RDMA/core: Add memory management extensions support
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).

IPoIB: Copy small received SKBs in connected mode
The connected mode implementation in the IPoIB driver has a large
overhead in the way SKBs are handled in the receive flow. It usually
allocates an SKB with as big as was used in the currently received SKB
and moves unused fragments from the old SKB to the new one. This
involves a loop on all the remaining fragments and incurs overhead on
the CPU. This patch, for small SKBs, allocates an SKB just large
enough to contain the received data and copies to it the data from the
received SKB. The newly allocated SKB is passed to the stack and the
old SKB is reposted.
When running netperf, UDP small messages, without this pach I get:
UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
14.4.3.178 (14.4.3.178) port 0 AF_INET
Socket Message Elapsed Messages
Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput
bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec
With this patch I get both send and receive at ~315 mbps.
The reason that send performance actually slows down is as follows:
When using this patch, the overhead of the CPU for handling RX packets
is dramatically reduced. As a result, we do not experience RNR NAK
messages from the receiver which cause the connection to be closed and
reopened again; when the patch is not used, the receiver cannot handle
the packets fast enough so there is less time to post new buffers and
hence the mentioned RNR NACKs. So what happens is that the
application *thinks* it posted a certain number of packets for
transmission but these packets are flushed and do not really get
transmitted. Since the connection gets opened and closed many times,
each time netperf gets the CPU time that otherwise would have been
given to IPoIB to actually transmit the packets. This can be verified
when looking at the port counters -- the output of ifconfig and the
oputput of netperf (this is for the case without the patch):
tx packets
==========
port counter: 1,543,996
ifconfig: 1,581,426
netperf: 5,142,034

IB/mlx4: Optimize QP stamping
The idea is that for QPs with fixed size work requests (eg selective
signaling QPs), before stamping the WQE, we read the value of the DS
field, which gives the effective size of the descriptor as used in the
previous post. Then we stamp only that area, since the rest of the
descriptor is already stamped.
When initializing the send queue buffer, make sure the DS field is
initialized to the max descriptor size so that the subsequent stamping
will be done on the entire descriptor area.

IB/sa: Fail requests made while creating new SM AH
This patch solves a race that occurs after an event occurs that causes
the SA query module to flush its SM address handle (AH). When SM AH
becomes invalid and needs an update it is handled by the global
workqueue. On the other hand this event is also handled in the IPoIB
driver by queuing work in the ipoib_workqueue that does multicast
joins. Although queuing is in the right order, it is done to 2
different workqueues and so there is no guarantee that the first to be
queued is the first to be executed.
This causes a problem because IPoIB may end up sending an request to
the old SM, which will take a long time to time out (since the old SM
is gone); this leads to a much longer than necessary interruption in
multicast traffer.
The patch sets the SA query module's SM AH to NULL when the event
occurs, and until update_sm_ah() is done, any request that needs sm_ah
fails with -EAGAIN return status.
For consumers, the patch doesn't make things worse. Before the patch,
MADs are sent to the wrong SM so the request gets lost. Consumers can
be improved if they examine the return code and respond to EAGAIN
properly but even without an improvement the situation is not getting
worse.

Finally fixes a possible scheduling while in atomic context bug. The driver
used to wait on a waitqueue if no empty buffer was available. This could
lead to a deadlock if the driver was called from non-schedulable context.
So fix this. The write operation may fail now. It returns the number of
characters accepted. put_char will never fail, since it writes characters
to an intermediate buffer which gets flushed as soon as it is full.
That means the driver now can busy wait if something is in the intermediate
buffer and a write_string operation follows. Seems to be an acceptable
compromise, since that shouldn't happen too often.

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.
This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

Some macros in pgtable.h access members from struct task_struct.
Currently always works since sched.h seems always to be included
before asm/pgtable.h. Unfortunately that is not anymore true with
Jeremy Fitzhardinge's ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction patch.
So fix this.

Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL
command line using the IPL PARM option.
If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute
'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot.
Examples:
IPL C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1
IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss
echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm

[S390] ap: Use high-resolution timer for polling
The ap poll mechanism is converted to use a high-resolution timer for
polling. This allows more specific polling. With this a new sysfs
attribute is introduced to specify the polling rate in nanoseconds.

Fix a number of sclp_vt220 cleanup problems:
* fix list_empty check after list_del()
* mark init-only flag as __initdata
* remove implicit dependency between slab_available() and num_pages
* straighten multiple init handling (use init count)

This patch adds a driver for subchannels of type chsc.
A device /dev/chsc is created which may be used to issue ioctls to:
- obtain information about the machine's I/O configuration
- dynamically change the machine's I/O configuration via
asynchronous chsc commands
Passing the affected chpid in chp_event() worked only by
chance since chpid is the first element in res_acc_data.
Make it work properly by generalizing res_acc_data as
chp_link and always passing around a properly filled out
chp_link structure in chp_event().

[S390] cio: introduce isc_(un)register functions.
This interface makes it easy for drivers to register usage of different
I/O interruption subclasses without needing to worry about possible
other users of the same isc.
