Thus instead of inferring, we should have our own mechanism for IB management capability/protocol/feature checking, several proposals below. This patch set will reform the method of getting transport type, we will now using query_transport() instead of inferring from transport and link layer respectively, also we defined the new transport type to make the concept more reasonable. Mapping List: node-type link-layer old-transport new-transport nes RNIC ETH IWARP IWARP amso1100 RNIC ETH IWARP IWARP cxgb3 RNIC ETH IWARP IWARP cxgb4 RNIC ETH IWARP IWARP usnic USNIC_UDP ETH USNIC_UDP USNIC_UDP ocrdma IB_CA ETH IB IBOE mlx4 IB_CA IB/ETH IB IB/IBOE mlx5 IB_CA IB IB IB ehca IB_CA IB IB IB ipath IB_CA IB IB IB mthca IB_CA IB IB IB qib IB_CA IB IB IB For example: if (transport == IB) && (link-layer == ETH) will now become: if (query_transport() == IBOE) Thus we will be able to get rid of the respective transport and link-layer checking, and it will help us to add new protocol/Technology (like OPA) more easier, also with the introduced management helpers, IB management logical will be more clear and easier for extending. TODO: The patch set covered a wide range of IB stuff, thus for those who are familiar with the particular part, your suggestion would be invaluable ;-) Patches haven't been tested yet, we appreciate if any one who have these HW willing to provide his Tested-by :-) Proposals: Sean: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/msg23339.html Doug: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/msg23418.html Jason: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/msg23425.html Michael Wang (17): [PATCH v2 01/17] IB/Verbs: Implement new callback query_transport() for each HW [PATCH v2 02/17] IB/Verbs: Implement raw management helpers [PATCH v2 03/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ib_mad() for mad-check [PATCH v2 04/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ib_smi() for smi-check [PATCH v2 05/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ib_cm() for cm-check [PATCH v2 06/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ib_sa() for sa-check [PATCH v2 07/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ib_mcast() for mcast-check [PATCH v2 08/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ipoib() for ipoib-check [PATCH v2 09/17] IB/Verbs: Use helper cap_read_multi_sge() and reform svc_rdma_accept() [PATCH v2 10/17] IB/Verbs: Adopt management helpers for IB helpers [PATCH v2 11/17] IB/Verbs: Reform link_layer_show() and ib_uverbs_query_port() [PATCH v2 12/17] IB/Verbs: Use management helper cap_ib_cm_dev() for cm-device-check [PATCH v2 13/17] IB/Verbs: Reform cma/ucma with management helpers [PATCH v2 14/17] IB/Verbs: Reserve legacy transport type for 'struct rdma_dev_addr' [PATCH v2 15/17] IB/Verbs: Reform cma_acquire_dev() with management helpers [PATCH v2 16/17] IB/Verbs: Cleanup rdma_node_get_transport() [PATCH v2 17/17] IB/Verbs: Move rdma_port_get_link_layer() to mlx4 head file --- drivers/infiniband/core/agent.c | 2 drivers/infiniband/core/cm.c | 22 +- drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c | 281 ++++++++++++--------------- drivers/infiniband/core/device.c | 1 drivers/infiniband/core/mad.c | 20 - drivers/infiniband/core/multicast.c | 12 - drivers/infiniband/core/sa_query.c | 29 +- drivers/infiniband/core/sysfs.c | 8 drivers/infiniband/core/ucm.c | 3 drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c | 25 -- drivers/infiniband/core/user_mad.c | 26 +- drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_cmd.c | 6 drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c | 51 ---- drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/c2_provider.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb3/iwch_provider.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/provider.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_hca.c | 6 drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_iverbs.h | 3 drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_main.c | 1 drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_verbs.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/main.c | 10 drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/mlx4_ib.h | 8 drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_provider.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes_verbs.c | 6 drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_main.c | 1 drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_verbs.c | 6 drivers/infiniband/hw/ocrdma/ocrdma_verbs.h | 3 drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_verbs.c | 7 drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_ib_main.c | 1 drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_ib_verbs.c | 6 drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_ib_verbs.h | 2 drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_main.c | 17 - include/rdma/ib_verbs.h | 163 ++++++++++++++- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_recvfrom.c | 4 net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_transport.c | 12 - 36 files changed, 490 insertions(+), 294 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
