      RDMA/uverbs: Export XRC domains to user space · 53d0bd1e
      Sean Hefty authored
      Allow user space to create XRC domains.  Because XRCDs are expected to
      be shared among multiple processes, we use inodes to identify an XRCD.

      RDMA/verbs: Cleanup XRC TGT QPs when destroying XRCD · d3d72d90
      Sean Hefty authored
      XRC TGT QPs are intended to be shared among multiple users and
      processes.  Allow the destruction of an XRC TGT QP to be done explicitly
      through ib_destroy_qp() or when the XRCD is destroyed.
      
      To support destroying an XRC TGT QP, we need to track TGT QPs with the
      XRCD.  When the XRCD is destroyed, all tracked XRC TGT QPs are also
      cleaned up.
      
      To avoid stale reference issues, if a user is holding a reference on a
      TGT QP, we increment a reference count on the QP.  The user releases the
      reference by calling ib_release_qp.  This releases any access to the QP
      from a user above verbs, but allows the QP to continue to exist until
      destroyed by the XRCD.

      RDMA/core: Add XRC QPs · b42b63cf
      Sean Hefty authored
      XRC ("eXtended reliable connected") is an IB transport that provides
      better scalability by allowing senders to specify which shared receive
      queue (SRQ) should be used to receive a message, which essentially
      allows one transport context (QP connection) to serve multiple
      destinations (as long as they share an adapter, of course).
      
      XRC communication is between an initiator (INI) QP and a target (TGT)
      QP.  Target QPs are associated with SRQs through an XRCD.  An XRC TGT QP
      behaves like a receive-only RD QP.  XRC INI QPs behave similarly to RC
      QPs, except that work requests posted to an XRC INI QP must specify the
      remote SRQ that is the target of the work request.
      
      We define two new QP types for XRC, to distinguish between INI and TGT
      QPs, and update the core layer to support XRC QPs.

      RDMA/core: Add XRC SRQ type · 418d5130

      XRC ("eXtended reliable connected") is an IB transport that provides

      XRC defines SRQs that are specifically used by XRC connections.  Expand
      the SRQ code to support XRC SRQs.  An XRC SRQ is currently restricted to
      only XRC use according to the IB XRC Annex.

      RDMA/core: Add SRQ type field · 96104eda
      Sean Hefty authored
      Currently, there is only a single ("basic") type of SRQ, but with XRC
      support we will add a second.  Prepare for this by defining an SRQ type
      and setting all current users to IB_SRQT_BASIC.

      RDMA/core: Add XRC domain support · 59991f94
      Sean Hefty authored
      XRC ("eXtended reliable connected") is an IB transport that provides
      better scalability by allowing senders to specify which shared receive
      queue (SRQ) should be used to receive a message, which essentially
      allows one transport context (QP connection) to serve multiple
      destinations (as long as they share an adapter, of course).
      
      A few new concepts are introduced to support this.  This patch adds:
      
       - A new device capability flag, IB_DEVICE_XRC, which low-level
         drivers set to indicate that a device supports XRC.
       - A new object type, XRC domains (struct ib_xrcd), and new verbs
         ib_alloc_xrcd()/ib_dealloc_xrcd().  XRCDs are used to limit which
         XRC SRQs an incoming message can target.
      
      This patch is derived from work by Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il>.
