      IB/mlx5: Implement fragmented completion queue (CQ) · 388ca8be
      Yonatan Cohen authored
      The current implementation of create CQ requires contiguous
      memory, such requirement is problematic once the memory is
      fragmented or the system is low in memory, it causes for
      failures in dma_zalloc_coherent().
      
      This patch implements new scheme of fragmented CQ to overcome
      this issue by introducing new type: 'struct mlx5_frag_buf_ctrl'
      to allocate fragmented buffers, rather than contiguous ones.
      
      Base the Completion Queues (CQs) on this new fragmented buffer.
      
      It fixes following crashes:
      kworker/29:0: page allocation failure: order:6, mode:0x80d0

      net/mlx5: Remove redundant EQ API exports · 3ec5693b
      Saeed Mahameed authored
      EQ structure and API is private to mlx5_core driver only, external
      drivers should not have access or the means to manipulate EQ objects.
      
      Remove redundant exports and move API functions out of the linux/mlx5
      include directory into the driver's mlx5_core.h private include file.

      net/mlx5: Move CQ completion and event forwarding logic to eq.c · 3ac7afdb
      Saeed Mahameed authored
      Since CQ tree is now per EQ, CQ completion and event forwarding became
      specific implementation of EQ logic, this patch moves that logic to eq.c
      and makes those functions static.

      net/mlx5: CQ hold/put API · f105b45b
      Saeed Mahameed authored
      Now as the CQ table is per EQ, add an API to hold/put CQ to be used from
      eq.c in downstream patch.

      net/mlx5: CQ Database per EQ · 02d92f79
      Saeed Mahameed authored
      Before this patch the driver had one CQ database protected via one
      spinlock, this spinlock is meant to synchronize between CQ
      adding/removing and CQ IRQ interrupt handling.
      
      On a system with large number of CPUs and on a work load that requires
      lots of interrupts, this global spinlock becomes a very nasty hotspot
      and introduces a contention between the active cores, which will
      significantly hurt performance and becomes a bottleneck that prevents
      seamless cpu scaling.
      
      To solve this we simply move the CQ database and its spinlock to be per
      EQ (IRQ), thus per core.
      
      Tested with:
      system: 2 sockets, 14 cores per socket, hyperthreading, 2x14x2=56 cores
      netperf command: ./super_netperf 200 -P 0 -t TCP_RR  -H <server> -l 30 -- -r 300,300 -o -s 1M,1M -S 1M,1M
