ib_create_flow() is a struct ib_flow_attr, which contains
      a few mandatory control elements and optional flow specs.
      
          struct ib_flow_attr {
                  enum ib_flow_attr_type type;
                  u16      size;
                  u16      priority;
                  u32      flags;
                  u8       num_of_specs;
                  u8       port;
                  /* Following are the optional layers according to user request
                   * struct ib_flow_spec_yyy
                   * struct ib_flow_spec_zzz
                   */
          };
      
      As these specs are eventually coming from user space, they are defined and
      used in a way which allows adding new spec types without kernel/user ABI
      change, just with a little API enhancement which defines the newly added spec.
      
      The flow spec structures are defined with TLV (Type-Length-Value)
      entries, which allows calling ib_create_flow() with a list of variable
      length of optional specs.
      
      For the actual processing of ib_flow_attr the driver uses the number
      of specs and the size mandatory fields along with the TLV nature of
      the specs.
      
      Steering rules processing order is according to the domain over which
      the rule is set and the rule priority.  All rules set by user space
      applicatations fall into the IB_FLOW_DOMAIN_USER domain, other domains
      could be used by future IPoIB RFS and Ethetool flow-steering interface
      implementation.  Lower numerical value for the priority field means
      higher priority.
      
      The returned value from ib_create_flow() is a struct ib_flow, which
      contains a database pointer (handle) provided by the HW driver to be
      used when calling ib_destroy_flow().
      
      Applications that offload TCP/IP traffic can also be written over IB
      UD QPs.  The ib_create_flow() / ib_destroy_flow() API is designed to
      support UD QPs too.  A HW driver can set IB_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLOW_STEERING
      to denote support for flow steering.
      
      The ib_flow_attr enum type supports usage of flow steering for promiscuous
      and sniffer purposes:
      
          IB_FLOW_ATTR_NORMAL - "regular" rule, steering according to rule specification
      
          IB_FLOW_ATTR_ALL_DEFAULT - default unicast and multicast rule, receive
              all Ethernet traffic which isn't steered to any QP
      
          IB_FLOW_ATTR_MC_DEFAULT - same as IB_FLOW_ATTR_ALL_DEFAULT but only for multicast
      
          IB_FLOW_ATTR_SNIFFER - sniffer rule, receive all port traffic
      
      ALL_DEFAULT and MC_DEFAULT rules options are valid only for Ethernet link type.

      IB/core: Add "type 2" memory windows support · 7083e42e
      Shani Michaeli 提交于
      This patch enhances the IB core support for Memory Windows (MWs).
      
      MWs allow an application to have better/flexible control over remote
      access to memory.
      
      Two types of MWs are supported, with the second type having two flavors:
      
          Type 1  - associated with PD only
          Type 2A - associated with QPN only
          Type 2B - associated with PD and QPN
      
      Applications can allocate a MW once, and then repeatedly bind the MW
      to different ranges in MRs that are associated to the same PD. Type 1
      windows are bound through a verb, while type 2 windows are bound by
      posting a work request.
      
      The 32-bit memory key is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit
      key. The key is changed with each bind, thus allowing more control
      over the peer's use of the memory key.
      
      The changes introduced are the following:
      
      * add memory window type enum and a corresponding parameter to ib_alloc_mw.
      * type 2 memory window bind work request support.
      * create a struct that contains the common part of the bind verb struct
        ibv_mw_bind and the bind work request into a single struct.
      * add the ib_inc_rkey helper function to advance the tag part of an rkey.
      
      Consumer interface details:
      
      * new device capability flags IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A and
        IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B are added to indicate device support
        for these features.
      
        Devices can set either IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A or
        IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B if it supports type 2A or type 2B
        memory windows. It can set neither to indicate it doesn't support
        type 2 windows at all.
      
      * modify existing provides and consumers code to the new param of
        ib_alloc_mw and the ib_mw_bind_info structure

      IB: Change CQE "csum_ok" field to a bit flag · d927d505
      Or Gerlitz 提交于
      Use a bit in wc_flags rather then a whole integer to hold the
      "checksum OK" flag.  By itself, this change doesn't reduce the size of
      struct ib_wc on 64bit machines -- it stays on 56 bytes because of
      padding.  However, it will allow to add more fields in the future
      without enlarging the struct.  Also, it will let us have a unified
      approach with future libibverbs checksum offload reporting, because a
      bit flag doesn't break the library ABI.
